Plasma coating
Plasma treatment can implement a wide range of surface coatings:
- Super-hard, scratch-proof and abrasion-proofDLCcoats
- PTFE-like coats by means of plasma polymerisation
- Generation of hydrophobic coats by means ofHMDSO
- Generation ofof hydrophilic coats with vinyl acetate
- Epilamisationby polymerisation of fluorinated monomers (CF4)
- Oxide layer to avoid corrosion
- Coating by means of magnetronsputtering (PVD process)
- Plasma-supported chemical vapour deposition processes (PACVD, PECVD)
- Barrier coatsto avoid diffusion,permeation
- Decorative coats
