Certess DLC (Diamond-like Carbon)
Tribological PACVD Coating

Certess DLC is a high-performing PACVD coating.

• Tailored hardness
• Low friction

Certess DLC PACVD coating is a structurally amorphous,
low friction carbon-hydrogen based film.  This PACVD coating is
exceptionally dense, and chemically inert.  Deposited films are 1 to
3 µm, tailored to the application; hardness is 2000 to 2500 HV.

Certess DLC coatings have excellent tribological properties. 
They are temperature resistant to 350°C, and highly resistant to
adhesive and abrasive wear, so they’re often specified for  applications
that involve extreme contact pressure in sliding or rolling contact.   

Certess DLC is often used on shafts, bearings, and similar automotive
applications. Certess DLC coatings are one of the self-lubricating
coatings, which retard wear when components are starved for lubrication. 
It is lubricious at ambient atmosphere, and under vacuum conditions. 

Certess DLC is a leading PACVD coatings choice for plastics
processing (where quick, predictable mold release enhances both
quality and productivity) and for mechanical components that
encounter high levels of abrasive contact.
