The defense coating realms of defense and aerospace call for equipment that can withstand harsh external conditions. Whether protecting the body of an airplane or spaceship from corrosion, boosting the effectiveness of weaponry, or safeguarding troops from blasts and IEDs, optical coating emerges as an unsung hero in these industries, elevating military technology to new heights.
Conformal Coatings: Protecting Mission-Critical Aerospace & Defense Applications
From ocean depths to outer space, our coating solutions deliver the reliability that military and aerospace applications require. Our coating solutions are ideal for weight-sensitive components in aircraft, space probes and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). They also shield electronics from moisture, fumes and dust in the most challenging environments. They can even protect against organophosphorous chemical agents such as sarin.
Xylan: A Highly-Reliable Defence Coating
Developed during World War II, Xylan is a fluoropolymer coating (PTFE) applied through liquid spray that provides superior temperature, chemical, and friction resistance for military projects with stringent specifications. Xylan is primarily used on metals, but it can be applied to other substances, including plastic, when steps are taken to ensure proper adhesion.
Marine Powder Coating: A Dependable Defense Solution
Military vehicles and equipment are constantly exposed to salt, water and other corrosive elements. This can cause rusting and corrosion that could compromise performance, safety and reliability. To combat this, we use a high-performance marine powder coat system known as LINE-X XS-100, which is approved by the DOD CARC Commodity Office at Aberdeen Proving Ground in accordance with Military Performance Specification 32440.
