DIAMONEX^® Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings

Low Temperature CVD Plasma & Ion Beam Deposited Thin Film

DIAMONEX^® DLC is a conformal, superhard and low friction coating of an amorphous form of carbon with diamond bonds. Amorphous carbon is a material whose properties resemble, but do not duplicate, those of natural Diamond.

Friction	<0.1 (as-deposited)
Coating Thickness	.001 - 10µm
Max. Working Temp.	500 °C
Deposition Temp.	<150 °C
Chemical Resistance	Inert
Electrical Resistivity	10⁶-10¹² (ohm-cm)
Coating Finish	Identical to substrate
Refractive Index	1.5-2.1 (depending upon formulation)
