Is Undercoating Necessary for New Cars?
1 Answers
Check whether the wheel arches, inner fenders, and connecting steel frames of the new car have protective coatings and whether the protective materials are of high quality. If these areas are not up to standard, undercoating becomes highly necessary. Below is relevant information about undercoating: 1. Introduction to Undercoating: The technical term for automotive undercoating is "UNDERCOATING," a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating. It is non-toxic, offers high coverage and adhesion, and can be sprayed on exposed areas such as the vehicle's undercarriage, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower panels, and trunk. After quick drying, it forms a tough, elastic protective layer that prevents damage from flying stones and gravel, as well as protects against moisture, acid rain, and salt corrosion on the metal undercarriage, preventing rust and ensuring driving safety. "Undercoating" or "underbody sealing" are new terms in undercarriage rust protection. Despite different names, both involve spraying a 2–4mm thick elastic sealing material on the car's undercarriage, akin to putting a thick armor on it. Undercoating is a vivid description of this technology. 2. Benefits of Undercoating: Undercoating effectively shields the undercarriage from road debris impacts, prevents minor scrapes, protects against acid, alkali, and salt corrosion on the undercarriage metal, prevents loosening of undercarriage screws, reduces noise transmission during driving for a quieter ride, and blocks heat transfer from the undercarriage metal, keeping the cabin warm in winter and cool in summer.
