For electrolytic and tribological applications

Diamond Coating

Boron-doped diamond electrodes set technological standards in the treatment of wastewater and many other contaminated liquids. Compared to conventional cleaning processes (Advanced Oxidation Processes APO), the Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Process (EAOP) offers the significant advantage that the use of additional chemicals is unnecessary. Diamond electrodes are corrosion resistant and allow almost 100% current efficiency for the generation of OH radicals in water. Tribological applications also benefit from our polycrystalline, "real" diamond coating.

Knowledge & Competence

What makes our diamond coating stand out?

The diamond electrode has the largest known overvoltage to generate oxygen and hydrogen. No energy is wasted, but it is almost completely used to generate OH radicals as the strongest known oxidant. The diamond coating is highly corrosion resistant to salts and chemicals in the electrolyte. We rely on polysilicon as the base material for our boron-doped diamond electrodes as well as our diamond coating. This is an alternative to commercially available niobium substrates and is much more cost-effective and readily available.

When it comes to tribological coatings, DLC (Diamond like Carbon) is usually thought of first, but this wears out much faster compared to our "real" diamond coating. Where conventional mixed friction pairings reach their limits, our "real" diamond coating helps to go the decisive step further.
