Coating materials and substrates

Coating materials

Our coatings are able to modify and improve substrate properties. By using sputtering technology, we are able to deposit a wide variety of metals and alloys.

Below you will find a selection of the coating materials we use:

Metals

• Aluminum (Al)
• Chromium (Cr)
• Iron (Fe)
• Gold (Au)
• Copper (Cu)
• Molybdenum (Mo)
• Palladium (Pd)
• Silver (Ag)
• Titanium (Ti)
• Tin (Sn)

 

Oxides/Nitrides

• AlxOy
• AlxNy
• AZO
• ITO
• Nb2O3
• SixNy
• SiO2
• SnO2

and multilayers combined therefrom

as well as various alloys such as:

• NiCr
• CuAl
• constantan
• Monel
• various gold tone alloys

and an overview of the property improvements associated with them:

Optical properties	Increased reflection, optical filters, decorative effects
Electrical properties	Improvement of conductivity, shielding of electromagnetic radiation
Thermal properties	Thermal insulation, sun protection
Chemical properties	Achievement of herbicidal or antimicrobial effects of the substrates
Adhesive properties	In addition to the inline plasma pre-treatment, various adhesion-promoting intermediate layers lead to an optimization of the coating adhesion
Barrier properties	To prevent the diffusion of gases and moisture through the substrate

 

 

Substrates

Theoretically, it is possible for us to coat all flexible substrates in roll form that are vacuum-compatible, i.e. do not outgas too much in a vacuum. In the following table you will find a selection of the substrates we coat.

Substrate type	Substrate material	Thickness/surface weight
Films	PETP, PVC, PEN, PEEK, PE, PP, PI	8 - 400 µ
Nonwovens	PETP, PETP/PE, PP, PA	15 - 350 g/m 2
Fabrics	PETP, PA, Glas	> 20 - 200 g/m 2
