Micromy is a hard surface coating company based in TÃÆ'äby, Sweden. The company specializes in applying hard coating to a wide range of substrate materials using PVD process (physical vapor deposition). Depending on the application, different coating film materials may be produced, such as TiN (Titanium nitride), TiC, TiNC (gray, anthracite, black), AlTiN (purple, black) or DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This coating is mainly used for industrial applications based on different material properties. However, the PVD process produces a solution so that many coatings are equally suited for decorative purposes.
In addition to their production, Micromy also conducts research at the TÃÆ'äby facility. One of their research applications is a new surface layer called micronite . Compared with conventional PVD coatings, microns have tremendous tribological and corrosive properties.
The coatings offered by Micromy include approved coatings for medical use under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. As such, they are suitable for sensitive applications such as implants or drugmaking parts where biocompatibility is a requirement or where abrasive residues must be strictly controlled.
Micromy offers a low temperature variant of the PVD process that makes it applicable to metal objects that are vulnerable to heat deformation, or even polymeric materials.
Although most income is generated from contract work on customer objects or substrates, Micromy also offers a small portfolio of their own articles. The most famous are their ultra-sharp clippers (both surgical scissors and haircut scissors/barber scissors). They also produce some jewelry.
