YES we do. RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances is sometimes a requirement imposed on electronic and electrical components shipped to the EU. Unless exempted, the restrictions imposed the latest requirement, 2011/65/EU RoHS 2 require a maximum of < 1000 ppm each of Lead (PB), Mercury (HG), Cadmium (CD), Hexavalent Chrome (Cr VI), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE). The 2017 RoHS 3 requirements added four additional substances must be in compliance by July 2019. They are Bis (2-ethyhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) , Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). We can provide you with a compliant coating system and certify it along with all the accompanying documentation from the coating manufacturer to support the compliance.

Yes, we can. In recent years, the DOD, Department of Defense has also recognized the efficiency and durability of powder coatings for numerous military hardware and equipment applications. As in every mil-specification product or application, there was a need to develop a specification to control it. The U.S. Government, Department of Defense issued Mil-PRF-24712B in February 11, 2014 for the performance of thermosetting powder coating materials and Mil-PRF-32348, issued November 23rd 2010 for Camouflage Chemical Agent Resistant Systems . Powder coat materials that meet these requirements are available for use from several suppliers and are listed on the Qualified Products List, (OPL) for each specific coating. Other products not listed may be authorized by various prime contractors who have previously performed testing and approved specific materials bt supplier part number.

YES, we apply CARC coatings, ( Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings ), on a routine basis in both wet spray coatings in polyurethane and epoxies and also in dry, powder coatings applications.
CARC coatings are designed for corrosion resistance as well as penetration of chemical and biological warfare agents. These coatings are also more resistant to decontaminating chemicals to clean and remove these agents. Ask us for list of available materials and color options to meet your design and application.

No, we do not require a minimum in quantity, as we are equipped to handle one off proto-types to full quantity production runs. We do have a minimum lot charge for most processes we perform so please inquire or submit a request for quotation so that you will know exactly what to expect for the cost to produce your project. We will respond in a very timely manner to answer your requests. Most people receive a response from us in 24 hrs. or less and in most cases, much less.

At Advanced Metal Coatings, we operate two shifts per day, Monday through Friday and operate from 7:30 am to 11:00 pm. These extended operating hours allow us to provide quick response and shorter than expected lead times on most projects we provide. Typically, our lead time is usually from one to two weeks and in many cases only a few days. We try to process product on a first in/ first out basis but we also offer expedited services upon request for emergency or high priority projects. When you ask your AMC representative for a lead time, we will do whatever is possible to accommodate your tight schedules. We realize that in most cases, we are the last one to handle your product before it’s sold so we know what it means to get it done in a hurry and get it done right !
