De Martin Group at the Winterthur Surface Day 2025
Between grip and glide - innovation in surface technology
Our Group Head of Research & Innovation, Dr.-Ing. Orlaw Massler, presented exciting perspectives on friction control using functionalised surfaces at the ZHAW's Winterthur Surface Day (WOT 2025).
<p
Under the title "Between grip and glide", he impressively demonstrated how innovative surface solutions contribute to conserving resources, increasing efficiency and sustainability - particularly in the context of the upcoming PFAS regulations.
Highlights of the presentation:
- Friction reduction as the key to energy efficiency
- PFAS substitution as a driver of innovation
- Multi-technological approaches: from BOOST LF to CrS coatings from our own innovation centre
- DIADEM® Grip with anchoring technology for secure joints
With our expertise in electroplating, electroless and dispersion processes, PVD/PACVD and organic & inorganic coatings, we at the De Martin Group develop customised solutions for greater durability, CO₂ reduction and cost savings.
A big thank you to the ZHAW for the platform and the inspiring exchange between research and industry!
