DEFENCE
Enhance durability, reduce wear, and maintain operational integrity in the most demanding defence environments.
Coating Solutions for the Defence Industry
Military-grade performance demands military-grade protection. In the defence sector, where failure is not an option, every component must withstand extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, friction, and prolonged operational stress.
Marcote specialises in advanced industrial coatings engineered to meet the unique demands of defence manufacturing and maintenance. From weapons systems and aircraft components to specialist jigs and electrical housings, our coatings offer precision protection that improves performance, extends lifecycle, and meets stringent defence-grade specifications.
Why Surface Protection Matters
Defence applications push materials to their limits. High-velocity friction, harsh environments, and exposure to corrosive agents can all lead to degradation, downtime, and failure.
Marcote coatings are formulated to withstand intense heat and pressure, resist corrosion from chemicals, fuels, and moisture, and reduce friction to support reliable system performance.
They also provide non-stick properties ideal for munitions handling and maintain their integrity across repeated deployments and long-term storage conditions.
Key Benefits of Our Coatings
- Non-Stick & Low-Friction Performance: Enables smooth cycling in weapons systems.
- Chemical & Fuel Resistance: Protects against exposure to fuels, de-icers, and hydraulic fluids.
- Thermal Stability Under Combat Stress: Maintains coating integrity through heat cycles.
- Dry Lubrication & Anti-Seize: Supports precision tooling, jigs, and threaded components.
- Asset Protection: Preserves equipment in storage, during transport, or field deployments.
Where We Add Value in Defence Applications
We work closely with defence contractors, component manufacturers, and MoD suppliers to apply coatings that meet the functional and regulatory demands of land, sea, and air defence operations.
Weapons & Munitions Systems
Low-friction coatings for barrels, guides, and feed systems to support reliable operation under repeated stress.
Aerospace & Avionics Components
Thermally stable and chemically resistant coatings for aircraft housings, brackets, and electronic assemblies.
Jigs, Fixtures & Tooling
PTFE-based coatings for non-stick and anti-seize performance in precision tooling and test equipment.
Electronic & Fuel System Enclosures
Moisture and chemical-resistant coatings to protect sensitive components and control systems from environmental damage.
Recommended Coatings for the Defence Industry
