Quality assured corrosion protection in the automotive industry - a challenge. The global automotive industry's demands on suppliers working on methods to combat corrosion and its effects include not only the economic loss caused by corrosion but also its impact on the environment and users. By transferring best practice between us as a supplier and the automotive industry, we can ensure that targets are met at the lowest possible cost and environmental impact.
Work in progress WIP - processes
The first step to success is to evaluate the entire production flow from the moment the raw material reaches the factory until the product leaves the factory. This includes processing, intermediate storage and transport. Tribotec and Cortec® use this information while analysing the work-in-progress (WIP) to implement the corrosion protection at exactly the right point in the production flow. The corrosion protection can be applied in the machining, washing process, as well as in subsequent steps.
Quality assurance PPAP
PPAP (Pre Production Approval Process) is a process developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group. It involves eliminating safety risks from the product before it reaches customers. This is achieved by anticipating possible failure modes, eliminating them in the design, assessing the accuracy of measurement systems, ensuring consequences, and documenting and planning.
Tribotec's VpCI (VCI) corrosion protection supplier Cortec® works according to this methodology to develop the most efficient processes to ensure that corrosion does not affect a new product.
Tribotec, with the help of Cortec Corp, offers highly effective and economical corrosion protection for automotive applications without compromising the environment. Cortec® products are developed with a patented VpCI technology (vapour phase inhibitors).
This allows us to provide customers and partners with state-of-the-art project management, development, design, application expertise, and training to ensure zero defects. For over 35 years, we have been delivering high-quality turnkey solutions for manufacturers, engineering firms, and project managers in the automotive and other manufacturing industries. By transferring best practice between us and the industry, Tribotec and Cortec® can ensure that targets are met at the lowest possible cost and environmental impact.
