Abstract: A light anti-chipping coating consisting of vinyl chloride plastic sol is manufactured by employing a hollow filler as a small portion of the overall filler component. Doing so permits weight reduction without deteriorating the anti-chipping property of the light anti-chipping coating.

Abstract: A sound-absorption material for an automobile includes a damping material, a sound-absorption material and a surface material. The damping, sound-absorption and surface materials are integrated together. The damping material includes a moldable plastic constraining material and an adhesive damping sheet containing a petroleum resin. The sound-proof material is integrally attachable to an automotive sheet material such as a dashboard.

Abstract: A rust preventive coating composition to be applied to the underfloor of an automotive vehicle for the purpose of preventing the underfloor from being rusted. The rust preventive coating composition comprises asphalt, metallic salt of petroleum sulfonic acid, metallic salt of petrolatum oxide, wax-like material, microwax, metallic salt of lanolin fatty acid, metallic salt of synthetic sulfonic acid, plasticizer, solvent, extender pigment, additive, reforming agent and inorganic running preventive agent. The extender pigment includes barium sulfate ranging not less than 20 wt % of the total amount of the extender pigment, and calcium carbonate ranging not less than 5 wt % of the total amount of the extender pigment. The reforming agent ranges from 1 to 10 wt % of the total amount of the rust preventive coating coposition. The inorganic running preventive agnet ranges from 0.5 to 10 wt % of the total amount of the rust preventive coating composition.

Abstract: Compositions particularly adapted to the damping sheet are provided. They contain a binder component and a filler component consisting of inorganic fillers and an organic filler.The organic filler occupies from 1 to 25 parts by weight of the total amount of the filler and it is an organic fibrous filler having the fiber length of from about 50 to about 300.mu., the mean length being about 100.mu.. Quick lime occupies from 0.05 to 10 parts by weight of the total amount of the filler as one of the inorganic fillers. The compositions possess distinguished properties when used as the damping sheet for vehicles.

Abstract: A reinforcing combination is useful to reinforce plate metal which comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet formed from a sheet-like substrate comprising asphalt, rubber, and a filler and having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one surface thereof; and a thermosetting sheet formed from a sheet-like substrate comprising polyvinyl acetal, monomeric diallyl phthalate, a filler, and at least one additive, and having a reinforcing fiber layer on one surface and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the other surface thereof; wherein said thermosetting sheet at one edge partially overlaps said pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the former in contact with that surface of the latter which is remote from its own pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A reinforcement configuration is provided by attaching the components of the reinforcing combination in assembly or separately followed by heat curing.
