TECHNICAL DATASHEET: High Tech Coating DC

This coating is composed of carbon clusters which develop a crystal structure similar to a natural diamond and practically detain the same properties of the diamond.  This high-tech coating is done by a very innovative plasma-assisted deposition technique.  During this process a pure diamond film grows directly on the exposed surfaces of the metallic substrate (this is not diamond powder adhesively bonded on the metal surface).

• High hardness (up to 80 GPa)

• High adhesion to the metallic substrate

• Black color

• Low thickness (2 microns), high elasticity

• Extremely high wear and abrasion resistance 
  (protects fine time tweezers from wearing)

• No particulate shedding (no contamination of the handled components)

• Chemically inert up to 350°C

• Bio-compatible (maintain cell integrity, no inflammatory response), no contamination of biological tissue with metal particles

• Electrically conductive

• ESD safe coating
