PACVD Coating (Plasma-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition)

CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings are ultra-thin films that combine the hardness of diamond with the lubricity of graphite. These coatings are applied through a vapor-phase process, resulting in a strong, uniform layer that is extremely hard, wear-resistant, and chemically inert. CVD DLC coatings are widely used in industries such as automotive, medical, electronics, and tooling, where low friction, high durability, and biocompatibility are essential. Their excellent performance in reducing wear, preventing corrosion, and improving surface smoothness makes them ideal for extending the life and efficiency of high-performance components.
