Why Use Powder Coating for Military & Defense Applications?
Powder coating, especially when completed by an experienced provider like Advanced Finished USA, offers unmatched toughness and will protect military equipment from abrasion, impact, and extreme environmental conditions. Additionally, the aesthetic flexibility of powder coating is capable of recreating a variety of complex camouflage patterns and can match any specified visual specifications including a low gloss finish. These types of finishes are essential for military, aerospace, and defense applications as they help reduce glare and enhance concealment for vehicles and other field equipment while in active operation. Additionally, powder coatings are easily decontaminated after exposure to chemical or biological agents, making them ideal for high-risk environments.
The Role of CARC in Military Powder Coating Applications
CARC, or Chemical Agent Resistant Coating, is a specialized powder coating that is critical for military applications including vehicles, equipment, and munitions that offer resistance to chemical or biological agents and improve the ease of decontamination. While wet paint is often used for detailed or heat-sensitive applications, powder coating remains the preferred choice for items’ eco-friendliness, durability, and compliance with MIL-SPEC standards. The specific application procedures and quality control inspection protocols behind CARC are covered in MIL-DTL-53072. Advanced Finishing seamlessly integrates these procedures and protocols to meet the unique demands of the military, aerospace, and defense sectors.
