PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition, is a high-performance vacuum coating process used to apply a thin, highly durable, and decorative metal layer onto stainless steel surfaces.
In a controlled high-vacuum environment, solid metal materials—such as titanium, zirconium, or chromium—are vaporized through sputtering or thermal evaporation. These vaporized particles then condense onto the stainless steel, bonding at the molecular level to the substrate. Reactive gases are added to create nitrides or oxides, producing vibrant, long-lasting colors.
The process typically follows these steps:
Each PVD/Color finish combines striking, uniform color with exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear durability, delivering a surface that’s as versatile and visually captivating as it is resilient.
Unlike paint, powder coat, or laminates, PVD is a molecular-level transformation rather than a surface coating. The result is a finish that:
In today’s design and fabrication landscape, clients are looking for materials that perform under pressure and make a visual impact.
