Have you ever wondered how some things around you get their shiny and colourful surface? Well, the answer is PVD coating!
PVD, which stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, is a process of depositing a super thin layer of material to stainless steel surfaces, which makes them not only look better but also enhances their quality. It's a great way to make your stainless steel surfaces shiny and durable.
All that glitters are not Gold….. It might be PVD coated
What is PVD Coating?
PVD Coating Process
To start the PVD coating process, the product to be coated is cleaned and placed inside a vacuum chamber. Then, a source material (usually a metal) is heated until it evaporates and becomes a vapor. The vapor then reacts with the surface of the product, forming a forming a strong bond with them.
There are different methods of PVD coating, such as sputtering, evaporation, and arc deposition. But they all follow the same basic principle of depositing a thin film of material onto a product.

The thickness of the coating can be controlled by adjusting the deposition rate and the time the product is exposed to the vapour.
The resulting coating is typically very thin, measured in microns (millionths of a metre). But it can significantly improve the surface properties of your products. If you want your favorite jewellery to last longer and look better, PVD coating is just what you need!
PVD coating can protect the surface of an object from damage, including wear and tear, corrosion, and scratches. Your objects will last longer and require less maintenance over time.
Protection
PVD coating can enhance the appearance of an object by giving it a more polished, matte, or metallic finish. PVD coating can give a better aesthetic appeal to your jewellery, watches, furniture and light fittings.
Aesthetics
PVD coating can make an object more resistant to environmental factors, including heat, chemicals, and moisture. Your objects will be less likely to crack, warp, or fade over time.
Resistance
PVD coating can improve the lubrication of an object, making it easier to clean and reducing friction between moving parts. This can make your products work better and last longer.
Lubrication
PVD coatings are kind to the environment. They don't use bad chemicals or make any harmful byproducts. They also use less energy and produce less waste than old-fashioned ways of putting coatings on things.
Eco-friendliness
PVD coatings are even all over and feel the same. They have the right thickness, smoothness, and colour, making them consistent even in hard-to-reach areas or on tricky shapes.
