1. INTRODUCTION

“Plasma” ltd. Centre for Plasma Technologies is a SME located in Skopje area, Republic of Macedonia, that was established in march 2004 from four  founders. The CEO of PLASMA is Dr. Ilija Nasov.  PLASMA numbers 10 employees   (2 PhD, 6 engineers and 2 additional staff members and fourth external scientific collaborators ).

PLASMA employs contemporary and fully ecological, vacuum-plasma equipments and technologies:
   - Ion Pulsing Nitriding, Nitrocarburizing (Carbonitriding)
   - PVD super hard coatings from metals or alloys (TiN, TiO,TiC, Ti(CN),TiCrN,TiO2, TiAlN, ZrN, Al, AlO,Al2O3 etc.).The coatings can be decorative, functional or industrial on metals, ceramics, glass or plastics.
   - Ecological galvanic coatings on Al, Cu, brass, Mg, plastics, glass etc.

PLASMA can provide production of PVD sputtered selective coatings for absorbers for hot water solar collectors. The coatings are based on Titanium composites with other metals and gas ions. The coatings reveal high absorption coefficient and very low reflectivity and emissivity. The coatings showed high resistivity to corrosion and thermal stress.
