splash guard

Tire debris blocker

A splash guard is a protective barrier that prevents liquid from spraying outward.

In kitchens, it's a shield placed around mixing bowls or behind sinks.

On vehicles, it's a flap behind wheels to block mud and water from spraying other cars.

Urinals often have splash guards to contain splatter: The restroom installer positioned the splash guard carefully.
