Airbus qualifies Oerlikon Balzers’ high-end coating system for REACH-compliant component coatings using BALINIT C

By April 27, 2020 4:25 pm IST

Oerlikon Balzers, one of a leading provider of surface solutions, has received qualification from Airbus for its RS 50 coating system, which uses the latest carbon coating technology. The RS 50 is located in Ferrières-en-Brie near Paris, a major Aerospace certified production facility of Oerlikon Balzers. The coating system has been selected and approved by Airbus to secure REACH-compliant PVD coatings with BALINIT C.

The RS 50 coating system is capable of producing BALINIT C coatings according to AIPS 02-04-007 Airbus specification. BALINIT C, a non-hazardous and REACH-compliant alternative to hard chrome plating, is a coating applied to aerospace components made of steel, titanium and various alloys that helps reduce surface fatigue, withstand wear, and high loads, whilst being lightweight and exhibiting low-friction.

“We are very pleased that Oerlikon Balzers’ RS 50 coating system meets the Airbus technical and industrial requirements and has been qualified to secure the supply chain for REACH-compliant PVD coatings of the company’s aerospace coatings,” says Toby Middlemiss, Global Aerospace & Defence Segment Manager at Oerlikon Balzers. “We greatly appreciate the trust Airbus has placed in us over the years and we will continue to offer state-of-the-art coating services based on the latest coating technologies and equipment, such as the RS 50, for decades to come.”

Long-standing partnership with Airbus
