Durable Coatings for Trailer Equipment

Protect trailers from corrosion, moisture, and abrasion with liquid and powder systems that hold up through heavy loads and harsh roads.

Why it Matters

Trailer equipment faces constant exposure on the road. Rocks, moisture, UV, and corrosive chemicals wear down unprotected surfaces. When finishes fail, operators deal with rust, repairs, and avoidable downtime. Strong corrosion protection keeps trailers in service longer and helps them hold their value.

Common Coating Stressors

  • Gravel and road debris
  • Diesel fuel
  • Road salt and de-icers
  • Moisture and standing water
  • Welded fabrications
  • Outdoor storage

Liquid Systems That Fit Your Process

Liquid coatings that support application consistency, regulatory needs, and production efficiency.

 

Two component acrylic polyester urethane that delivers extended gloss and color retention with excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. 

Best for: Utility and cargo trailers needing durable finishes with good hide, chemical resistance, and long-term gloss.

Fast drying acrylic topcoat delivering long term color and gloss retention with built in corrosion resistance.

Best for: Trailers needing fast dry times to shorten cycle times while maintaining color and gloss.

Two component acrylic polyurethane system that combines excellent gloss retention with a hard, durable finish for outdoor exposure.

Best for: Fleets exposed to weather, road salt, and frequent washing requiring durable UV protection.


 

Corrosion control primer that combines rust inhibitor technology with enhanced adhesion and chip resistance. Provides a durable foundation as the first line of defense against corrosion.

Best for: High risk, corrosion prone areas exposed to road spray and harsh service.

High solids finishing enamel with strong adhesion and reliable resistance to chemicals and solvents under splash and spill conditions. Easy to apply and fast drying to keep production moving.        

Best for: Fleets, components, and accessories needing a durable, economical enamel finish.        

Workhorse®        

Primer        

Versatile, fast drying primer with strong gloss holdout and corrosion resistance. Compatible with a wide range of topcoat systems to support flexible finishing operations.        

Best for: Fleets, components, and accessories requiring economical corrosion protection under enamel topcoats.        



Powder Coatings Built for Lasting Protection

Peridium® powder coatings deliver consistent application quality and long-term protection across a full range of technologies.

 

Super durable TGIC polyester system with EdgeSpan™ technology for superior edge build, exterior durability, and strong overbake resistance.

Best for: Fleets requiring exterior durability and corrosion resistance in road salt conditions.

Epoxy and zinc rich primers that deliver inherent toughness, strong corrosion protection, and outstanding chemical resistance.

Best for: Equipment where corrosion protection, edge durability, and performance in de icing environments are critical.

Epoxy and zinc rich primers that deliver inherent toughness, strong corrosion protection, and outstanding chemical resistance.

Best for: High corrosion environments and underbody areas exposed to road salt, de-icers, and aggressive chemicals.


Proven Performance Through Independent Testing

All Diamond Vogel heavy equipment coating systems are tested to industry-standard ASTM methods in our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.  Measurable, repeatable results you can specify with confidence.

Why Independent Testing Matters

Engineers can specify Diamond Vogel systems per ASTM B117 minimum 1,000 hours in OEM specifications. 

Quality control teams can request Certificate of Conformance documenting that your production batch met these performance standards. 

Warranty claims are reduced because coating performance is validated before field application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you coat parts up to 20 feet long?

Answer: Yes. Our liquid coating systems accommodate large fabrications. Powder coating line capacity depends on your oven configuration. Contact our technical team to review part dimensions and recommend appropriate coating technology (liquid, powder, or hybrid approach).


What's the difference between TGIC and TGIC-free polyester powder?

Answer: TGIC (triglycidyl isocyanurate) polyesters offer superior outdoor durability with excellent color and gloss retention—ideal for agricultural and construction equipment. TGIC-free alternatives like our Peridium P-Series provide good exterior performance with easier regulatory handling. We can help you select based on expected service life and environmental exposure.


How quickly can you match a custom color?

Answer: Standard color matching from your sample: 5-7 business days for formulation and drawdown approval. Complex metallic or textured finishes: 10-12 business days. Rush service available for line-down situations requiring emergency color batching.


Do your coatings meet VOC requirements?

Answer: Diamond Vogel industrial coatings are formulated to meet or exceed the strictest US regional VOC limits in a factory enviornment, including California SCAQMD requirements. Specific VOC data is listed on each product's Technical Data Sheet. Contact us to confirm compliance for your jurisdiction.


What makes Diamond Vogel different from national competitors?

Answer: We offer regional advantages national brands can't match: 95% of orders ship within 24 hours to Midwest locations, on-site technical support within 48 hours, ISO 17025 accredited in-house lab for custom formulation in 5-7 days, and direct access to technical specialists (not call centers). Our factory-direct model eliminates distributor delays.
