PPDTM and P3eTM: Oerlikon Balzers sets new industrial standards with PPD^TM and P3e^TM. Pulsed Plasma Diffusion (PPD^TM) will replace the traditional hard chrome plating for medium and large punching and forming tools. With this new solution by-products such as hexavalent chromium, which is harmful to health and the environment, will be eliminated.

The Pulse Enhanced Electron Emission (P3e^TM) technology is a breakthrough within the thin film processes. Installed on the latest coating equipment INNOVA, P3e^TM enables the deposition of advanced oxide-based coatings and therefore offers a completely new range of possibilities in the design and performance of cutting tools. All global leaders in tool manufacturing have opted for this innovative coating system.
