AT 1420 – ALPHASHIELD ELITE (MILITARY GRADE)
AT 1420 - AlphaShield Elite is the ultimate firearm coatings developed specifically for military small arms and crew-served weapon applications. AT 1420 effectively manages the visual and near-infrared signature while at the same time enhancing thermal protection and durability. It offers superior wear and corrosion resistance in extreme conditions. AT 1420 maintains peak performance under conditions where competing products fail.
The coating is tough, durable and provides long term protection against corrosion, weathering, and abrasion. Unlike most competing products, AT 1420 also offers high temperature insulation performance. AT 1420 is only available for sale to military and law enforcement agencies.
Proudly manufactured in the USA.
- High performance single component coating.
- Extreme adhesion. Forms covalent bond to the substrate giving it an intrinsic bond to surfaces
- Very tough and durable.
- Excellent UV, chemical and abrasion resistance.
- High anti-corrosion performance.
- Extreme heat & flame resistance (1200°F+/648°C+)
- Unparalleled thermal insulation protection
- Conform to NIR reflectivity standards outlined in MIL-DTL-44436
- Easy to apply. Curable by ambient air (accelerated oven curing possible)
- May be applied to metal and non-metal surfaces
- VOC exempt
- RoHS and REACH compliant
