CERAtex

Ceramic systems – Surface enhancing technology

Greater design flexibility for plastic injection moulding: Eschmann Textures has an innovative technology CERAtex which enables different designs to be produced from the same tool. In conventional production methods the tool determines how the structure looks. Things are different with this process: By applying a heat-resistant, almost wear-free ceramic coating to the tool surface, plastic components can be produced in a very wide range of different looks. This provides you with a completely new level of flexibility that gives you an extra dimension of design creativity. CERAtex adds a ceramic coating to create the surface texture.

This technology enables users to enhance an almost infinite range of products by adding customised surface textures. This ceramic process facilitates true-to-original design reproduction at unbeatably short reproduction lead times. CERAtex can be removed at any time from the tool without leaving residues and be re-applied without the need for additional polishing, modified wall thicknesses or similar.
