Dr Gio Fornell, VP Marketing & Sales at Picodeon Ltd Oy, comments “We are happy to bring our technology to Japan together with Altech Co, because of their deep technical expertise and their commitment tolong-term customer relations. We feel confident that Altech Co will successfully address the many application fields of Coldab® deposition technology, such as flat panel displys, fuel cells, automotive, superconductivity, etc.”

Picodeon’s Coldab® deposition technology provides the ultimate performance in terms of:

- Absolute adhesion

- New coating materials and new materials to becoated

- Coating on heat-sensitive material.

- Industrial-scale process, even roll-to-roll

The patented Picodeon Coldab®  laser technology is based on the Ultra-Short Pulsed Laser Deposition (USPLD) of thin films. The energy of a picoseconds laser pulse heats a spot of the coating material (target). There is little or no heat transfer to the rest of thetarget material. This is why this technique is called “cold ablation”. Thus our Coldab® laser deposition technology allows heat-sensitive materials, such as certain plastics and paper, to be coated at a low substrate temperature.
