5 Proven Benefits of Black Undercoating for Heavy-Duty Truck Floors
July 16, 2025Introduction
For trucking operations using Apitong wood flooring, protection matters as much as the wood itself. Black undercoating treatment delivers measurable improvements that meet and exceed industry durability standards. Backed by rigorous testing data, here's how this protective solution enhances performance for North America flooring applications.
1. Superior Adhesion That Meets Industry Demands
The cross-cut adhesion test shows black undercoating:
Consistently achieves 3B rating: the industry minimum standard for adhesion of dry coats according to ASTM D3359
Outperforms untreated surfaces in durability testing
