Our Technology
We specialize in providing professional, industry leading and custom-built engineering and advanced material solutions for a variety of applications. Our state-of-the-art research and development facility is an integral part of our business. Our proprietary and patented Electro-magnetically enhanced Physical Vapor Deposition (EPVD®) process is the world’s only coating technology for critical defense and industrial applications.
Chrome Elimination
Hexavalent Chromium is a carcinogenic substance banned globally. When applied to gun barrels Cr plating has critical limitations affecting performance and life expectancy, including: Erosion, fatigue, accuracy and maintenance downtime.
EPVD® Air
A brand new line of uniquely-engineered weight-conscience coating alloys is set to further improve performance and reduce the weight of Gun Systems. EPVD®-Air is projected to reduce the weight of Military Aircrafts significantly; notably lowering operational costs, and introducing potential savings in the billions of dollars.
