AIP® is a kind of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating which uses cathodic arc discharging in the vacuum chamber. KOBAC, through the technology of KOBELCO, developed a plasma enhanced cathode, a high-performance film, especially for hard coating and low friction film, BELCOAT™.
KOBAC provides hard, smooth surface film with high adhesion coated by KOBELCO AIP® S-series technology.
