Brilliant braking solution: The MEYLE Platinum Disc with UV paint finish

Hamburg, 23.09.2014. At the Automechanika 2014, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG will be debuting the latest generation of its premium MEYLE Platinum Discs with UV paint finish. State-of-the-art paint technology ensures even better anti-corrosion protection while adding a long-lasting brilliance to the brake disc's appearance. In addition, no oil film is required to protect the innovative surface of the MEYLE Platinum Disc – and where there is no oil, there is no need to remove it. The result: smoother repair procedures thanks to easier handling and quicker installation. Most MEYLE Platinum Disc kits come with the locating screw already included. This saves repairers the extra work in ordering the screw separately and makes brake disc replacement more efficient.

By refining the field-proven MEYLE finish Wulf Gaertner Autoparts offers professional repairers a bundle of benefits: The disc's improved corrosion resistance ensures extended brake disc life and satisfied customers. It is also a great time saver as it makes two basic installation procedures redundant: With the locating screw included in most kits, there is no longer any need to order it separately. Moreover, degreasing of the MEYLE Platinum Disc is not required, thus making the assembly a genuine pick-and-plug solution. As another competitive advantage, the manufacturing of enhanced MEYLE Platinum Discs involves an environmentally-friendly process in which the pioneering finish is cured using UV light and which consumes significantly less energy than traditional coating technologies: Compared with a standard zinc-flake coating, the savings in energy for the production of 100 UV light-cured Platinum Discs are equivalent to the annual amount of energy consumed by a refrigerator in a three-person household. The innovative MEYLE finish is also non-solvent-based.
Brake discs are subject to demanding external factors including heat, salt and moisture, making utmost resistance of the coating an essential performance criterion. The MEYLE Platinum Disc's special UV finish, better than any conventional coating, ensures excellent anti-corrosion protection. It also produces a long-lasting brilliant appearance of its metal looks, thanks to its brake dust-repelling finish and because the use of chemicals triggering discolouration of the surface, such as rim cleaners, is not required. Devised to offer superior service life, the Platinum Disc's finish also adds an eye-catching look.
Wulf Gaertner Autoparts is continually replacing all existing brake disc models with the latest MEYLE Platinum Disc design. The company also hosts a YouTube channel called "MEYLE TV", where users can find a video featuring step-by-step guidelines for brake disc replacement to professional standards. With "The MEYLE Mechanics" the company has launched a new YouTube project featuring installation and removal instructions, as well as repair tips and tricks from MEYLE experts to facilitate day-to-day workshop routine. This issue of "The MEYLE Mechanics" describes how to correctly measure wheel hub and brake disc lateral run-out complemented by practical information on brake disc replacement.
