Diamond-Like Coating Keeping Machinery Running Longer

Industrial Hard Carbon’s thin film helps industrial manufacturers, plants, and factories stay online for longer thanks to the wear resistance and high hardness and lubricity of their diamond-like coating. By allowing industrial machinery to be longer lasting, Industrial Hard Carbon can make plants more efficient.

Protection from Corrosion and Elevated Pressures

In the oil and gas industry, machinery must be corrosion resistant in the presence of salt water and mud to withstand the pressure increases of drilling over the long term. Industrial Hard Carbon protects from corrosion and is both highly wear-resistant and extremely hard. Because Industrial Hard Carbon reduces friction and resists corrosion to help keep pumping machinery running longer.

DLC for textiles

Textiles

Decrease Physical and Chemical Damage to Manufacturing Machinery

Textile machinery must be long-lasting to support productivity, but it’s also vital for parts not to shred or damage the product during manufacturing. Industrial Hard Carbon’s diamond-like coating adheres to the surfaces of textile machinery parts to resist wear and protect hard surfaces while delicately handling the product.

Hard Carbon Industrial Applications

Industrial Hard Carbon is a diamond-like thin film coating that offers flexibility in many applications, allowing it to succeed where other films fail. IHC is commonly used in applications that require high wear resistance, lubricity, and hardness, and the thin film can handle extreme conditions.

Our Solutions

Industrial Hard Carbon has developed coating processes to allow composite materials to receive performance-enhancing benefits under extreme conditions. We strive to reduce weight while increasing the durability of parts in high-temperature environments. Our solutions are applied by our highly skilled team of professionals, who control every detail of the coating process – from the substrate to the surface – and our state-of-the-art vacuum chambers.
