DuraCoat® is a hard polymer that is self lubricating to a certain
extent; extremely hard, oil, solvent, and wear resistant. It resists
100 inch pounds of direct impact and 80 inch pounds of reverse
impact. Its pencil hardness runs H to 2H. DuraCoat® has passed a
300 hr salt spray test, which far exceeds military requirements
for firearms finishes. Major manufacturers such as DSA utilize
DuraCoat® finishes on their rifles. DuraCoat® has proven to hold
up extremely well under field conditions. Even on parts such as
FAL bolts, which are subject to significant abrasion as the bolt
cycles, DuraCoat® has held up well and proven to be extremely
durable. DuraCoat® will dry to the touch in 20 min and can be
used after curing 6 - 8 hrs. How ever it will continue to cure for 4
to 6 weeks after application. DuraCoat® is not a flash cure
application which will become brittle after curing resulting in
chipping and flaking. DuraCoat® cures slowly so it remains
flexible after it cures which contributes to its excellent abrasion
and wear resistance. We like to say DuraCoat® doesn't wear out,
it wears in. DuraCoat® can be applied over just about any surface
including, metal, plastic, or wood as long as the surface is
properly prepared. We have had great success using it on
forearm rail covers such as the textured Magpul® covers.
DuraCoat® is available over 100 stock colors and now offers 12
tactical colors with virtually no reflective value. With 4
Mirageflage camo patterns , 2 advanced camo patterns and 11
standard camo patterns available, a color / pattern is available for
any terrain.
DuraCoat® now offers a SL (Self Lubricating) version of any
Duracoat® color available DuraCoat® SL has all of the same
properties of DuraCoat plus added lubricity. DuraCoat® SL is
perfect for the moving parts of a firearm with reduced friction,
longer wear, and the highest degree of scratch resistance. The
“non-stick” characteristics of SL makes cleaning your firearm a
breeze.
DuraCoat® Clear is also available through Tactical Advantage.
DuraCoat® Clear is an extremely versatile finish. It can be
applied over DuraCoat® colors, bluing, and stainless steel.
Almost any surface of a firearm that needs protection can benefit
from DuraCoat® clear. When applied over bluing, Duracoat®
clear puts an end to rusting and pitting. Accumulation of
oxidation, dirt and grime on stainless firearms is easily
eliminated by a coat of DuraCoat Clear®.
