Lyra ETK - Technical Manager
"We needed to call on a company skilled in vacuum coating to ensure lasting quality for our products.
It was the quality aspect that drew me back to them. We make products that stay in patients' mouths, quality is paramount in our business and it's an aspect that Thermi-Platin has amply met."

Biocompatibility: definition and identification
Biocompatibility refers to the ability of a material to come into contact with the human body without causing undesirable reactions. This notion is an essential element in the design of medical devices, as it conditions their permanent or temporary use in a biological environment.
The definition is based on a series of biocompatibility tests (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization). These tests assess toxicity, degradation or interaction with living tissue. Thermilyon's medical treatments and coatings comply with these standards.
The chemical characterization of a biomaterial can, for example, verify the absence of toxic substances that could migrate into the body. This is an essential safety guarantee for every implant, dental prosthesis or medical tool.

The Thermilyon group's sites certified for the medical markets are THERMI-PLATIN and THERMI-BUGEY.
There are two main types: softening treatments to improve the shaping or machining of parts, modify or improve the metallurgical structure or defragilize certain mechanisms. Hardening treatments in the mass or on the surface to improve the mechanical performance of components.
The main advantages are the ability to obtain perfectly clean parts after treatment, and to significantly limit deformation when cooling under neutral gas. Vacuum technology furnaces are heated by electricity, not gas. What's more, the absence of atmosphere eliminates any risk of oxidation. These processes are the most environmentally-friendly of all heat treatments.
Vacuum deposition is a surface treatment used to deposit a material or alloy on a mechanical part.
The use of vacuum technology ensures a perfectly clean, non-polluting process.
It is not subject to REACH legislation.
The deposition method depends above all on the nature of the coating to be deposited and the substrate.
If the substrate cannot be heated to high temperature, the deposition must be carried out using low-temperature technology.
If the coating to be deposited consists of a solid element (metal or graphite target), a physical process such as PVD is used. If the coating consists of a gas or liquid, a chemical process such as CVD or PACVD is used.
