Corrosion resistant wheels, anticorrosion layers associated with wheels, and methods for manufacturing the same

A method for manufacturing a corrosion resistant wheel adapted for securement to a vehicle and/or trailer, comprising the steps of:

• providing a wheel body having an outer surface and an inner surface, and a mounting plate having a front surface and a rear surface, wherein the wheel body comprises steel, stainless steel, aluminum, transition metals, and/or alloys of the same;
• at least one of mechanically abrading and chemically etching at least one of the inner surface of the wheel body, the outer surface of the wheel body, the front surface of the mounting plate, and the rear surface of the mounting plate;
• applying a primary anticorrosion composition to at least one of the inner surface of the wheel body, the outer surface of the wheel body, the front surface of the mounting plate, and the rear surface of the mounting plate, wherein the primary anticorrosion composition comprises:
• (a) at least one solvent, wherein the at least one solvent comprises 2-butoxyethanol;
• (b) at least one of H2Mg3(SiO3)4 and Mg3Si4O10(OH)2;
• (c) Zn3(PO4)2;
• (d) at least one of ZnO and chelated Zinc;
• and (e) an acrylate copolymer resin, wherein the copolymer resin is selected from the group consisting of an acrylate copolymer, an acrylate acetate copolymer, an ethylene ethyl acrylate copolymer, an ethylene butyl acrylate copolymer, an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, an ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer, an ethylene n-butyl acrylate copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, a poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) copolymer, and combinations thereof;
• and
• forming a primary anticorrosion layer onto the applied surface(s);
• applying a secondary anticorrosion composition onto a least a portion of the primary anticorrosion layer, wherein the secondary anticorrosion composition comprises:
• (a) n-butyl acetate;
• (b) xylene;
• (c) cellulose nitrate plastic scrap;
• (d) ethyl alcohol;
• (e) n-butanol;
• (f) ethylbenzene;
• (g) n-butyl propionate;
• (h) alkyd resin based on coconut oil;
• (i) 1-methoxy-2-propanol;
• (j) isopentyl acetate;
• (k) 4-methylpentan-2-one;
• (l) titanium dioxide;
• and (m) ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer;
• and
• forming a secondary anticorrosion layer onto at least a portion of the primary anticorrosion layer.
