Plastic Tooling and Machinery

  • Antiwetting properties of the coatings minimize molten material flow resistance and release force of parts

  • Coatings wear and corrosion resistance properties increase life of the parts and keep ejector pins and other mechanisms working freely, without periodic cleaning.

Die Casting Tooling and Machinery

  • The inert surface of the coatings eliminates soldering.

  • The release force is minimized.

  • Life of insert pins and other high wear parts is increased over 10 times.

Hot and Cold Forging Tools

  • Wear and corrosion of the working surfaces is reduced drastically.

  • Parts are released far easier, with minimum or no lubrication.

Draw and Extrusion Dies

  • Extended life of tooling.

  • Increased speed of the process. due to reduced friction, elimination of material diffusion in the tool wall and consequent pick-up.

  • Better quality of the product surface.

  • Shortening and simplification of the tools cleaning process.

Precision Mechanism Parts

  • Friction and wear are reduced 2-15 times

  • Fretting and galling are eliminated or minimized.

  • Some coatings serve as emergency lubrication in case of lubricant loss

Best Solutions for Toughest Applications

Pharmaceutical-Chemical-Food Equipment

  • Major improvements in the life of packaging machines.

  • Elimination of pickup in deep-draw of steel and aluminum cans (stock with and without plastic or metal coatings.)

  • High wear and corrosion resistance in handling abrasive and corrosive products. Some coatings are approved for contact with food and drugs.

Wood and Plastic Processing & Recycling

  • Cutting and shredding tools maintain their shape for extended periods of time

  • Tools and machine parts resist abrasion and corrosion far better

Paper Industry

  • Cutting, printing and embossing rollers and plates last far longer.

  • Material pickup is eliminated

  • Life of the parts subjected to abrasive wear and corrosion is extended significantly.

Medical Instruments and Implants

  • Surgical instruments stay sharp far longer.

  • Excellent capabilities in microsurgery mechanisms, working without lubrication.

  • Less damage to tissue and faster healing.

  • Fast bone growth on coated implants.

  • Reduced friction and wear on implant joints.

Consumer Goods

  • Cutting implements stay sharp for a long time.

  • Decorative, corrosion and wear resistant coatings for numerous promotional products, costume jewellery.

The list of applications is limited only by the designers' imagination. Wherever wear and corrosion resistant, low friction, inert, vividly coloured coatings are needed, there is an application for thin film coatings. Give us samples of the parts and the requirements - we'll do the rest to your full satisfaction.
