Underbody Coating

UNDER-BODY COATING:-

• Underbody coating are those which are used to prevent car bodies against rust and corrosion.
• Ideally any additional underbody coating should be applied when the car is brand new clean.
• car manufacturers use thick paints and sealants for the underbody,but adding an underbody coat especially in coastal areas is useful.
• salt water tends to corrode cars really bad
• cars today are manufactured with corrosion protection,which makes this added treatment unnecessary though it is profitable for car dealerships.
• underbody is designed to help lengthen the life of car by preventing rust and other corrosion issues.

TYPES OF VEHICLES UNDER-BODY COATING:-

1.Rubberized underbody coating

2.wax based underbody coating

3.Asphalt based automotive undercoating

4.polyrethane underbody coating

• RUBBERIZED UNDERBODY COATING:-Rubberized undercoating is easy to apply and offers sound cushioning as well as protection from dust ,moisture, dings or dents.
• The coating can be painted over and if necessary for body work,canbe esily removed with an undercoating removal spray.
• overall ,rubberized coating is generally the best option for protecting your vehicle's undercarriage.
• WAX BASED UNDERCOATINGS:-
• wax based undercoatings never truly harden.
• drip or flow into seams and cracks to provide protective properties.
• they are usually aailable in a spray gun canister or in a aersol can and offer a least a base protection in moderately humid climates.

• ASPHALT BASED UNDERCOATING:-

Asphalt-based undercoating generally contains a little bit of rubberized material that sets up firmly and also helps soften noise. Generally sold in five gallon containers, this type of undercoating also needs more cure time than the other three, and is NOT paintable, making it best to use only for undercarriages.

• POLYURETHANE UNDERCOATING:-

Polyurethane coating is easy to apply and works by sealing up cracks and seams. 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. It, however, requires some surface prep work before application, like degreasing, and applying an etching primer to the bare metal.

•  ADVANTAGES OF UNDER BODT COATING:-

1.Fights rust

2.Absorbs noise

3.reinforcement

4.prolong car's life

• DISADVANTAGES OF UNDERBODY COATING:-
• A used vehicle may already have residue on the bottom of the car or even have spots of rust and corrosion.
• Undercoating will not help you if corrosion already exists and the corrosion needs to be removed first before it can be applied for u.
