Plasma coatings
Non-stick and traction
Since 1997, Rhenotherm GmbH has been the exclusive licensee of Plasma Coatings Inc., Arlington USA for Germany.
Rhenotherm hybrid coatings
A combination of inorganic hard coatings with organic non-stick coatings.
Patent Rhenolease® Lotuflon I, 1999
Inspired by the publications and descriptions of the so-called Lotus Effect® by Mr. Barthlott and Mr. Neinhuis in the mid-nineties, Rhenotherm tried to apply this principle to coatings. Through targeted structuring of the substrate and the coating matrix, water contact angles of 130 ° could be achieved. This hydrophobic surface consisted of a macrostructure superimposed by a microstructure. Unlike nature's model, the Rhenolease Lotuflon I system does not yet have a nanostructure.
Patent Rhenolease® Lotuflon II, 2011
A coating based on an inorganic hard material layer combined with an organic fluoropolymer coating to achieve superhydrophobic surfaces. The water contact angle (WKW) is <150 ° and the drainage angle is <10 °.
- very good non-stick properties
- excellent traction (eg: 400er, 900er, 12000er, 21000er series and Dragon Elite)
- low frictional resistance (eg: 200er, 300er and 21000er series)
- easy cleaning
- wear-resistant surface
