As a standard product offering, Great Dane uses corrosion-resistant undercoating compounds like Valspar's Val-Flex and Dry-Flex for steel components of the underbody of dry freight and reefer trailers. Also standard is Valspar's R-Cure, a two-step epoxy primer and urethane topcoat for dry freight rear frames and platform trailers.

Great Dane now offers a complete package of comprehensive corrosion prevention solutions.

• CorroGuard® — a spray-in-place thermoplastic coating for superior long-term protection from road abrasion and corrosion on suspensions and support gear



• ALCOA Dura-Bright Wheels, now featuring XBR™ technology, a patented treatment that penetrates the aluminum and becomes an integral part of the wheel, resisting corrosion



• Grote™ Long Life Light System with LED lights, — a completely sealed system that prevents moisture intrusion



• Stainless steel rear frames, which are rust resistant to help ensure reduced maintenance, longer life and a superior appearance



• Composite swing-type rear doors on dry freight vans have galvanized steel exterior and interior skins and a resilient polymer core, which eliminate corrosion issues associated with moisture absorption in plywood cores
