High-Performance Low Friction Coatings
Optimize your production with plasma surface modification. Reduce the coefficient of friction (CoF), prevent elastomer sticking, and enhance the lifespan of critical components.
- ✅ Eliminate Sticking: Optimize bulk handling and sorting.
- ✅ Reduce Wear: Extend the life of seals and O-rings.
- ✅ Medical Grade: Biocompatible, dry-sterile lubrication.
Functional Surface Modification for Elastomers
Elastomers such as O-rings, seals, and gaskets possess a naturally high-friction, "tacky" surface. In automated assembly lines, this leads to components sticking together, causing downtime in vibration feeders and sorting systems.
The Plasma Advantage for Seals:
Our plasma process applies an ultra-thin, nano-scale carbon-based coating. This is not a traditional "paint" that can flake off; it is a chemically bonded surface modification that provides:
- Permanent reduction in surface tackiness.
- Easier automated handling and pick-and-place processing.
- Pre-cleaning of silicone residues and production additives.
Advanced Solutions for Medical Implants & Devices
Modern medical technology, particularly in minimally invasive surgery (Pinhole surgery), demands components with exceptional gliding properties without the use of wet lubricants or oils.
Plasma technology allows for a multi-stage process in a single vacuum cycle: Cleaning, Sterilization, and Low Friction Coating. Because this is a dry process, there is zero risk of unwanted residues or cross-contamination.
