Vehicles subjected to Indian duty cycles have to undergo extreme environments & road terrains, stone chipping. Underbody wear from this is one of the most significant forms of deleterious corrosion. Automobile companies deal with this by going for exotic & expensive underbody coating, which compositionally are "Polyvinyl Plastisol also popularly known as Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC)". Across automotive industry, the stone chipping is prevented via applying PVC-coating to the extent of 800-1000 microns. The application of PVC-material throughout the vehicle underbody will add approximately 8-12 Kgs of weight. Our objective was to reduce the weight of applied PVC-material.
