Applications of DLC for increased Security and Sustainability

Currency manufacturers, have made impressive steps forward with their Environmental impact and Sustainability goals. However, the Chromium manufacturing process of the various printing forms, used for the printing of banknotes, remains a major toxicity concern and under regulatory review.

Eric Serenius will present how specialised Diamond like Carbon technology can solve this acute challenge via novel DLC technologies, available today from Roto Hybrid Advanced. This engineered surface simultaneously improves ink transfer, micro-structure replication and form longevity, while REACHing sustainability; all adding up to demonstrated value. It is a European Commission success story.
