High performance coatings
The high performance coatings are specifically designed for forming and molding
tools utilized in the most demanding applications where improved productivity is
needed.
Ionbond™ 90 Concept
Ionbond™ 90 Concept is the next generation
PVD coating that combines excellent fatigue
resistance, high hardness and low coefficient
of friction in order to provide superior performance in the most demanding low temperature forming and molding applications. This
unique combination of properties enables
Ionbond™ 90 Concept to provide superior
performance to that of traditional PVD, CVD,
and TD Coatings.

applications
Ionbond™ 35
Ionbond™ 35 CrWN is a PVD coating specifically designed for high temperature
forming applications. It exhibits excellent
oxidation and abrasion resistance, along
with superior resistance to chemical attack
by molten aluminum compared to traditional PVD coatings. Its deposition temperature at 350 °C makes it compatible with the
commonly used tool materials.
Die casting
Hot stamping (press hardening)
Hot forging
Tight tolerance hot extrusion
Rubber molding
Plastic injection molding – outgassing resins
Ionbond™ 42
Ionbond™ 42, CrN + a-C:H provides a combination of high fatigue and abrasion resistance with a very low coefficient of friction
and ultra-smooth surface. This makes
Ionbond™ 42 the preferred solution for nonferrous forming and plastic injection molding applications.
Piercing, forming, and trimming
non-ferrous materials
Plastic injection molding ejector pins
Plastic injection molding – sticky resins
Powder metal compaction
Added capabilities and services
Bernex™ CVD coatings for
complex shapes and features
Bernex™ CVD coatings continue to find applications in the coating of molds, and dies.
The nature of the chemical vapor deposition
process makes it possible to coat surfaces
that cannot be reached by a PVD process and
makes it an ideal solution for tools with open
dimensional tolerances, demanding materials and complex geometries. The coating
materials include titanium-based nitrides
and carbides as well as different forms of
aluminum oxides and doped elements.
Complex geometries
Inner contours
Quality assured
Ionbond tool coating centers hold an extensive range of international accreditations, including ISO 9001, ISO 9002, AS
9100, TS 16949, and are approved by numerous OEMs in the tool industry. On top
of the quality system Ionbond has a mindset that focuses on the needs of its customers and constantly works on improving products and processes.
Reliability and delivery
Fast turnaround times
Pick-up and drop-off service
Bernex™ 29
Bernex™ 29 is a CVD multi-layer coating
based on Al2O3. It exhibits excellent thermal
stability, chemical inertness, and high resistance to wear. This combination of characteristics makes it the leading solution for hot
extrusion applications for ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
Open tolerance aluminum die casting
Open tolerance hot extrusion
Open tolerance plastic injection molding – outgassing resins
