Underbody Coating

UNDERBODY COATING:

  • It is a dense cladding rubberish material applied under the vehicles in order to undergo rust and corrosion resistance.
  • It protects the underparts of the vehicle, which physically can't be maintained periodically.

TYPES:

  • Water-based undercoats
  • Petroleum-based undercoats
  • Asphalt based undercoats

WATER-BASED UNDERCOATS:

  • It is the most popular and do-it-yourself process at an affordable rate.
  • It gets into parts and is stored in aerosol formats.
  • It will be available in normal automobile workshops.
  • This process should be repeated frequently over a period of time.

PETROLEUM-BASED UNDERCOATS:

  • They are based upon oil, hence providing the greatest deflective ability for road salts and grime.
  • It helps to repel ice and water better than water-based undercoats.
  • Available in-company workshop and replaced once a year.

ASPHALT-BASED UNDERCOATS:

  • It is the strongest undercoating used under vehicles on all terrains, especially military vehicles.
  • It is the best and most long-lasting undercoat that endure heavy road use.
  • It is the thickest coating and has high damage resistance properties.

PROS:

  • Protection against rust and corrosion.
  • Protects from salt and sand in roadways.
  • Protects the undercarriage of your vehicle.
  • Maintain corrosion in the vehicle.

CONS:

  • It is only suitable for newly manufactured vehicles.
  • A used vehicle is not suitable for undercoating, without neglecting the existence of corrosion developed.
  • In that manner removing the existing rust and corrosion, after the undercoating process takes place will be much more expensive.
