Tribobond™ 43

DLC coating for industrial components with unique properties

Ionbond’s Tribobond™ 43 DLC (a-C:H) is a pure DLC coating, which is widely used for boosting performance of tools and various precision components. Depending on the application, this coating can be produced either with Cr or Si-based underlayers. In both cases Tribobond™ 43 provides outstanding wear protection and friction reduction, whereas Si-based underlayer also adds excellent corrosion protection. Tribobond™ 43 boasts extremely low surface roughness, making it suitable for coating highly polished surfaces. Further modifications of Tribobond™ 43 allow achieving customized surface functionalities, like hydrophobicity, electrical resistivity, improved temperature stability.

Performance

Hard and wear resistant Tribobond™ 43 DLC combines excellent tribological properties with extremely low surface roughness and chemical inertness. This combination of properties make Tribobond™ 43 DLC highly suitable for ultra-precision components, for example in the semiconductor industry. Its chemical inertness makes it non-reactive with any corrosive media and justifies its application in chemical pumps, medical components, etc. High elasticity of Tribobond™ 43 DLC makes it very suitable for applications with high dynamic loads.
