Ideally Prepared by Polishing.
It’s actually quite simple: polished surfaces are very easy to coat. For maximum performance and a high-gloss appearance, we optimally prepare the base material by polishing it before coating. Using the latest technologies, of course.

For Excellent Surface Quality.
Polishing makes surfaces smoother and more uniform. The roughness is reduced and the surface quality is improved. The exact degree of surface finish that is optimal for a tool, for example, depends on various factors such as its function or the materials on which it is used. For forming tools, for example, a roughness of Rz < 2 µm is recommended. Center roughness values between Ra 0.4 µm and 0.1 µm are considered high quality, but a surface quality of up to Ra 0.01 µm may also be required for precision tools.
Roughness Measurement After Polishing
Nothing is more important to us than consistently excellent results. Parameters such as cutting edge preparation are therefore measured to check the quality of the coated workpieces. After polishing, the surface quality is also analyzed by means of roughness measurement.
Advantages of Surface Polishing
- Smoother surface
- Reduced friction
- Less wear
- Reduced material adhesion
- Better performance of the tool
- Higher accuracy of the tool
- Longer tool life
- Higher quality of produced parts
- Visual enhancement

Forming Tools & High-gloss Polish
High-gloss polishing is relevant for aluminum moulds, extrusion tools and injection moulds, among others. High-gloss polishing is crucial in sheet metal forming in order to keep the coefficient of friction as low as possible. Polished surfaces considerably reduce the risk of materials sticking. In addition, the feed radii become smoother. The material slides better and can be forced into or over the mold more easily. This results in less friction – and less wear! Conclusion: The smoother the polish, the better the tool works!!
