BALINIT® TRITON STAR combines a high hardness with an extremely low coefficient of friction. Being a diamond-like carbon coating (DLC), it provides particularly good protection against abrasive and adhesive wear. The added metal-based support layer (chromium nitride) significantly increases the load-bearing capacity and makes BALINIT® TRITON STAR the coating of choice e.g. for a wide range of popular aluminium forming processes.
