We didn't pick up a spray gun and slap a sign on the door. DFI Tactical Coatings Group has a staff of metal finishing professionals with more than 50 years of combined experience. We have produced thousands of parts of every finish on a firearm. This includes Hard Coat Anodize, Parkerizing, Black Oxide, Dry Film Lube and Cerakote. And besides all this, we just like GUNS. Parkerizing
A method of
protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of an electrochemical phosphate conversion coating. Parkerizing is usually considered to be an improved zinc or manganese phosphating process, and not to be an improved iron phosphating process, although some use the term parkerizing as a generic term for applying phosphating (or phosphatizing) coatings that does include the iron phosphating process. Parkerizing is commonly used on firearms as a more effective alternative to bluing, which is another electrochemical conversion coating that was developed earlier. It's also used extensively on automobiles to protect unfinished metal parts from corrosion. Cerakote
The Cerakote family of products are high quality coatings that are available in both thermoset cure and ambient cures cycles. Cerakote coatings offer extreme hardness, optimize wear resistance and extend the serviceable lifetime of your components. The use of varying surface roughness and different profiles mean that this coating can be adapted to a specific application. A top coat can also be added to enhance the surface with excellent non-stick properties. Dry Film Lube
Unique finishes engineered to provide exceptional dry lubrication, and often serve as a more robust product alternative to traditional lubricants and anti-seizing agents such as superficial oils. Depending on your application requirements or desired military or industry specification, dry/solid film lubricants provide benefits by protecting tooling from galling, resist seizure, fretting or corrosion, for a variety of extreme conditions. Dry film lubricants can be utilized in applications with extreme temperature ranges (from sub-zero to 1200° F) and resist out-gassing under vacuum for use in the aerospace and military industries. We offer a range of these thin film coatings to satisfy your application requirements.
