Epoxy, Polyurethane & Enamel Coating Services

High-performance epoxy, polyurethane, and enamel coatings applied with precision for spec-critical components used across aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial applications.

High-Performance Metal Coating Capabilities

MIL applies epoxy primers, polyurethane topcoats, and enamel finishes engineered for corrosion resistance, durability, environmental protection, and long-term component performance. Each system is applied according to military, OEM, and industry specifications.

Spec & Capability Highlights

  • MIL-spec epoxy primers (including MIL-PRF-23377)
  • Polyurethane topcoats offering UV, chemical, and weather resistance
  • Enamel coatings for cosmetic, protective, and high-gloss applications
  • Compatible with steel, aluminum, titanium, and alloy substrates
  • Supports multi-coat finishing: prime → topcoat → cure → inspection
  • Controlled atmosphere curing for coating integrity
  • One-stop processing: prep, coating, cure, inspection, and marking

How the Epoxy / Polyurethane / Enamel Coating Process Works

Step 1 — Surface Preparation

Parts undergo spec-driven cleaning, blasting, or pretreatment to ensure correct adhesion and coating performance.

Step 2 — Epoxy Primer Application

Epoxy coatings provide strong bonding and corrosion protection. Applied for:

  • MIL-spec primer systems
  • Adhesion promotion
  • High-strength protective layers

Step 3 — Polyurethane or Enamel Topcoat Application

Polyurethane coatings provide:

  • UV stability
  • Environmental durability
  • Flexible, long-wear performance

Enamel coatings provide:

  • High-gloss cosmetic finish
  • Excellent color uniformity
  • Smooth decorative surfaces

Step 4 — Controlled Curing

Parts are cured with monitored temperature and humidity to ensure film integrity, hardness, and adhesion.

Step 5 — Inspection & Validation

Quality checks may include:

  • Coating thickness
  • Adhesion verification
  • Visual inspection for uniformity, defects, or film integrity
  • Documentation for aerospace and defense requirements
