Benefit from our success story
DiamondFace is an innovative microcrystalline diamond coating for mechanical seals. It is extremely hard and offers high wear protection, excellent heat conductivity, maximum chemical resistance and low friction. The coating adhesion also exceeds all known practical requirements. This increases the service life of mechanical seals several times over, the maintenance intervals are extended accordingly and the life cycle costs are greatly reduced.
The diamond thin-layer technology was developed in 2007 by EagleBurgmann together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST), the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS), Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM), the Condias GmbH, and the Forschungszentrum Jülich. EagleBurgmann has established DiamondFace for mechanical seals as a series-produced product - the very first on the market.
The technology behind it is a microcrystalline diamond layer up to 15 μm thick which is applied to the seal face under vacuum at temperatures of 2,000 °C (3,632 °F) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The properties of this diamond layer are where you benefit. Primarily from its extreme hardness and robustness.
Numerous applications in the fields of oil & gas, refineries, chemical industry, slurry, pharma and water supply are testament to the added value that DiamondFace can bring to the overall performance of a facility. This innovation has thousands of success stories relating to its application in a vast range of industrial sectors. Worldwide.
