Umicore provides the specialized coating, called wear protection, needed in the manufacture of cutting, drilling, milling and turning tools.
The requirements for every type of tool continue to grow and wear protection plays a big role in their longevity. Today, all state-of-the-art tools need wear protection to extend tool life and fulfill the special needs of the cutting process.
Tools are not the only products that need protection from wear and tear. Our line of physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings can be used for decorative goods like bathroom fittings and automotive parts as well.
