Decorative applications
Decorative coatings are brand critical and need to communicate the right quality, as well as consistent color in line with the product and brand look and feel.
An optimal decorative coating not only needs to follow design criteria but also needs to provide durability and protection against wear and scratching, and a precisely controlled finish.
Decorative coatings made by PVD provide superior quality with color consistency, significantly increased wear resistance, and when needed, added coating functionality specifically engineered for the end-application. This makes PVD common for premium products, such as in quality eyewear and for high-quality watches.
Colored PVD finishes on metal products are typically hard and scratch-resistant ceramic coatings, where the color is determined by the chemical composition and microstructure of the coating material. The primary coating methods are reactive magnetron sputtering and arc evaporation.
Impact Coatings provides a broad range of colors qualified for volume production, including a unique deep black (L<30 in CIELAB color space).
For premium products, noble metal coatings for decorative purposes can be a good fit. We provide customized high-purity gold coating with its distinct and attractive appearance, characterized by rich, golden or platinum hues and high luster.
Gold deposited by PVD is durable and resistant to wear, scratches, and tarnishing and produced without chemical exposure and toxic waste spillage.
