Innovative Technology
Our proprietary PVD-based (PVD – Physical Vapour Deposition) thin-film coating technology for particles – or rather their powder materials – is worldwide unique. This stems from its innovative, partly disruptive but first of all from its highly economical character.
In this regard, the patented CPC technology (Cyclo Particle Coating) forms the core of our globally positioned company.
Highly efficient
Cost-efficient technology for industrial utilization
Sustainably
Vacuum-based and environmentally friendly coating methods
Innovative
New material properties thanks to highest qualities of layer and interface
New materials
It is our goal to put forth new powder materials for the benefit of our industrial customers. With our CPC technology it is possible to produce dense and homogeneous specific layer thicknesses of a few nanometers. Due to the supreme qualities of both layer and interface the resulting materials stand out from the state of the art and promise improved or completely new material properties.
In addition to that, the vacuum-based method consequently entails that the application is extremely sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Expert for solutions
On the basis of a very good and unique understanding of processes in theory and practice, our team developed and manufactured the coating system and software environment in-house. This knowledge is combined with an extremely good understanding at material level. All of the above give pomodoi a strong innovative character that goes far beyond the very sophisticated and technologically advanced mechanical and systems engineering.
Our expertise lies within the field of highly efficient material application of the thinnest inorganic nanometer functional layers on a wide variety of powder media.
This incorporates our enormous competitive advantage by finding industrial solutions in rather complex technical environments.
Industrial application - an example
Our innovative CPC technology has applications in many industries. In addition to utilization in fuel cells, hydrogen production, metallurgy, 3D printing, metallic coatings, cosmetics, and the pharmaceutical industry, there is also a significant market in the automotive industry. The latter is in huge demand for the increase of the range of electric vehicles, the minimization of their charging times, and the reduction of costs. Ideally this comes with using materials in a very sustainable and environmentally conscious way.
The reduction of contact resistances in a cell and the electrochemical stabilization of the surfaces of electrode powder materials are of great interest. Another aim is to meet the customer’s demand for improved value chains in terms of using more environmentally friendly solvents.
Layers that are applied sufficiently thin, dense layer structures, as well as interfaces of the highest quality and purity are very beneficial. Up to now, conventional coating technologies have merely been able to apply layers in an extremely unspecific manner. Apart from that the coating rates of alternative modern thin-film concepts are currently too low – and therefore very expensive.
As of today, our patented CPC technology provides a process for the functionalization of particles from powder media. It enables an innovative coating technology for battery applications and has the potential to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of battery systems.
