Sustainability is an obligation
Oerlikon Balzers Coating is committed to the principles of sustainability. The
development of the company and its business is governed by economic,
ecological and social aspects.
Oerlikon Balzers Coating products combine economic and ecological benefits in an ideal
way. Coated tools and components provide a measurable economic benefit
and reduce the environmental impact in a number of ways:
| • |
The use of coolants, lubricants and release agents and their consequent disposal are minimised or avoided completely.
|
| • |
The longer service life of tools and consequent higher manufacturing
quality reduce rejects and the consumption of valuable raw materials. |
| • |
In motor vehicles, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions are reduced by the use of BALINIT®-coated components. |
| • |
Coated components extend the service life of machines and lead to
longer service intervals, diminishing the consumption of valuable
resources. |
Oerlikon Balzers Coating coating processes are very environmentally friendly and their
ecological compatibility is continually being improved. Unlike other
surface treatment processes, they produce no polluting emissions or
waste products.
As a company with world-wide activities and a member of the Unaxis
Group, Oerlikon Balzers Coating supports the guidelines defined by the UN in the Global
Compact project for the promotion of environmental protection, human
rights, and labour standards.
