DLC Endurance
The high versatility coating
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a latest generation carbon-based coating performed using PACVD technology. It can be employed in a wide range of applications. It has a high hardness and a reduced friction coefficient, due to the simultaneous presence of sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon. It allows to face problems related to abrasion, sliding and chemical aggression.
