Date:11/24/2008

ASCOT, England, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- E6 Ventures has agreed to participate in the next round of funding in Diamond Hard Surfaces Ltd. Set up in 2005 by its chief technical officer, Sergey Aleksandrov, Diamond Hard Surfaces is a high technology company that has developed a low temperature process to create thick amorphous diamond-like carbon coatings applicable in a broad range of wear-related applications in a number of industrial sectors.

"We were impressed with the properties which Diamond Hard Surfaces' material offered, since it puts the company in a unique space in the coatings sector. We are very excited about the opportunities this presents," says Brendon Grunewald, Head of E6 Ventures on its investment. "We are investing in this round alongside the company's original backers, Oxford Technologies Management Venture Capital Trusts, who have been actively involved in the company since its inception." This venture capital trust fund specialises in investing in the start up and early stage technology sector.

Technology with broad application

The company's technology has been protected by patent and the manufacturing process has been developed in the company's laboratory facilities. Diamond Hard Surfaces' unique diamond-like coating material has properties of lower wear, high hardness and an extremely low coefficient of friction. Applying the Adamant(TM) coating to other materials gives extended life in high temperature, chemically aggressive and abrasive environments.

The low temperature process allows the coating of a range of substrates from steel to thermoplastics to give components such as bearings and valves, for example, reduced friction, enhanced wear resistance and load carrying characteristics over and above traditional materials and other coated surfaces. Currently Diamond Hard Surfaces produce three distinct grades of coating. Each is suitable for different applicat
