About DECOAT
DECOAT GmbH, based in Rheinböllen, offers a full service covering PVD coating technology. Hard material layers are deposited on modern PVD coating systems using PACVD, sputter, and arc technology, enabling extremely smooth, highly ionized, and very hard coatings, even at very low temperatures. The service portfolio includes tool coatings DECOAT DLC plus (DLC), TiN, AlTiN, and CrN for HSS, tool steel, and carbide substrates, as well as stripping of PVD and CVD coatings without substrate attack — for carbide without cobalt leaching and with preserved cutting edge geometry. Before coating, components are cleaned in fully automatic multi-chamber ultrasonic or industrial washing systems and, if required, pretreated by wet blasting, micro blasting, glass bead blasting, or polishing. In addition, the company develops customer-specific coating and stripping processes and advises on coating system selection. Its customers are primarily the tool industry and toolmaking.
