PVD COATING: PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION

PVD – Physical Vapor Deposition – is a coating technology that allows depositing of a thin film onto many different kinds of base materials. During the process, different metals which can be deposited - like titanium, zirconium, and chrome – evaporate in a vacuum atmosphere. Due to kinetic energy and a potential difference between the products, ions move on the surface where they condense creating the desired coating.
The metal film is obtained by a complete physical process and therefore possesses higher technical characteristics than any other chemical or electro-chemical process. PVD coating is particularly recommended for all those innovative quality products which require high chemical and technical features (resistance to abrasion, scratches, and corrosion) and at the same time offers a wide choice of chromatic colors.

PVD COATINGS FOR DECORATIVE APPLICATIONS

PVD coatings, with a layer thickness in between 0,2mm and 2 mm, presents exceptional aesthetical features as well as it guarantees a very long life for the durability.
EXCEPTIONAL SUPERFICIAL HARDNESS (1000¸2500HV)
HIGH WEAR AND ABRASION RESISTANCE
RESISTANCE TO UV RAY EXPOSURE
RESISTANCE TO SOLVENTS, ACIDS, ALKALI and most of the Household cleaning products.
RESISTANCE TO HUMAN SWEAT
ECOLOGICAL: PVD process is environmentally friendly because is non-polluting.
CORROSION RESISTANCE superior to any other surface treatment.
Decorative PVD coatings can be used in different appliance areas, for example: door and window hardware (handle, locks), writing components, surgical equipment, furniture accessories, glass and ceramics objects, nautical accessories, mobile telephone accessories, illuminating engineering components, automotive components, fashion accessories, sports accessories, glasses and watch cases, kitchen accessories, flatware, costume jeweler, etc.
