BODYWORK
PROTECTING THE CAR FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution
– salty and humidity in the atmos-
phere (coastal or very hot and
humid areas)
– environmental conditions that
specific to the season.
In addition, the abrasiveness of
dust in the atmosphere and sand
carried by the wind as well as mud
and stones kicked up by other cars
must not be underestimated.
For your THESIS, LANCIA has
used leading-edge technological
solutions to effectively protect the
body from rust.
These are most important:
– Painting systems and products
that make the car particularly resis-
tant to rust and scratching.
– The use of zinc-plated sheet steel
which is highly resistant to rust.
– The spraying of the underbody,
engine compartment, inside the
wheelhouses and other parts with
wax-based products with a high pro-
tective capacity.
– Spraying plastic-coating materi-
als, to protect the most exposed
points: under the door, inside the
wings, the edges, etc.
– The use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water
from building up and rusting the
inside of the parts.
