GP Plasma's team of experts offers consulting services for the thin films coating industry. With decades of combined experience in our specific fields, we can help solve your complex materials problems, optimize your process and design the equipment to produce your products. We can troubleshoot, tune and model your coating processes in order to improve your yields as well as to decrease your time to market for new applications. In addition, we offer hands on, customized training with your staff, minimizing the time necessary to bring your team up to speed and maximizing efficiency. Our systems design team can model and design pilot production systems. Having designed equipment for the solar, glass and hard coatings industries, we can manage the requirements of any process no matter how demanding.
We also work with our partners in order to educate others about new technologies and their applications. Having worked in the HIPIMS field for over 15 years, we are experts in designing equipment and processes for dense, conformal sputtered coatings. Our partner Duralar, specializes in a unique Hollow Cathode deposition technology which can deposit conformal DLC coatings on complex geometries as well as the ID of tubes with a 15:1 aspect ratio. This PECVD process allows us to also produce coatings which offer true corrosion protection and which can be deposited at rates greater than 20 µm per hour. We also offer Plasma Electrolytic Processing through our partner IBC Materials and Technologies Group. These unique processes allow one to polish metals, strip paint and coatings from metallic substrates as well as to create hard, dense oxide layers on aluminum and titanium alloys.
From forensic analysis to design and optimization, we look forward to increasing your productivity while minimizing your risk.
