Elevate Your Defence and Aerospace Coatings with SLH Surface Finishings

Navigating the intricate landscape of MOD paint specifications and aerospace coatings can be daunting. At SLH Surface Finishings, we excel in guiding our clients through this complexity, ensuring they receive the precise quality finish their products demand. Situated in Hampshire, our dedicated team of experts is committed to delivering the highest level of technical service and quality available in the industry.

Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (C.A.R.C.)

Our Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) is a specialized paint finish extensively utilized in military applications, particularly on vehicles. Designed to offer protection against chemical and biological threats, CARC-coated vehicles can be decontaminated effectively in the event of exposure to hazardous agents. Additionally, CARC coatings enhance stealth capabilities by reducing infrared detection and are resistant to damage from decontamination solutions, making them an essential component of military vehicle protection.
