This post is started to educate. I have not tried this but watched an episode of ship shape and saw that the marine industry uses Zinc to attract the process we call rust. We all have the problem with chlorine. Do anay guys want to explain why or why not this may help?
Chlorine is a lot more corrosive than salt water. I have seen many, many boat trailers here that have rusted away, the zinc will not stop rust on everything, just slow it down.
The zinc is called a sacrificial metal, it dissolves to save the other metal.
I will begin my reseach tonight. Does anyone powder coat their trailers. Rhino line?
Some guys I know powder coat their work trailers, it is stronger than paint but will scratch and the metal will rust, just takes longer.
The Rhino liner is a form of Polyurea which is very durable, not indestructable but a lot better than paint or powder coat. I have spots on my truck bed where it has worn through so it is not permanent for a lot of things but better than the factory paint.
If you could afford to do this to the whole trailer, that would help a lot with the chlorine corroding the metal.
Another option is Epoxy Paint, it is more durable than regular paint and powder coat, cost a lot more but cheaper than a place spraying bed liner onto your trailer, just depends on how much you can afford to spend.
Anyone utilizing sliding shelves or brackets off the rear of trailer to house chem pumps and reduce exposure?
