Material Notes:
a-C:H/a-Si:O nanocomposite. This coating provides the lowest friction of the BACT products, even in high humidity or wet environments. It offers an excellent combination of anti-stick and wear behavior. Typical applications include printer-copier equipment, biomedical, and others.Applied using a PACVD (plasma-assisted physical vapor deposition) coating method. Diamond-like coatings are amorphous carbon-based coatings that exhibit high hardness and low coefficients of friction. Their unique composition and structure result in excellent wear resistance and non-stick characteristics. These coatings are thin, chemically inert, corrosion resistant, have minimal particulate contamination, tailorable electrical resistivities, and have a very low surface roughness.Information provided by Bekaert Advanced Coating Technologies (BACT).
