In best shape with intelligent coating systems
Numerous application fields for PVD coatings in plastics technology are known and well established.
Next to the main usage plastic injection molding, other areas are extrusion, connecting and processing of plastics.
Areas of application
Plastics injection molding
Coating of mold contours and tool parts
Plastics extrusion
Coating of tool components
Cutting of plastics
Coated cutting tools
Connecting of plastics
For example welding plastics with coated tools
PVD coating in plastic technology
TiN
Titanium nitride as demolding agent or abrasion protection
CrN
Chromium nitride for the reduction of residue or corrosion protection
DLC 4000
Diamond Like Carbon for movable tool parts, e.g. cores, ejectors and sliders
Advantages of PVD coatings in plastics technology
Abrasion protection for structured and polished surfaces
Reduction of mold residue and cleaning efford
Reduction of corrosive and chemical wear
Improved demolding and lower cycle times
Friction reduction and dry run option for movable parts
Improved surface of plastics parts
