The AL400 system is a new plasma-enhanced, chemical-vapor-deposition (PECVD) instrument designed for the deposition of a smooth coating on rubber and elastomeric surfaces. The low-coefficient-of-friction coating reduces tackiness and drag of rubber and elastomeric surfaces, and can repel lint and other contaminants on silicone components. Coating thickness is typically less than one micron, and has no effect on the bulk properties of the coated material. The PECVD system is clean-room compatible and available in a table-top version or with a free-standing enclosure. — Plasmatech Inc., Erlanger, Ky.
