You take care of accuracy. We’ll take care of reliability.
If you’re a manufacturer of firearms or firearm components, UCT’s proprietary EXO coating will enable your top-quality rifles and handguns to achieve extraordinary levels of reliability.
Our EXO Nickel Boron technology — thoroughly validated by commercial and governmental testing and by positive user feedback — creates a greaseless, permanently lubricious surface that’s harder than the substrate itself. (In fact, EXO is 40% harder than chrome.)
Unlike films, conventional coatings and applied lubricants, EXO never rubs off, thins out, spalls off, or builds up residue. Most remarkably, it can completely eliminate the need for lubrication in the actions of both semi- and full-auto firearms…while at the same time providing extreme protection against rust and wear.
