Products in Paints & Coatings: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition)

CERTESS® NITRO T is an aluminum doped titanium nitride coating to increase maximum operating temperature with optimized density to limit columnar growth.

Infinium A is a multilayer Aluminum Titanium Nitride based coating. Infinium A development-based coatings are the most significant advancement in wear coatings since the introduction of Titanium Nitride. Infinium A addition to the coating not only increases cold and hot hardness but also can double the maximum operating temperature of Infinium A coated components.

FluoroSyl™ 3750 is an antifouling coating that repels water, oil, foods and fingerprints.

E17™ is an aluminum titanium nitride based proprietary coating.

Calico® D is a Nanocomposite structure. This is accomplished by embedding nanocrystalline AlTiN grains into an amorphous matrix. This advanced Nanocomposite Technology has allowed the formation of a higher nanohardness coating with greater thermal stability than any conventional coating typically used in extreme environments. Calico® D is normally applied to steels and hardened steels where high wear resistance is needed. It can be stripped and recoated.

Infinium T is a Titanium Nitride based coating. Titanium Nitride was the first commercially available hard coating on the market. It took almost a decade to gain acceptance and has proven to be useful to this day. Although PVD Titanium Nitride has become a commodity coating, there are still many differences in the quality of the coatings among suppliers. It has a beautiful gold color and is very hard and wear resistant.

Infinium E is a Chromium Nitride-based coating. Infinium E is a tough, wear-resistant coating with exceptional corrosion resistance. Infinium E has higher oxidation resistance than Infinium T and Infinium C and, due to its chemical inertness, prevents adhesive wear.

CERTESS® NITRO TC is a carbon doped titanium nitride coating to decrease friction with optimized density to limit columnar growth.

Infinium Z is a Zirconium Nitride based coating. Infinium Z is a complementary PVD coating to Infinium T. Infinium Z has similar performance characteristics to Infinium T, with the exception of having a lower sticking probability when machining aluminum and aluminum alloys due to its smoother surface and better chemical resistance. Infinium Z has a brilliant light gold color.

E2™ is a chromium nitride based proprietary coating.

CERTESS® NITRO SD is a boron doped titanium nitride coating to increase hardness and maximum operating temperature with optimized density to limit columnar growth.

CERTESS® NITRO Ti is a standard titanium nitride coating with optimized density to limit columnar growth.

FluoroSyl 3750 is hydrophobic and oleophobic perfluoropolyether derivatives. These coatings provides long-lasting, anti-fouling, anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge properties to properly cleaned surfaces. FluoroSyl bonds to glass, plastic and metal surfaces. This produces an easy-to-clean, low surface energy, low refractive index, transparent, oil, water and stain repellent coating that is less than 10 nanometers thick.

E20™is a chromium tungsten nitride based proprietary coating.

Infinium C, PVD Titanium Carbonitrade (TiCN) is created by introducing a carbon-bearing gas to the Infinium T deposition process. The incorporation of carbon into the film increases its hardness and wear resistance while lowering its coefficient of friction from the properties of Infinium T. These properties yield significant lifetime improvement in comparison to Infinium T coatings. Due to its increase in brittleness, Infinium C is deposited as a multilayered coating to have adequate toughness for cutting applications.

Calico Coatings Titanium Carbo-Nitride has the highest lubricity of all the TiN coatings, making it an excellent choice as a dry film lubricant where improved hardness and wear resistance beyond standard Calico TiN is needed. TiCN is normally applied to steels, hardened steel, and stainless steel materials. TiCN is an excellent coating when working against bronze, brass and plastic, therefore, it is a good choice for stamping, punching, and forming. It can be stripped and recoated.

E18™ is a titanium nitride based proprietary coating.

Calico® D-2 is a nanocomposite structure. This is accomplished by embedding nanocrystalline AlCrN grains into an amorphous matrix. This advanced nanocomposite technology has allowed the formation of a higher nanohardness coating with greater thermal stability than any conventional coating. Typically used in extreme environments and metal-on-metal wear. Calico D-2 is normally applied to steels and hardened steels materials where high wear resistance is needed. It can be stripped and recoated.

FortiPhy℠ PVD Coating is a PVD based chromium Nitride (CrN) tool coating, is a patented Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating technology based upon the principles of plasma acceleration. This process results in higher plasma density and an intense, low energy ion bombardment during coating deposition. Coatings formed by this process exhibit unprecedented toughness and lubricity, as well as outstanding uniformity.

E6™ is a titanium carbo nitride based proprietary coating.

P50™ is a metalized diamond like carbon based proprietary coating.

E10™ is an aluminum titanium chromium nitride based proprietary coating.
