ITAR-Compliant Metal Finishing for Military Applications

TriNu supports defense and military-contracting projects that require controlled handling, documented inspection, and specification-driven powder coating. During quoting, share your ITAR, mil-spec, drawing, documentation, and chain-of-custody requirements so the team can confirm the workflow and controls needed before parts are received. This helps align surface preparation, coating selection, inspection, and release documentation with your contract requirements.

Common defense-related parts include equipment housings, support frames, vehicle sub-assemblies, structural components, brackets, skids, machine guards, OEM parts, and ground-support equipment. TriNu’s 10' × 10' × 30' production oven also accommodates oversized fabrications that many coating shops cannot handle, which is valuable for larger military support equipment, frames, and long structural assemblies.

Yes. TriNu offers mil-specification application capability for appropriate defense and military contracting projects. The team reviews drawings, coating requirements, environmental exposure, surface preparation needs, and inspection expectations before production begins. This ensures the selected powder system, substrate profile, cure process, and final inspection steps are aligned with the performance requirements of the part or assembly.

Surface preparation may include abrasive blasting, sand blasting, grit blasting, or shot blasting depending on the substrate, coating system, and required profile. These processes remove rust, mill scale, old coatings, paint, and contaminants while preparing the metal for strong adhesion. Proper preparation is a core part of TriNu’s workflow because coating durability starts before powder is applied.

TriNu is built for large-part powder coating with a 10' × 10' × 30' production oven. That capacity supports long frames, structural components, support equipment, machine guards, enclosures, and oversized fabricated assemblies. Large-part capability helps defense contractors avoid splitting assemblies unnecessarily or sending projects to multiple finishing vendors.

Yes. TriNu’s workflow includes inspection before parts leave the facility. Inspection helps verify finish consistency, application quality, and readiness for delivery or downstream assembly. For regulated or defense-related work, the team can review project-specific documentation expectations during quoting so quality checks are planned into the production workflow from the start.

TriNu offers pickup and delivery across the Tampa Bay region, including support for oversized fabrications, palletized production runs, and recurring OEM work. This logistics support reduces handling coordination for fabricators and manufacturers, helps protect parts in transit, and keeps production schedules moving from fabrication through surface preparation, coating, inspection, and return delivery.

For an accurate quote, provide drawings, part dimensions, material type, quantity, desired finish, coating specification, environmental exposure, required turnaround, and any ITAR, mil-spec, or documentation requirements. Photos are helpful for evaluating condition and preparation needs. For large parts, include lifting, loading, or pickup details so logistics can be planned properly.
