NP3 - THE PROCESS
The application of NP3 is auto-catalytic, that is, not requiring any form of electricity. This process is preferable to standard electrolytic plating as all active surfaces are evenly plated, which is not the case with any electorytically deposited coating. With Robar's well equipped laboratory, coating thickness can be maintained to within .0002 or two ten thousandths of one inch, guaranteeing consistent quality coatings. With the P.T.F.E. evenly distributed and locked into the nickel phosphorus matrix, NP3 is a true composite. If wear occurs, fresh particles of P.T.F.E are exposed to keep the opposing surfaces lubricated throughout the life of the coating.

  NP3 plated onto stainless steel guns will stop galling, a problem common the stainless steel guns.

  NP3 is a satin grey, non-reflective color ideal for all firearms.

  NP3 can be plated to all internal parts giving a smoothness to the action not found with any other coating.

  In cases where the NP3 has been perforated, the corrosion shows no tendency to spread or migrate under the coating.

NP3 - THE ADVANTAGES
  Very accurate and even coatings on all activated surfaces.
  No lubrication is needed on opposing surfaces.
  Cleaning is minimal, usually requiring only a soft cloth.
  Firing for longer periods of time between cleaning, as dirt has no wet or oily surface to cling to.
  NP3 has a micro hardness of 48-51 Rockwell as plated (nickel matrix).
  MP3 is very corrosion resistant, a 1 mil (.001) coating exceeding 240 hour salt spray test. NP3 has a high lubricity and low friction co-efficient; therefore, the life expectancy of a firearm will be greatly increased due to the less friction wear.
  The coating is strippable with no effect on the base metal, allowing other coatings to be applied or a new coating of NP3 the be applied if necessary.
