Abstract

The present invention relates to polyurea composition coated trailers and methods of making the same. In an embodiment, the present invention is directed to a trailer comprising a frame having a front side and a back side, at least one axle coupled to the frame, a plurality of wheels coupled to the at least one axle, and a polyurea coating, wherein the polyurea coating encapsulates at least a portion of the frame. In an embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for protecting a metal trailer from corrosion comprising cleaning the surfaces of a metal trailer and applying a layer of a polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer.

Claims (21)

1. A method for protecting a metal trailer from corrosion comprising:

cleaning the surfaces of a metal trailer; and

applying a layer of a polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer to encapsulate at least a portion of the metal trailer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of applying a layer of paint over the layer of the polyurea composition.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of cleaning the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises degreasing the surfaces of the metal trailer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises spraying the polyurea composition onto the surfaces of the metal trailer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises applying the layer of the polyurea composition directly onto a bare metal substrate.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises applying the layer of the polyurea composition onto the surfaces of a boat trailer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises applying the layer of the polyurea composition onto the surfaces of the metal trailer before components of the metal trailer that are not to be coated with the polyurea composition have been assembled to the trailer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises applying the layer of the polyurea composition onto the surfaces of the metal trailer before applying a layer of paint to the surfaces of the metal trailer.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises encapsulating first and second siderails of a frame of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises encapsulating a plurality of transverse frame members of a frame of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises encapsulating an axle of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of encapsulating a winch stand coupled to a frame of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises encapsulating a boat hull support structure of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surfaces of the metal trailer comprises encapsulating a hitch structure of the metal trailer with the polyurea composition.

15. A method for protecting a trailer from corrosion comprising:

applying a layer of a polyurea composition to a surface of the trailer; and

applying a layer of paint over the layer of the polyurea composition.

16. A method according to claim 15 , wherein the trailer is a boat trailer.

17. A method according to claim 16 , wherein the step of applying the layer of the polyurea composition to the surface of the boat trailer comprises encapsulating siderails of a frame of the boat trailer with the polyurea composition before applying the layer of paint over the layer of the polyurea composition.
