Technology

Slide 1
Technology innovation

Through the chemical gas phase separation, so-called CVD process (Chemical Vapor Deposition), we can coat our blades, tools, bullets and scalpels with diamond. The plasma sharpening process can significantly increase the sharpness and durability (long life).

Slide 2
Why diamond

Diamond has a unique combination of outstanding material properties. It is extremely hard, yet light, wear-resistant, chemically inert, electrically non-conductive and has a particularly low coefficient of friction. This makes diamond ideal for mechanical applications.

Slide 3
Plasma sharpened diamond

The production is based on two technologies developed by us:
❯ First, a nano crystalline diamond coating is applied to a carrier made of hard metal.
❯ This ultra thin layer of pure diamond is then applied polished using a plasma sharpening process.
