1. Ion Plating Technology
Ion Plating is a physical vapour deposition (PVD) process involving
coating deposition under vacuum. This high value added technology can
be used for both decorative and functional applications.

Sol Gel Coating
Sol-gel is a process for making glass/ceramic or hybrid materials from a
colloidal suspension of silica particles which gelled to form a solid
coating. This process provides a simple, economic and environmental
friendly method to produce high quality coatings.
Antimicrobial Coating
 Metal based antimicrobial coating to inhibit growth of bacteria
 Antibacterial composite films suitable for surfaces of metals and
plastics
