IBC Coatings Technologies: Protecting Metals from Wear and Corrosion

IBC Coatings Technologies Delivering High-Performance Coatings and Surface Treatments

IBC Coatings Technologies pleased to announce the addition of two new Tungsten-doped Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coatings, Ceratough®-0604 and Ceratough®-0605

IBC Coatings Technologies provides high-performance coatings and surface treatments that reduce wear and corrosion of metals. We analyze each customer’s application and develop a tailored solution that will improve the performance of our customer’s products.

IBC Coatings Technologies continues to expand our product offering of high-performance coatings. We are pleased to announce the addition of two new Tungsten-doped Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coatings that are available now.

These new products have DLC’s low coefficient of friction, but with the addition of Tungsten, these coatings can carry loads that are significantly higher. These coatings have application in bearings, actuators and other components that have high loads in rolling or sliding applications.

IBC Coatings Technologies pleased to announce the addition of two Dry Film Lubricant coatings, Ceratough®-0607 (TiMoS2) and Ceratough®-0608 (CrMoS2)

IBC Coatings Technologies provides high-performance coatings and surface treatments that reduce wear and corrosion of metals. We analyze each customer’s application and develop a tailored solution that will improve the performance of our customer’s products.

IBC Coatings Technologies continues to expand our product offering of high-performance coatings. We are pleased to announce the addition of two Dry Film Lubricant coatings, Ceratough®-0607 (TiMoS2) and Ceratough®-0608 (CrMoS2) both are available now.

These new products have an extremely low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for applications that need extended wear resistance, or have marginal, or no, lubrication options. The coatings are based on Molybdenum Disulfide (a widely used lubricant) applied using a Magnetron Sputtering Physical Vapor Deposition process.
