Presentation Abstract


Applications of DLC for increased Security and Sustainability


Currency manufacturers have made impressive steps forward with their environmental impact and sustainability goals. However, the chromium manufacturing process of the various printing forms, used for the printing of banknotes, remains a major toxicity concern and under regulatory review.


CEO Eric Serenius presented how special Diamond Like Carbon technology can solve this acute challenge via novel DLC technologies, available today from RotaHybrid Advanced. This engineered surface simultaneously improves ink transfer, micro-structure replication and form longevity, whilst reaching sustainability; or adding up to demonstrated value. It is a European Commission success story!
