dianoir® is the ta-C DLC coating specially designed to meet the highest aesthetic and technical requirements of the watchmaking and jewellery industry. The anthracite-black colour is an optimal prerequisite for aesthetic applications and the hardness of 4500 HV guarantees high wear resistance even under harsh environmental conditions.

All data given are approximate values, depending on application, environment and test conditions. Coating hardness HIT [GPa] Measured by nano indentation according to ISO 14577. The hardness can be adapted to the application. Coefficient of friction (dry) versus steel determined by dry disc ball test with a steel ball according to ASTM G99. These values may be exceeded during run-in. Maximum service temperature [°C] These are approximate values.

dianoir® is produced with a deposition system for ta-C DLC coatings patented by Argor-Aljba. The main advantages are:
high wear and corrosion resistance
- uniform anthracite-black colouring
- non-toxic process and biological compatibility are optimal properties for the use of dianoir® in contact with the human skin
- special intermediate layer for perfect adhesion
