Trailers Overview
Built Tough
for the Long
Haul
Trailers operate in some of the harshest coating environments imaginable: highway stone chips, road salt spray, UV exposure across thousands of miles, and the mechanical stress of loading and unloading every day.
IFS trailer powder coatings are engineered for these conditions, delivering impact and chip resistance that liquid coatings can't match, with the corrosion protection and UV stability that keeps fleets looking and performing their best over years of service.
Talk to your IFS repImpact & Chip Resistance for Road Conditions
Trailer frames, axles, and undercarriage components are constantly bombarded by road debris, gravel, and stone chips at highway speeds. IFS trailer powders formulated for chip resistance maintain film integrity where standard coatings fail, protecting the steel underneath.
UV-Stable for Outdoor Exposure
A trailer running cross-country is exposed to years of UV weathering, temperature cycling, and everything that goes with it. IFS super-durable polyester powders retain color and gloss through extended outdoor exposure, keeping fleets looking professional over time.
Ultimate Corrosion Protection
Road salt, moisture, and mud accelerate corrosion on trailer frames and suspension components. IFS powder coatings provide a dense, impermeable film that resists chloride penetration and galvanic corrosion, extending the service life of every trailer in a fleet.
