Competitive consumer goods

The market demands high-quality yet consistently low-priced consumer goods. Competitive pressure and stricter product liability regulations are forcing manufacturers to take all possible steps to increase productivity and improve quality.

Whether brown or white goods, telecommunications or office equipment or sport and leisure goods, most of what we pick up and use is made of metal or plastic. BALINIT� coated tools deliver obvious advantages in both productivity and quality, and generate crucial cost benefits in the manufacture of any of these products. In addition, BALINIT� coatings offer sustainable improvements wherever friction, wear or corrosion impair the operation and service life of components used in consumer goods and appliances.

Producing consumer goods more economically

The examples of where the manufacture of consumer goods has benefited from the use of BALINIT�-coated tools are as varied as the products themselves in the industry. Profitability and quality in cutting, punching and forming processes, die casting and plastic injection moulding, can be increased significantly by using this coating.

Improving the service life and performance of consumer goods

The BALINIT� coating enables optimisation of the components in consumer goods and appliances to give a more compact and light-weight design while extending service life and improving reliability.
