A dunnage coating that extends the life of a dunnage rack reduces repairs and scrapped parts. Polyurea spreads impact and resists abrasion, so trays sliding into a dunnage rack don’t chew through rails and carriers don’t mar a body panel. That improves part protection at the point of contact, and because the film builds thin, a coated dunnage rack preserves weight capacity and doesn’t force change to slot size. The elastomer stays intact under high load, and it flexes instead of cracking. Where a factory relies on custom injection nests or water-jet cut foam inserts, coating the contact zones ties the setup together without retooling. That matters when dunnage engineering is trying to control tooling costs for short runs or model changes. Grease and dust wipe off a coated dunnage rack with minimal effort, which shortens changeovers and keeps material handling on schedule. For custom dunnage that follows parts between plants, the same dunnage rack can survive more cycles before its retirement. Compared with conventional epoxy coatings, polyurea returns to service more quickly and better tolerates sudden hits that could chip a rigid film.
