Technical Micronics Control (TMC) has supported the aerospace industry since 1965 with mission-critical precision chemical cleaning, passivation, and contamination control services. From the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs to today’s commercial space and defense platforms, TMC helps prime contractors and suppliers meet the strictest cleanliness and material integrity requirements.
Precision Cleaning for Aerospace Systems
Aerospace fluid systems, propulsion components, and ground support equipment demand ultra-clean surfaces free of hydrocarbons, particulates, and residual contaminants. TMC provides:
- Precision chemical cleaning of LOX, GOX, GN₂, LN₂, high-purity air, and helium systems
- Cleaning and hydrostatic testing of cryogenic vessels and liquid propellant systems
- Passivation of stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys (citric and nitric processes)
- Cleanliness verification and certified packaging in controlled cleanroom environments
- Vacuum bakeout and specialized processes for additive-manufactured components (including GRCop chemical milling and Vacuum Cycling Nucleation)
All work is performed to major aerospace specifications, including MSFC-SPEC-164, KSC-C-123, ASTM G93, IEST-STD-CC1246, Boeing STP0637, Blue Origin CMSP standards, Aerojet Rocketdyne RA specifications, and others.
In-House and Field Capabilities
TMC operates from its facility in Huntsville’s Cummings Research Park with Class 7 and Class 8 cleanrooms, high-pressure testing systems (pneumatic to 25,000 psi / hydrostatic to 50,000 psi), and helium leak detection. We also deploy field teams nationwide to perform precision cleaning and passivation directly at customer sites when hardware cannot be shipped.
Trusted by Leading Aerospace Organizations
TMC is an approved special processes supplier for major aerospace and defense contractors. Customers we support include:
- NASA (Marshall Space Flight Center and other centers)
- Blue Origin
- SpaceX
