- ICS - Innovative Coating Solutions at #PSE2026 in Erfurt! 🇩🇪 Another great day at PSE 2026 – Plasma Surface Engineering in Erfurt, bringing together the international plasma and surface engineering community. We were particularly proud to see Driélle Müller, our specialist in powder treatment for battery applications, present part of her PhD work during an oral presentation on the plasma treatment of carbon nanotubes. Plasma processing of powders opens up exciting possibilities for tailoring surface properties while
- LiThinovate – Kick-off! We are proud to officially launch LiThinovate, a strategic COOTECH project led by AGC Glass Europe, with ICS - Innovative Coating Solutions as the industrial technology partner. The project addresses a key challenge for next-generation batteries: how to manufacture high-quality metallic lithium anodes in a cost-efficient and scalable way. LiThinovate will combine thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering to develop thin, homogeneous and resource-efficient lithium coatings with precisely controlled
- Another optical coating challenge, another opportunity to put our know-how to work. 🔬✨ ICS - Innovative Coating Solutions was proud to support Topcare Laserwork and Olivier Tordeurs, a certified expert in the servicing and maintenance of optical equipment, accredited for renowned companies such as AATON, ARRI, Angénieux, Cooke Optics, Fujinon CCTV & Machine Vision Lenses and Binoculars, Europe, Leitz Cine GmbH and ZEISS Group. This time, the challenge was to restore two sets of Pechan prisms whose original coating no longer
- Another day, another element! 🚀 This time, we’re working with MoS₂ (molybdenum disulfide), exploring its potential for aerospace applications through advanced PVD coating technologies at ICS - Innovative Coating Solutions. A special thanks to robeko GmbH & Co. KG for supplying the MoS₂ target. Looking forward to seeing where this material takes us! 🛰️ #ICS #InnovativeCoatingSolutions #MoS2 #MolybdenumDisulfide #PVD #ThinFilms #Aerospace #Coatings #AdvancedMaterials

Join us in welcoming Valentin Goffinet, who officially joined ICS earlier this week! 👏 Valentin brings with him a strong background in thin film deposition and R&D, making him a fantastic addition to our growing team of coating specialists! He will be working on the development of 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 for demanding applications in the 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 sectors, helping us
- Presentation completed at the 40th Şişecam International Glass Conference! Congratulations to Jérôme for his presentation this afternoon on the optimization of Low-E glass coatings, combining genetic algorithms, 3D atomic-scale film growth modelling, and reactive magnetron sputtering simulations to create a true digital twin of the deposition process. The objective? To maintain the optical and low-emissivity performance of Low-E glass while reducing the consumption of silver, a critical raw material. Through simulation, we
