Underbody coating is used to prevent chipping damage of the automobile underbody and wheel well. Multi-functional material that gives sound insulating properties is called sound insulating underbody coating. This paper describes the development of underbody coating material with powdered acrylic composition as an alternative to polyvinyl chloride resin. The new material also has better foaming properties. It is possible to ensure excellent sound insulating performance with thin film. This multi-functional underbody coating is the first application in the world with weight reduction and cost saving, and in a more environmentally acceptable manner.

Presently, asphalt sheets are utilized as a sound insulator for floor panels. However, there is a rising demand for the development of a totally new sound insulator twofold: to meet weight reductions and to improve the manufacturing process. In order to meet these criteria, unique sprayable material, which exhibits highly stable insulation performance over a broad temperature range, was developed. Liquid sound dampers are the next-generation in sound insulation material, which not only exhibits high sound insulation performance for an insulator, but also raises expectations for radical weight reductions due to its dynamic application capabilities.
