Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST have developed a new dry coating process that reduces the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. The new process uses a plasma-activated coating process to create a nearly perfect coating on the surface of the material. The process is so efficient that it can be used to coat large surfaces with very little waste. The process is also gentle on the environment, as it uses far less energy than traditional wet coating processes.

  • The new process uses a plasma-activated coating process to create a nearly perfect coating on the surface of the material. The process is so efficient that it can be used to coat large surfaces with very little waste.
  • The process is also gentle on the environment, as it uses far less energy than traditional wet coating processes. This means that the manufacturing process has a smaller carbon footprint and produces less pollution.
  • The new process is already being used by some companies, and the Fraunhofer IST is working on making it available to more companies. This will help to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process even further.
