The auto racing and motorcycle racing industries are large. In fact, auto racing is so popular that Formula One® is the largest recognized sport worldwide.

.Advancements in production and logistics capabilities over the last decade have made components for moving vehicles less expensive, longer-lasting and more attainable than ever before. The most exciting game-changer in an increasingly tech-forward field? Diamond-like coatings.

The printing industry is rife with complexities. From logistics to technology, printing’s capabilities are changing what seems like every year. It can be hard to keep up.

Forward-thinking companies in the printing sector are looking to new ways to improve methods and efficiencies. Enter: DLC.

Diamond-like carbon coatings from Industrial Hard Carbon are often used to streamline the very processes that make printing work. Here’s why:

Textile machinery endures a high degree of wear and tear throughout its lifetime. Due to the high temperatures required for it to run smoothly, the near constant use and the force needed to manipulate a wide variety of textiles, maintaining this kind of equipment is a job in itself.

Formula One® racing is drastically different from how it was 10 years ago. As recently as 2000, “dirty air” exhaust made watching a race – and participating in one – particularly difficult. Thanks to cleaner engines and other technological advances in the equipment used in Formula 1® racing, millions of viewers are tuning in to watch each international race online, but popularity is still middling in some markets. Why?

With so many different thin films and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings on the market today, the choices can be overwhelming. 

With many of the DLCs and thin films sharing similar characteristics, it can be hard to find the right engineering solution for your business. That’s where Industrial Hard Carbon, or IHC, can help. 

IHC’s DLC coating succeeds where other DLCs fail. Moreover, our team of sales engineers speak your language and can help you determine the best solution for your application.
