Under the surface
The PR18 Series incorporates proprietary MEGACOAT NANO EX coating technology, setting a new standard for wear resistance and durability. By using a unique double lamination technique with special nano multi-layers for abrasion, wear, and heat resistance, this coating surpasses conventional grades, delivering superior performance and extending the lifespan of the tools.
The key to the PR18 Series' success lies in its ability to protect against wear and abrasion like no other. With excellent oxidation resistance and a higher coating toughness, PR18 suppresses crack growth and remains tougher longer. This results in prolonged tool life, reducing the need for frequent tool changes in the middle of your production runs. With enhanced wear resistance and durability, milling operations can be extended longer while maintaining precision and surface finish, ultimately improving productivity and efficiency.
