Characteristics and Applications of CARBOCER©
CARBOCER© is a well
modified Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating which is hard, flexible ,provides
low-friction and corrosive resistance. The technology has been known since the
1970s, and PLASMA ELECTRONIC GmbH is at the forefront of the technical
and process development, together with industrial applications and
installations.
PLASMA ELECTRONIC GmbH provides the
Low-Pressure-Plasma equipment like the standard units CVD-Piccolo, CVD-Domino
and Porta900 to apply these layers at low temperature, accurately, cleanly and
cheaply to a wide variety of substrates - regardless of the substrate geometry.
