PVD is one of the most effective method for modifying and improving surface features in terms of aesthetic appearance, mechanical properties and durability PVD is resistant to high temperatures and abrasion stresses, typically eliminating the need for additional protective top layers
Large variety of coatings for many applications
Possibility of depositing different type of materials: organic, inorganic, conductive, not conductive on a wide range of substrates and surfaces. Original surface finishing is preserved
More than one technique (co-deposition/hybrid processes) can be used in the same batch to get all the advantages offered from the merging of the best property of the coating
100% Ecofriendly, compared to other coating technologies. PVD is therefore replacing galvanic technology in many production processes, but it is also an excellent match to add color or extra resistance to electroplating (galvanic) or painting techniques
