A diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is an extremely rugged and abrasion resistant anti-reflection coating, making it ideal for external surface applications where extreme environmental conditions will be encountered. Umicore can successfully apply DLC coatings to germanium and silicon substrates.
We were also the first to pioneer a DLC performance coating on chalcogenide glass creating a next generation of iDLC coating. Umicore can successfully apply iDLC coatings to its range of proprietary GASIR® chalcogenide glass.
