Carbon coatings are diamond-like
Diamond-like carbon coatings for the medical industry provide excellent chemical resistance, low friction, electrical insulation and biocompatibility to suit a variety of applications.
Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC), a leading manufacturer of innovative ceramic, glass, metal, and engineered coating solutions, introduces Diamonex Diamond-like carbon coatings (DLC) for the medical industry through its Diamonex Products division. The high performance coatings provide excellent chemical resistance, low friction, electrical insulation and biocompatibility, creating an ideal solution for a variety of applications, including catheters, surgical instruments, implantable joints, medical instrumentation and packaging. Using patented plasma or ion beam chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies, MAC creates the DLC coatings, which exhibit chemical and physical properties similar to diamond, but without long-range crystalline order.
The Diamonex DLC coatings exhibit high hardness, a low coefficient of friction and chemical resistance.
Diamonex DLC coatings are applied to the product at near ambient temperature, thereby maintaining dimensional tolerances.
The high degree of vapor ionization used in MAC’s processes for DLC produces highly dense, conformal coatings with excellent adhesion.
Available in either ‘electrically insulating’ or ‘charge dissipating’ forms, MAC’s Diamonex DLC coatings can be specifically engineered to meet the performance requirements of each unique application.
