if you have ever travelled in an old car down a gravel road you have heard the thunderous sound of hundreds of tiny pieces of rock being hurled at the underside of a vehicle. Not only is it deafening, it is also damaging. A car underbody coating:
utomotive underbody coating can be factory-applied or an aftermarket product. Most commonly these coatings are bitumen, resin, and wax based. The most suitable coating type is dependent on the required degree of protection, and the elements the car underside is likely to be exposed to.
Applying automotive underbody coating to protect the car underside.
Now we will tell you why you should consider investing in a vehicle underbody coating
It plays an important role in keeping corrosion at bay. Underbody coating can come in handy especially if you live near the sea, where there is too much humidity, and rusting is just one of those everyday things. You should also seriously consider undercoating if you reside in a place where it snows in winter.
Believe it or not, very thick undercoating can soften the noises that reach the cabin. Since the undercoating is often made up of rubber it absorbs some of the rackets. The occupants of the car could spare themselves of the road noises – at least up to a certain extend.
If your car comes with stock underbody coating, using another coating on top of it, is not going to hurt. It will offer additional reinforcement, protecting the underbody from water, road debris, gravel and small pebbles. There would also be a lesse
TYPES OF UNDERBODY COATING
1. RUBBERIZED UNDERCOATING
Rubberized undercoating is easy to apply, and offers the best protective coating for car’s undercarriage. It cushions surfaces against moisture, rust, dings, and dents. Rubberized undercoating is safe to use on wheel wells, quarter panels and dries with a soft rubbery finish.
2. ASPHALT-BASED UNDERCOATING
It has higher level of protection suitable for lorry's, Trucks or heavy machinery vehicles. It’s made up with some bits of rubberized material to aid in noise reduction. It offers extra protection against chips and moisture but is not paintable.
3. POLYURETHANE UNDERCOATING
this type of underbody coating requires some surface preparation work before application, like degreasing, and applying an etching primer to the bare metal.It is easy to apply and works by sealing up cracks. The compound displaces salt and moisture and protects the unoxidized metal from rust. It’s often sold in canisters that are ready to preload into an application gun.
4. WAX OR PARAFFIN-BASED UNDERCOATING
Wax or paraffin-based undercoating sprays are the cheapest and quickest options available. However, their results don’t last long, and you may have to apply a fresh coat after only a few months. In addition, the wax isn’t very adhesive on a metal surface. Its main advantage is that it seeps quickly into cracks and seams, and offers moderate protective properties against moisture.
