Electrical clippers & shavers
BALINIT A (TiN)-coated cutting blades, as well as pleasantly colored, have a stable, wear-resistant cutting edge.
Advantage: long-lasting shaver performance
BALINIT DLC coating of oscillating shaver blades increases cutting edge wear-resistance and decreases wear to the uncoated foil. Friction within the device is also reduced.
Advantages: low-wear level allows use of a thin shaving foil which delivers a superior shaving result. Low friction significantly enhances battery life.
