Paradigm Shift Technologies to Showcase EPVD® Gun Barrel Technology at MSPO 2026

The war in Ukraine has demonstrated the enormous demands being placed on modern weapon systems, with accelerated gun barrel wear creating new challenges for defence supply chains.

As Canada takes the Lead Nation role at MSPO 2026, Paradigm Shift Technologies will showcase EPVD®, its proven gun barrel coating technology and alternative to traditional hard chrome plating, at Stand #7-D17 in the Canadian Pavilion.

EPVD® is designed to extend gun barrel service life, improve accuracy and consistency, and reduce the maintenance and replacement burden across a wide range of weapon systems, from small-calibre firearms to 155mm artillery.

EPVD® also provides an ECHA/REACH-compliant alternative to hexavalent chrome plating, helping defence manufacturers address increasingly stringent environmental requirements without compromising weapon performance.

As barrel availability becomes an increasingly important factor in operational readiness, extending barrel life can help militaries keep critical weapon systems in service longer while reducing pressure on constrained supply chains.

Visit Paradigm Shift Technologies at the Canadian Pavilion to learn how EPVD® can extend barrel life, enhance weapon performance and support the next generation of defence systems.

📅 September 8–11, 2026
