The vacuum deposition specialist

Founded in 1996 in the heart of the bar-turning industry in the Arve Valley, THERMI-PLATiN' complements heat treatment with vacuum coatings.

A wide range of PVD and DLC coatings covers all applications for tooling, medical devices and wear parts.

THERMI-PLATiN''s ultra-high-performance anti-wear coatings provide tool manufacturers and users with productivity gains to help you remain competitive in your industry.

The THERMI-PLATIN site also offers solutions tailored to the medical sector with certified biocompatible coatings: PLATiN® MEDI BETA - PLATiN® MEDI ZrN - PLATiN® MEDI WC-C and THERMI-DLC.

THERMI-PLATIN also masters specific tribological coatings based on DLC carbon: wear parts, mold elements requiring a good coefficient of friction.

Recently, a new technology has been put into operation to produce PREMIUM layers in coating only or in DUPLEX (nitriding + PVD coating in the same enclosure). Equipment to prepare tool edges and improve surface finish for better chip evacuation is also operational.

    Wear, friction, etc.: how to improve the durability of metal parts?
    Depending on how often they're used, how they're laid out and the materials they're made of, metal parts can wear in a variety of ways. Corrosion, abrasion, adhesion or simply fatigue, each situation is treated differently. Heat treatment in the mass, case-hardening, nitriding: which process for which wear mode? Different types of wear [...]
