 CaTiB – Optimum Scratch Resistance<\/h1><\/div>

For Sensitive
Surfaces.<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

CaTiB protects surfaces against damage and wear, being particularly suited for polished and structured, highly sensitive surfaces in plastic mould construction. This method doesn’t involve a coating being applied for scratch resistance. Instead, a plasma-supported diffusion process leads to a targeted increase in the workpiece\u2019s surface hardness. This ensures that repairs and re-polishing remains possible and without de-coating which significantly reduces maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
