Corrosion protection
Long-term protection against corrosion is guaranteed
by full galvanization of the steel body components.
Structural areas that are particularly susceptible to
corrosion are protected by additional cavity preserva-
tion.
To supplement this, the following protective measures
are used in addition to regular galvanizing in the manu-
facture of the sheet steel:
• Use of organically coated sheet steel
• Cataphoretic immersion primer bath
• Seam sealing
