Benefits of anti-rust coating for car chassis
Surely many drivers are wondering whether to paint the chassis of their car or not and what are the benefits of this?
For a humid tropical environment like in Vietnam, the temperature changes constantly, along with a lot of dust. And if the car is still operating in worse road conditions, it is easy for the car to rust, these harmful stains will quickly spread to other parts, making your car's chassis weaker, the joints not working well, making the car run very noisy and vibrating.
So how important is car undercoating? This article will help you understand the importance of car undercoating.
What is car undercoating?
The essence of car undercoating is to create a protective layer for the undercarriage with specialized materials for the undercarriage. To do this, people often use a special chemical sprayed on the entire car frame, helping to protect the car against factors such as dust, sun, rain, mud, etc.
Why should you paint the chassis?
The undercarriage can be cleaned with water, but it cannot be kept clean for long, and water cannot remove all the impurities that cause rust on the undercarriage. When painting the undercarriage, it will be like wearing an extra layer of armor for the car to protect it from many of the above harmful agents, helping to increase the life of the car and significantly save on maintenance and repair costs.
Many people often whisper to each other that undercoating also helps to reduce noise for cars, especially for popular cars. In fact, undercoating does not completely prevent noise for cars, but it will help to limit and reduce noise, the principle is to create a protective layer on the undercoat surface in the form of rough particles to help limit noise from the undercoat into the interior compartment.
Effects of car undercoating
– Anti-rust
– Anti-corrosion
– Anti-kickback
– Noise reduction
– Insulation
– High aesthetics
The first benefit of undercoating is anti-rust, helping to protect the standard paint layer of the car, avoiding oxidation and corrosion due to environmental impacts. The undercarriage is the part that is in direct contact with obstacles on the road. This is the most difficult part of the car to maintain, so it is easily damaged by rainwater causing rust, corrosive acids, salt water, flying stones, dust, etc.
What are the methods of car undercoating?
The first method that is most commonly used is using chemicals. Currently on the market there are many different types of chemicals, each with different origins and prices for customers to choose from, typically some types can be mentioned such as: Liqui Moly, 3M, Vaber Tex,
In addition to the chemical method, there is also a method of coating the chassis using CO2 dry ice blasting technology. Depending on the type of vehicle and the condition of the chassis, each method will have its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before deciding to use it, car owners should carefully consult with technicians.
