Strataer offers a wide variety of aerospace, defense, and commercial coating applications and has two paint booths and two ovens – one of which is a high volume walk-in curing oven. We apply specialized painting methods to provide a superior application of primers, top coats, dry film lubricants, and bond primers. With a deep inventory of aerospace and military coatings, we are able to minimize lead times due to material availability.

Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings (CARC) are used extensively on most military vehicles and equipment. These coatings produce a non-porous coat that impedes radioactivity, chemical and biological contaminants from penetrating the coating and the base material.

Instead of penetrating the coating, chemicals bead up on the exterior of the surface and are washed off easily.  CARC is required to resist chemical attack from aggressive cleaning detergents used for decontamination of vehicles.  In turn, these vehicles and equipment can be used over again without the concern of future contaminants along with the security of resisting further chemical attack.  CARC is a pretreatment-primer-topcoat system of coating performed typically to Mil-DTL-53072 in combination with TT-C-490.
