Trans-Acc is an experienced supplier of chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC) to the defense industry, for use in various military applications.

Our operations are Mil-Spec compliant, and we offer flexible lead times that can accommodate various geographic requirements. In addition, we offer competitive pricing to ensure value for our customers.

Our CARC coatings, typically epoxy or polyurethane, are formulated to provide the necessary resistance to harsh chemicals used to wash down military equipment or exposed to chemical warfare agents like nerve gas. These coatings also provide superior epoxy coating services for corrosion resistance, with the ability to withstand the corrosive nature of decontaminating chemicals and solvents. Our coatings play a vital role in extending the service life of military equipment and vehicles. Surfaces coated with our CARC systems will resist the penetration of radioactive, chemical, and biological contaminants.

In addition to our CARC coatings, we offer a range of industrial coating and metal treatment services, including thermoplastic coating services for applications requiring extra durability. As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality metal pretreatment services for various industries we cater to the needs of diverse sectors. Depending on the client’s specific CARC color requirements, we utilize different air spray application methods to coat surfaces. By using specialized spray painting equipment, we can coat surfaces in solid or camouflage patterns.

As an environment-conscious company, we maintain a wastewater treatment system to continually clean and monitor our waste streams according to all federal, state, and local regulations.
