DLC SLICOs
Top-Performance Sliding Coats.
Our DLC SLICOs Coatings (SLIding COatings) are very hard, extremely smooth, have excellent sliding properties and are chemically inert. Therefor they are ideal sliding coats for all tribological applications. THE anti-friction coating for prolonged service life, higher productivity and better performance!

For Brilliant Results
Eifeler DLC SLICOs excel through very low degrees of dry friction against metallic friction partners and high micro-hardness of up to 3,500 HV. Therefore, they offer excellent protection against abrasive and adhesive wear as well as exceptional corrosion protection. Further strengths of the coating systems are the control of tribo-oxidation and fatigue wear. The brilliant results: longer service life, improved reliability and general increase in performance of the coated construction elements, components and tools.
Sliding Coats for Tribological Applications and Much More
Eifeler DLC SLICOs coatings systems are mainly characterised by even better sliding properties when compared to PVD coats. They are particularly well suited for construction elements subject to high degrees of mechanical stress with extreme wear stress and high relative speeds. They are the ideal sliding coats for engine components, sliding and roller elements, pumps and compressors.
Thanks to extremely low deposition temperatures of no more than 200 °C, soft materials such as aluminium or copper alloys can also be coated. They are perfectly suited for plastic processing and, due to their high bio-compatibility, for the food industry and medical technology.
Top Performance in Motor Sports
There is hardly any area that places higher demands on quality and speed than motor sports – across the entire production and process chain. That is why the number of coated components is on the rise in this area, as it is in the whole of vehicle manufacturing. Eifeler DLC SLICOs provide longer component service life, improved reliability and safe, clean handling. Thus, higher levels of efficiency can be achieved in the production process and vehicle performance alike – both in the areas of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles.
Three DLC Coating Systems for Your Requirements
Adjusted to the individual requirements of our customers, we currently offer our DLC SLICOs coating systems in three different coat structure variants:
- DLC
- Cr+DLC
- Cr+CrN+DLC
Naturally, all three show the same outstanding friction, wear and corrosion reducing characteristics of diamond-like carbon. When using a combined coat structure, a hard, durable chrome nitride coat underneath the tribologically effective carbon coat yields even toughness, fatigue and corrosion resistance.
Eifeler DLC SLICOs are part of our TRONIX series and are deposited using HIPIES technology.
Is there a DLC SLICOs sliding coat that perfectly meets your requirements? Or would one of our numerous other hard coatings / one of our numerous PVD coatings be even better suited for your individual requirements?
