Services
Powder Coating
Our powder coating service applies durable, high-quality finishes using advanced electrostatic application and thermal curing. Available in multiple textures and gloss levels, our coatings meet military specifications and offer excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and environmental factors. We handle projects from small components to large industrial equipment.
Custom Color Matching
We provide precise custom color matching using RAL, Pantone, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin Williams references. Our formulation expertise ensures accurate color reproduction for both decorative and industrial applications. Custom matches require 3-4 weeks lead time with minimum order quantities to maintain quality consistency.
Surface Preparation
Our comprehensive surface preparation includes sandblasting, chemical cleaning, and five-stage iron phosphate treatment for ferrous metals. Non-ferrous materials receive high-pressure caustic washing or acetone cleaning. This critical process ensures optimal coating adhesion and longevity for both conventional and powder coating applications.
Military Specification Coatings
We specialize in military-grade coatings meeting AMS STD 595, FED STD 595, and MIL PRF 24712 standards. Our CARC coatings provide chemical resistance while electromagnetic shielding coatings protect electronic enclosures. All military specifications undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with defense requirements.
Precision Masking
Our precision masking techniques protect critical surfaces and threaded areas using high-temperature tapes, silicone plugs, and custom die-cut masks. This ensures exact coating boundaries for components requiring tight tolerances. The process maintains machined surface integrity while allowing complete coverage of designated areas.
