Recommended eifeler Coating
For plastic injection molding, selecting the right coating is key to extending mold life and improving part quality. Our DLC and ultrafine PVD coatings provide excellent wear resistance, reduce friction, and minimize material adhesion. This leads to less downtime, easier maintenance, and consistent surface finishes. Check out our coating guide to find the best solution for your specific molding needs.
