In today‘s world, plastics are employed for ever more sophisticated uses. Advances in technology have meant that there is now a significantly wider range of uses to which reinforced plastics are put. Even metals may be substituted by plastics in many cases. But as ever more filling and reinforcement materials are used to make plastics, the wear to the tools used for processing these plastics is also getting significantly greater. The complex problems of wear require a multifunctional protection for the tools, ensuring greater resistance to abrasion and corrosion and also increasing a coating‘s adhesive strength. This type of protection must also be suited to the complex worm geometries in existence today.

The ATC coating is an extremely hard, dense, very thin and elastic chromium coating that is deposited with the help of a special electrolytic process. The special coating characteristics of a pure ATC chromium surface and the high resistance to corrosion make this type of coating a very beneficial technology, especially if it is used to protect worms from wear.

An ATC Armoloy coating is a sensible and efficient solution to many problems associated with wear, e.g. corrosion due to chemical aggression, fatigue wear, and abrasive and adhesive wear, especially with regard to PET and PE plastics.
