Plating and Coatings for Defense Applications

Engineering Metal Finishing Solutions for Defense

CHEM PROCESSING, INC. manganese phosphate and hardcoat anodizing...carc paint, cadmium plating...for the military


Few industries are more demanding than defense, and with good reason. Warfighters in harm's way depend on their equipment to perform the first time, every time. We apply CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) paint to components on many major land-based programs such as Abrams, MRAP and HMMWV. We supply manganese phosphate/Parco and hardcoat anodizing finishes for small arms and ordnance. For aerospace, we provide critical OEM and MRO finishes for the F22 and F35.

Note: Chem Processing meets the updated DOD requirement that manganese phosphate/Parco be Nadcap accredited.
