Paramount Metal Finishing is pleased to announce that the company’s range of Chemical Agent Resistance Coatings (CARC) for military vehicles meet the latest military specifications. The CARC military coatings adhere to the latest advancements in military specifications to withstand severe weather and wear intensive environments. These highly protective coatings can also be effectively decontaminated after exposure to chemical and biological warfare agents.

CARC coatings are intended to withstand the harsh chemicals that are used to wash down military vehicles and equipment that has been exposed to a chemical warfare agent, such as nerve gas. The coatings need to withstand the corrosive nature of the decontaminating chemicals (mostly solvents).

CARC Coating

A CARC coating usually consists of an epoxy or polyurethane that is so resistant to decontaminating chemicals that if military equipment were to come into contact with a chemical warfare agent, that military personnel could take the equipment out from the field and wash it down with the strong solvents to remove the chemical agent. Coatings that are not resistant to the decontaminating solvents tend to soften and can put personnel at risk of touching the chemical agent. Even a very small amount of a chemical agent that comes into contact with personnel’s skin can cause death.

Paramount Metal Finishing applies CARC coatings on a regular basis in primarily 3 colors; green, black and desert tan.  Other colors may be available depending on government approval.

Zinc nickel plating is the one of the best non-corrosive metal finishes money can buy. It is no wonder why many companies prefer zinc nickel plating to other materials where possible. Paramount Metal Finishing is RoHS compliant on zinc and zinc nickel plating and assures high quality on all products and services.

Paramount Metal Finishing has the unique capability to give very large parts with complex shapes a zinc nickel plating finish. Large parts require the use of internal anodes in order to accomplish 100% coating coverage. Paramount Metal Finishing has worked on the development of dedicated fixtures and internal anodes which result in the highest quality zinc nickel plating of large parts and complex configurations.

Bulk Zinc Nickel Plating

Paramount Metal Finishing also has the capability to process zinc nickel plating alloys in bulk barrel and rack plating lines. Using linear zinc nickel plating lines optimizes the quality and economics, while large production runs and large/heavy parts are handled readily.

There are several zinc nickel plating specifications available in production. Each specification has Types and Classes that further define the specification. The following are the most frequently referenced specifications for zinc nickel alloy plating. Specification — % Nickel:

• ASTM B841-99 — 5-12%
• AMS 2417G — 6-20%
• Automotive — 10-15% (most common)

It is widely accepted that the higher the nickel content the better corrosion protection, up to 15%.
