1 DIARC-Technology Oy Yritysesimerkki Sanna Tervakangas Horisontti 2020 Roadshow

2 DIARC-Technology Oy - Locates in Espoo, Finland - 15 empolyees (4 M.Sc., 5 B.Sc.) - Turnover 1,5 million (2012)

3 DIARC-Technology Oy DIARC-Technology is an expert in the field of coating technology and specialises in the development and manufacture of unique thin film coatings based on DIARC FCAPAD method developed by the company.

4 Continuous development Active research and development together with our customers keeps us in the front line of thin film material development.

5 Coating service DIARC offers smart surface solutions which directly improve competitiveness of the customers. Our products are - super low friction and high wear resistant amorphous diamond for tools, components and decoration - metal nitride and metal oxide coatings for tools, components and decoration - functional coatings for surface adaptation, advanced functionality and protection of surfaces.

6 DIARC - Partner in many EU projects - DIARC collaborates in EU projects together with other European companies, universities and research institutions - DIARC has participated in FP5, FP7, Matera, Matera+ and EFDA projects such as MICLUB, CORRAL, IC2, RODIN and Carbonbon - In addition DIARC has carried out several TEKES funded R&D projects.

7 CORRAL- Corrosion protection with perfect atomic layers The target of the project was to develop high density defect-free ultra thin sealing coatings with excellent barrier properties and improved corrosion resistance. Project duration participants from 8 countries 6 companies 6 universities 2 research institutes 7

8 Ultra thin sealing layers for corrosion protection Processing of controlled thin film layers of ta-c, metals and metal oxides with DIARC coating method for corrosion protection AISI 304 AISI 304+DIARC seling layer DIARC sealing layer protects AISI 304 from corrosion in sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution 8

9 IC2 - Intelligent and Customized Tooling The goal was to improve competitiveness of European tooling industry through development of new technologies and organizational and business models Project duration participants from 5 countries 10 companies 2 universities 4 research institutes 9

10 IC2 - Intelligent and Customized Tooling Main research goals Create new knowledge on ductility, adhesion, tribological, wear and thermo mechanical properties of coating layers on tool surfaces. Optimize surface roughness and coatings for improved tribological control. New micro and nano structured surface embedded sensors in tools, establishing new knowledge on the manufacturing of surface embedded sensors 10

11 IC2 - Intelligent and Customized Tooling Results for DIARC Based on the development work in IC2 DIARC has commercialized new coating solutions DIARC Senso, a novel thin film sensor material DIARC Cromo, a coating for plastic moulds which prevents the sticking of polymers and decreases the need of mould maintenance The network of IC2 will be utilized also in future projects 11

12 Rodin Suspended Graphene Nanostructures The target was to fabricate and to demonstrate a tunable graphene resonator with electronic readout Project Duration participants from 6 countries 12

13 Why DIARC participates in EU-projects? - Long term research and development, typically projects last 3 years - Increasing the knowhow -> competitiveness and renewal of the company - Benefit of the research resources (personnel and equipment) of the project partners. Especially important for an SME! - New international contacts - New customers - Funding, R&D 75%

14 How to get the the best possible benefit from the EU projects? - Follow the upcoming calls, discuss about possible project ideas with your existing network - Active involvement in the project planning, include needs which are important to your company - Get to know the partners skills and interests - Don t forget to use (and demand) the resources that the project partners offer. - Regular meetings are essential. Teleconferences are a good way to communicate between the official meetings - Positive attitude
