Continuous scientific research combined with patented coating processes and integrated deposition technologies allows Argor-Aljba to produce nanotechnological DLC coatings with cutting-edge technical and aesthetic performance.
Dropless® 5000 Plus is the ta-C DLC coating deposited using Argor-Aljba's patented dropless® technology at a temperature of less than 100 °C with a standard thickness of 1 µm. The dropless® 5000 plus coating has a very high sp3 percentage (typical of natural diamond) of about 85% and a hardness of about 48 GPa (5000 HV). It comes in a dark grey colour.
We offer the same coating in 0.5 µm thickness (rainbow colors), and also an even harder ta-C DLC coating with hardness up to 67 GPa (7000 HV) in thicknesses of 0.5 and 1 µm.
And all our coatings are 100% Swiss made!

Argor-Aljba's mastery of DLC coating processes enables us to offer innovative DLC coating systems in 4 different colors: ANTHRACITE, DEEP BLACK, SILVER/STEEL and BRONZE/BROWN. Highest aesthetical requirements are combined with superior properties regarding scratch and wear resistance.
These DLC coatings, with hardnesses ranging from 800 to 4'500 HV, can be applied directly to most materials used in the watchmaking world, without the need for an undercoat. It is therefore perfectly suited to both case parts and movement components, to take advantage of their superior functional properties.
And all our services are 100% Swiss made!

Environmental regulations, the medical and luxury sectors pose new technical challenges in material processing and in the aesthetic and functional coating of finished components, which the latest ta-C-DLC coatings, which are produced with the patented dropless® technology, have effectively solved.
The participation at EMO 2021 was definitely appreciated by customers who had the opportunity to touch at first-hand the quality of our ta-C DLC coatings.
It has also been an opportunity to launch our PACVD + HiPIMS combined deposition technology and to discuss the needs and trends of the ta-C DLC coatings market with our customers and suppliers.
Argor-Aljba is ready to support the increasing demand for ta-C DLC coatings both in the industrial and aesthetic/functional fields.
