Our range of low-friction coating solutions
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)
When you are seeking durability and reliable performance, Medthin™, Tetrabond™, and Tribobond™ PVD coatings deliver high hardness and wear resistance, excellent adhesion, and reduced friction. They can be deposited onto various steels and alloys, as well as ceramic materials and cemented carbide. The coatings have proven to be irreplaceable for extending component life in aerospace, automotive, general engineering and medical applications.
PACVD (Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition)
When precision is critical, PACVD ensures uniform coatings even on complex geometries. Medthin™ and Tribobond™ variants provide reliable protection for intricate components in power generation, medical devices, advanced mobility systems and many other industries.
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon coatings)
In high-load or dry-running environments, DLC coatings such as Medthin™, Tetrabond™, and Tribobond™ provide high hardness with an ultra-low friction coefficient. You gain lower wear, less downtime, and higher efficiency in demanding applications.
