Defense and Military Coatings
WHY DEFENSE AND MILITARY COATINGS
Military coatings are made to protect military assets and the warfighter from harsh environments and conditions. Protection from corrosion, abrasion, and other types of damage that may occur during military operations is vital to the safety of military personnel. Maintenance is also a crucial part of military equipment performance, which includes maintenance of coatings.

DECO COATINGS ARE THE COATING NERDS OF MIL SPEC APPLICATIONS
Applying these specialized types of coatings requires strict guidelines and unique specifications, some of the highest standards of any industry – and for good reason. It takes an experienced and certified professional applicator, such as DECO Coatings, familiar with the regulations to get the job done. From specific application equipment to inspection methods and documentation required, DECO Coatings has the ability and proof of experience to perform military coatings.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING IN MILITARY COATINGS
DECO works with approved manufacturers in the application of primers, topcoats, and chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC), otherwise called mil spec coatings. Often, these coatings may become obsolete or difficult to procure. The management team of DECO has vast experience in obtaining these materials and actively stays up to date with the latest industry trends and technology.
Not only does DECO stay on top of new technologies in the military coatings industry, but we value and engage in continual training and education in the application and use of these new technologies. DECO offers continual training and development for our team members so that we remain the best at what we do daily. Military coatings are a highly specialized service that require extra care and attention. DECO supports our troops and takes pride in the privilege to do our due diligence in protecting them with coatings that make their lives safer in the field.

DECO PERFORMS AEROSPACE COATINGS, TOO
Aerospace coatings are often included within the list of Mil Spec materials. They are more general coatings used for both military and commercial aviation or even small machined parts contained within the aircraft or vehicle. They are similar to military coatings in that the same type or Mil Spec abbreviation may be listed, although it is important to understand that they are not interchangeable. When choosing an aerospace coatings company, you must choose a coating applicator that can interpret the requirement and communicate the need. This is what we love to do, and one of the reasons we have gained such a great reputation in this field!
