  • Current coating solution is costly & time consuming.
  • Exposure to water quickly causes degredation of performance.
  • Blade is not sufficiently lubricious.

Repellent Cutting Tool Coating Performance

Aculon® treatments for cutting tools are highly repellent to nearly all liquids, typically imparting initial water contact angles of around 120 degrees and oil contact angles around 90 degrees. After significant abrasion cycles, these contact angles are only slightly affected. This technology results in a stable hydrophobic and oleophobic coating that can be applied to nearly all metals.
