The process of producing a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition coating to decrease the coefficient of friction on a surface is possible with plasma processing. This reduction of surface friction can be made with PTFE like, HMDSO and carbon plasma deposited treatments. The process of using carbon as a low friction coating is the lowest cost of these coatings. This simple, low-cost process is often used in coating elastomeric seals and O-rings to produce a condition where these components are easier to handle, and vibratory bowl feed in high volume manufacturing. This method of using dry lubrication on seals also increases wear resistance and minimizes abrasion.
