Physical vapor deposition (PVD) describes deposition methods used to deposit thin films by the condensation of a vaporized form of the desired film material (e.g. aluminum, chrome) onto the substrate surfaces (e.g., automotive plastic parts).
The coating method involves physical processes such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation with subsequent condensation, or plasma sputter bombardment. Includes: thermal, sputtering and cathodic arc deposition.
It is based only on two-layer decorative coating for Automotive Interior/Exterior Parts. Substrate + UV-Base Coat + SUPERCHROME PVD Coating:
- No top coat necessary
- Possibility to apply on different plastics and metal alloys
- Several UV-cured base coats (Mankiewicz) for different SUPERCHROME PVD Coating finishes tested and approved
- No corrosion risk, excellent adhesion, thermal stability and humidity resistance
- Can be altered in appearance to achieve certain design effects (bright/medium/dark Chrome)
- Environmentally compatible alternative to galvanic Chrome (REACH – conform)
- SUPERCHROME PVD Coating meets major test requirements for automotive interior and exterior parts.
- Complete elimination of oven drying
- Low VOC
- CYCON® UV coatings are fully cured within seconds
- Coated components attain their specification-compliant properties, with very good mechanical and chemical resistance values
- Requires less production floor space
- Shorter processing saves energy and investment costs
- Excellent surface for support and adhesion of PVD coatings
