By Harley Kata, General Manager, The Coating House
When your project supports military or government applications, your fasteners must meet stricter specs, tougher performance standards, and often face a more complex sourcing process. That’s where The Coating House comes in, not just as a coating provider, but as a true technical partner.
From corrosion-resistant coatings to adhesive locking systems that meet MIL-SPEC requirements, we specialize in delivering certified solutions that hold up under pressure.
What Makes Military Fasteners Different?
Military and defense applications often require fasteners that meet rigorous standards for:
- Temperature resistance
- Vibration and torque retention
- Corrosion protection
- Non-reactivity with other materials
These fasteners are required to conform to AN, NAS and MS standards. In many cases, coatings like Loctite® or other specialty products are required to meet exact requirements.
The Coating House’s Role in the Military Supply Chain
We support defense and government contractors by providing:
- Pre-applied Henkel® Loctite™ coatings meeting defense specs
- Coating application to customer supplied fasteners or full sourcing
- Lot traceability and documentation for compliance
- Support with MIL-SPEC matching and certification needs
- Expertise in selecting the right coating for the right mission
Military Fastener Applications Include:
- Aircraft assemblies
- Naval equipment
- Defense electronics
- Secure enclosures and housings
- Ground vehicles and heavy equipment
Whether you’re dealing with saltwater exposure or need vibration-resistant thread lockers for airframe components, our coatings are tested to perform where it matters most.
Coating Options Tailored to Government Needs
The Coating House offers a wide range of Loctite™-based solutions, including:
- Loctite™ Dri-Loc® – for locking and sealing threaded fasteners
