NTTF is a successful innovator and developer of high quality products: In the product sector of medical coatings we are known internationally for the development of biocompatible coatings, in the product sector of medical equiment we established with the development of innovativ medical equipment and in the product sector of radioactive materials we are involved in the development of an innovative method for the production of radioactive implants based on polymers that will be used against undesired proliferation. The Samurai sword- a legend of Japanese craft of blacksmithing. Until nowadays it is a symbol of unmatched precision and reliability. Many thousand times the steel was folded and forged. Therewith, layers of a few nm thickness could be created. NTTF also uses the craft of blacksmithing. However, we miniaturised the hammer: to the size of an atom, an Å. Building on the proven PVD technology new processes have been developed and put together in the NTTF-fÅrge-method. Therewith new fields of application in tool technology can be made accesible. Unique products with the following advantages arise: higher durability - less wearing, higher precision - less waste, higher productivity - reduced set-up time. The surface of a product decides its functionality: Friction, Wear or Bio-compatibility are decisive factors. The coating has to be customised for every device and the respective application. Hereby, the knowledge of structure and composition is essential. Extensive analytics guarantees the continuously high quality standard of our coatings. Specific new coating development can be made quickly. We have different instruments for the characterisation of surfaces with which you, and we, are able to learn more about the material characteristics of your products.
