Military and Defense

Magni Coatings

Military ground vehicles often use Magni zinc-flake coatings for fasteners and other components. For instance, the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) prefers Magni’s 565 coating for safeguarding metal parts.

Chromate Conversion Coatings

Our MIL-DTL-5541-compliant solutions protect aluminum components in military aircraft, vehicles and electronics. Military component manufacturers often use these environmentally friendly Type II trivalent chromium coatings to safeguard parts.

Electroless Nickel

Electroless nickel provides a corrosion-resistant finish essential for high-precision military applications such as submarine components, missile guidance systems and tank components. 

Military-Grade Coatings for Mission Readiness

We apply our advanced military coatings to the critical components that hold mission hardware together, maximizing the potential for mission success and warfighter safety.

Ground Vehicles and Naval Assets

Saltwater, mud, abrasive sand and other environmental factors cause component corrosion or seizure after prolonged exposure, leading to structural failure.

Our military vehicle coatings create durable barriers on these components, helping you build corrosion-free systems that preserve the structural integrity of tanks, naval ships, tactical vehicles and other military assets.

Military Aerospace and Propulsion Systems

Aircraft engine bays and airframes face high temperatures, vibration and fluid exposure, risking component corrosion and asset failure.

Our high-performance coatings provide chemical and thermal resistance, preventing fasteners from seizing in extreme conditions. They also enhance military aircraft reliability and serviceability.

Weapon Systems and Ordnance

Corrosion resulting from humidity and other environmental factors reduces the reliability and accuracy of weapon systems. Grit and carbon buildup can also cause internal mechanisms to jam, risking mission success.

We apply advanced protective coatings and dry film lubricants to components to ensure flawless operation in the harshest conditions.

Avionics, Sensors and Stealth Systems

The components that mount sensitive electronics, sensor pods and radar arrays need environmental protection to prevent corrosion and detection. Standard coating can reduce a system’s low-observable properties and minimize mission success.

Our specialized coatings create robust barriers on the fasteners securing these sensitive systems without affecting their stealth characteristics.

Essential Protection for Mission-Critical Hardware

Specialized coatings for defense systems safeguard your equipment’s components, prolonging the service life of vital assemblies in tough conditions and ensuring consistent mechanical performance.

They provide various benefits:

• Corrosion resistance: Build durable equipment with corrosion-resistant components. Our coated parts protect ferrous metals from corrosion and degradation, particularly in harsh environments. We rigorously test components to ensure they meet strict military standards.
• Friction and torque control: Streamline your assembly process with threaded fasteners that help you keep the coefficient of friction within a consistent range for repeatable torque values and a reduced risk of galling.
• Hydrogen embrittlement avoidance: Acquire reliable components featuring nonelectrolytically applied zinc-flake coatings to avoid hydrogen embrittlement.
• Adhesion and durability: Build defense systems confidently with coatings that adhere to the substrate and resist wear, chipping and abrasion from mechanical stress and vibration.
• Lower maintenance and repair costs: Build reliable military equipment that requires low maintenance and repair frequency, saving on operational costs.
