Surface treatment

Coating is the magic word in the world of surface treatment in which we supply instruments, both standard and customised, for use in plasma coating installations, chemical vapour deposition (cvd), thermal spraying, plasma polymerisation on textiles, etc.

Examples of applications

  • Plasma Coating installations
  • Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)
  • Thermal Spraying
  • Plasma polymerisation of textiles and fibers
  • Painting and other processes in which surfaces are hardened, embellished or provided with a functional layer

Glass coating

Glass coatings are made for modifying optical properties of glass, to improve solar transmission characteristics or just for changing its aesthetic appearance. Whether for solar and energetic control or architectural purposes only, glass coating is a very demanding process.

Gas flow control for Diamond Deposition

In HFCVD processes flow control plays an important role. Gas mixtures must be cautiously controlled; flow controllers are used to guarantee the proper amount of gas and the repeatability of the process.

Plasma Spraying

In for example the automotive and aerospace industries some mechanical parts are highly loaded with temperatures, corrosion and erosion. To protect them against these heavy influences, plasma spraying is the solution.

Glass Surface Treatment

The application of paint or labels to surfaces can be trickier than one would expect. If the surface is not properly prepared, the result will be less than perfect. A leading manufacturer of glass coating equipment was looking for a way to improve their coating process and increase their competitive advantage.
