CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) powder coating is a specialized military-grade finish designed to resist chemical, biological, and environmental damage. Unlike regular paint, CARC is engineered for extreme durability, corrosion resistance, and visual camouflage. It also helps protect against chemical decontaminants used in military or hazardous situations.

CARC powder coating is widely used in the defense, aerospace, and heavy equipment industries. At Diamond Metal Finishing, we coat military vehicles, aircraft parts, naval equipment, and ground-support gear. It’s also ideal for commercial or industrial applications where long-lasting corrosion resistance and rugged durability are critical.

Yes. Our process conforms to MIL-PRF-32348, and we offer colors per FED-STD-595. We stock CARC 686A Tan, 383 Green, and 383 Black for fast turnaround. Every coating is applied in our ISO 9001:2015-certified facility to meet strict military and defense-grade requirements.

CARC powder coating lasts significantly longer than standard paint in harsh environments. It offers resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, corrosion, and abrasion. This means military vehicles and equipment can withstand years of use in extreme heat, cold, saltwater, or sand without frequent repainting.

Absolutely. Our flexible production capacity allows us to handle everything from small prototype parts to full-scale defense contracts. Whether it’s a single precision component or an entire fleet of vehicles, we maintain the same high-quality standards.

CARC coatings are formulated to match specific FED-STD-595 camouflage colors used by the military. These colors are low-reflective and infrared-resistant, helping vehicles and equipment blend into desert, forest, or urban environments while avoiding detection from advanced sensors.

 Compared to older solvent-based CARC paints, our CARC powder coating process is more eco-friendly. Powder coatings produce minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and waste, while still meeting all performance requirements for defense and aerospace industries.

Yes, while we stock 686A Tan, 383 Green, and 383 Black for fast service, we can source or match other FED-STD-595 colors as needed for special projects, subject to minimum order quantities and lead times.

We use precision electrostatic powder application equipment and in-process quality checks to ensure even coverage and correct film thickness. Post-application, each part goes through inspection to confirm it meets both functional and visual standards.

 We can apply CARC to a variety of metals, including aluminum, steel, and alloys, commonly used in defense and aerospace applications. Proper pretreatment is performed based on the substrate material to ensure adhesion and performance.
