Underbody Coating

Short Notes

Underbody Coating:

We daily, can see many cars parked outside while traversing on roads. Due to lack of space in apartments or even individual houses we leave cars outside our homes 24/7. Out of all things we do while preparing our car for a monsoon ride, protecting the underbody is the most important thing. The under body is prone to corrosion. Below are some important benefits of underbody coating.

• Protects Against Rust & Corrosion: The primary objective of getting underbody coating done is preventing metal components that are exposed on the bottom side of the car to damage from corrosion. You can shut out the adverse effects of corrosion on your car by simply applying a rubberized anti-rust coating all over the belly of your car.
• Reduces Noise, vibrations and harshness levels: Roads in our country are full of ditches and pits. The stones from the road hit the wheel wells and create noise. If we apply the underbody coating because of the thick layered coating the noise levels reduce and improves the overall driving experience.
• Prevents paint chipping: While the car maneuvers around the city at high speeds pebbles hit the bottom surface with very high momentum. This might result in chipping of the paint. Thick underbody coating protects the paint from chipping off.
• Protects vital components: Most important parts of a car, like the silencer, engine etc are exposed from beneath. We cannot leave the parts to rust. It’s a wise decision to protect the car by coating it instead of choosing to pay a hefty repair bill.

Examples of some underbody coating chemicals:

1. Nox-Rust^®1523

• A firm film undercoating material formulated to provide corrosion protection, sound deadening and moisture sealing properties
• Designed for the underside of highway trailers, bus bodies and automotive vehicles.

2. Nox-Rust^®AC-523

• A firm film undercoating material.
• Formulated to provide corrosion protection, sound deadening and moisture sealing properties to the underside of highway trailers, bus bodies and automotive vehicles.
• Composed of an abrasive free asphalt based material, dispersed in a petroleum solvent to provide a homogenous mastic type compound.
