Sprutstänkskydd

Sprutstänkskydd, which translates to "splash guard" or "mudguard" in English, is a protective component primarily found on vehicles, but also in industrial settings. On vehicles, its main purpose is to prevent mud, water, and debris from being thrown upwards and backwards by rotating wheels. This protects other road users, the vehicle's bodywork, and the windshield from damage and reduced visibility. Sprutstänkskydd can be made from various materials, including rubber, plastic, or metal, and their design can vary from simple flaps behind the wheels to more integrated body panels. They are a common safety feature on cars, trucks, and motorcycles. In industrial applications, sprutstänkskydd serves a similar function, preventing splashes of liquids or particles from escaping machinery or work areas, thus enhancing workplace safety and cleanliness. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to any device designed to shield against splashes, such as those found in kitchens or bathrooms.
