<h5 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="jrdiwt" data-start="175" data-end="199">Customer Challenge</h5> <p data-start="220" data-end="784">A car dealership in Hokkaido, Japan, was looking for a coating solution to improve the appearance of their vehicles' underbody—specifically, the muffler's silencer area. This part, located at the car's rear, reaches temperatures of 50–60°C during operation, so any product used must offer sufficient heat resistance. In addition, as a cold region, Hokkaido’s winter road conditions require calcium chloride for snow melting, which causes corrosion and visual degradation. The dealership needed a solution to protect and restore the look of the affected components.</p> <h5 data-section-id="7xls9h" data-start="791" data-end="817">Recommended Solution</h5> <p data-start="837" data-end="1016">NCH Asia Pacific recommended <strong data-start="866" data-end="878">Stay Put</strong>, a stainless-steel-based spray coating with excellent performance characteristics that effectively addressed the customer’s requirements.</p> <ul data-start="1036" data-end="1503"> <li data-section-id="b42e29" data-start="1036" data-end="1222"><strong data-start="1038" data-end="1058">Heat Resistance:</strong> Stay Put forms a heat-resistant coating that can withstand temperatures up to 600°C, making it suitable for use on components that heat up during engine operation.</li> <li data-section-id="1ol7772" data-start="1223" data-end="1392"><strong data-start="1225" data-end="1248">Visual Restoration:</strong> With its sleek silver finish, Stay Put significantly improved the appearance of the mufflers, which had previously shown signs of surface rust.</li> <li data-section-id="19vhfk4" data-start="1393" data-end="1503"><strong data-start="1395" data-end="1412">Quick Drying:</strong> Stay Put dries quickly, allowing for a second coat 30 minutes after the first application.</li> </ul> <h5 data-section-id="1296j4j" data-start="1510" data-end="1532">Results Achieved</h5> <p data-start="1534" data-end="1748">Thanks to the use of Stay Put, the customer achieved a coating that offered both high heat resistance and visual appeal. This enhanced the vehicles' durability and increased customer satisfaction at the dealership.</p>
