SPECIAL COATING FOR THE BEST CORROSION
THE SAF INTRA PC PREMIUM COATED AXLE FROM SAF-HOLLAND IS IDEAL FOR TANKER AND SILO APPLICATIONS AND COMES WITH A 10-YEAR WARRANTY.
The SAF-Holland range offers the ideal axle for commercial vehicles which regularly drive on icy and snow-covered roads: Thanks to a zinc-based coating, the SAF INTRA PC Premium Coated is resistant to the de-icing salts used in winter.
This allows trucks, tanker vehicles and silo vehicles to benefit from the longer service life of their axles and from the greater economic efficiency. The supplier for commercial vehicle parts offers a 10 year warranty on the additional coating.
De-icing salts ensure traffic safety on motorways, highways and inner-city roads covered in ice or snow. These salts, however, are controversial and their use is regulated in many places: De-icing salts are harmful to trees and plants at the roadside, pollute groundwater and cause corrosion damage on bridges, road surfaces and vehicles. In particular for trucks, which are frequently
Longer service life and higher economic efficiency – those are the advantages of the SAF INTRA PC Premium Coated axle from SAF-Holland.
exposed to de- icing salts and their impact, SAF-HOLLAND offers the weather-resistant SAF INTRA PC Premium Coated axle.
Premium Coated for a longer service life
The coating is applied using the optimised three-layer Premium Coated process: The axle is sand-blasted and a cathodic dip coating is applied. The component is then primed with a zinc-based powder coating, which protects against corrosion and offers good mechanical properties. As the zincbased paint is applied using an electro-static process, it reliably reaches even hidden corners, recesses and cavities. The pro- cess is completed with a cover layer and a grey top coat which can be painted over individually.
PROTECTION
Alexander Geis SAF-Holland CEO
Higher resale value from additional coating
“The high zinc content in the coating achieves excellent corrosion protection values – for long value retention and higher economic efficiency of the vehicles,” said SAF-Holland CEO, Alexander Geis.
The greater durability and the well-main-tained appearance of the axles additionally provide fleet operators with a higher resale value, in particular on high-quality tanker and silo bodies. Premium Coated is available as an option for all SAF INTRA suspensions in the nine-tonne range.
A special zinc coating protects the SAF INTRA PC Premium Coated axle against corrosion
10 year warranty against corrosion
The SAF INTRA PC Premium Coated is ideally protected against corrosion damage caused by weather and dirt. SAF-Holland is convinced of the quality and economic value of the specially coated axle: As the first and currently only axle manufacturer in the trailer segment, the company offers an optional additional coating for nine-tonne axles. In addition, the supplier for commercial vehicle parts offers a 10 year warranty on the coating which makes the axle ready for any weather condition.
HIGH QUALITY GRP FOR TANKS
HIGHLY RESISTANT TO CORROSION AND VERY EASY TO CLEAN, EASY TO REPAIR AND REFURBISH, BRIANZA PLASTICA GRP LAMINATES GIVE A HIGHER VALUE FOR LEASING CONTAINERS.
Brianza Plastica, the Italian Company with 60 years of history in the production of fibreglass laminates, counts today four production sites, with both continuous hot-laminating and discontinuous coldlaminating procedure to meet the different needs of customers in a fast growing and increasingly demanding market. Brianza Plastica production focuses on achieving high levels of quality, while ensuring high degree of safety and low environmental impact: in fact, all Brianza Plastica’s fibreglass laminates production sites are equipped with powerful suction

systems that purify the internal production areas by carrying the solvents to modern abatement plants that automatically powers itself by recovering the heat generated by the combustion of solvent. The heat recovered is partly reused to power the plant and partly to generate hot water for heating.
Brianza Plastica recently inaugurated a new laboratory for research and development and production control activities. The new laboratory is three times bigger than the previous one and also benefits from a significant increase in technical staff. It has also been expanded by additional equipment to carry out most of the chemical-physical tests on the raw materials used and on the finished products. The new facility is equipped with the most advanced instruments to support the production processes and composite laminates.
A wide and complete range allows customers to choose between Elycold fibreglass laminates, high quality products that stand out for the near invisibility of the fibreglass - thanks to the cold polymerisation of the material - and for the production flexibility that allows producing customised products even in small quantities, and Elyplan fibreglass laminates, which are characterised by an excellent quality/price ratio, the possibility to produce rolls in lengths as requested.
Elycold is a combination of polyester resin (orthophthalic and isophthalic) and glass fibre; over the years this composite material has replaced aluminium providing manufacturers with excellent long-term properties and UV protection.
Elycold laminates have the polymerisation process at room temperature. The result is perfect flatness, which is an indispensable feature for the production of very high quality panels with very good aesthetics.
The excellent dimensional stability of Elycold laminates is guaranteed by the use of fibreglass chopped strand mat, which can be combined with woven roving reinforcement to further improve the mechanical features of the laminate.
Low shrinkage resins provide a high resistance to UV-light and ensure: • A perfect overlay of the underlying fibreglass. • Long time surface durability. • Total impermeability and protection of the insulation inside the panel • A low level of yellowing recorded by ageing tests performed with UV – CON.
The high quality of Elyplan is guaranteed through the use of the finest raw materials and a gelcoat made from highly elastic isophthalic resins, ensuring high resistance to yellowing, impermeability to water vapor and condensations.
Elyplan gives complete protection from humidity of the panel’s sensitive elements, either expanded insulations or plywood based elements. It also helps maintain the insulation material’s integrity ensuring ATP certifications are kept on a long term basis or a better performance of refrigeration machines.
The extreme flexibility, lightness, resistance to chemicals and yellowing, and easy washability of the Elycold and Elyplan fibreglass laminates make them an excellent choice for covering liquid tank containers of any size or colour.
Brianza Plastica GRP is highly resistant to corrosion and very easy to clean. It’ easy to repair and refurbish, giving a higher value for leasing containers.
Brianza Plastica offers the largest proposal on the market for the tank containers sector, with many solutions able to satisfy every request: • Elycold, for high aesthetic requirements, 1.8-2.0 mm. • Elyplan std, for std tank with no specific requirements, GRP of 1.8-2.0 mm roving. • Elyplan Extraglass, for high resistance and light weight 1.5 mm (up to 17 per cent weight saving compared to Elycold 2.0 mm) and tensile strength up to 230 Mpa (compared to 95 Mpa of Elycold 2.0 mm).
This product is the result of synergies between different chemical and technical departments aimed at meeting the ever-increasing market demands for more effective materials. Elyplan Extra-Glass was designed to bring together very special characteristics in a single product, such as lightness, given by low specific weight, and high mechanical strength, coming from the high percentage of glass inside.
Elyplan Extra-Glass is suitable for vehicles that require high impact resistance and weight saving.
All products are available in sheets and rolls.
