UV Vacuum Metalizing — A Manufacturer’s Guide to Process, Finishes and Quality Control
What Is UV Vacuum Metalizing UV vacuum metalizing — sometimes called vacuum aluminium metalizing or simply “vacuum plating” — is a surface finishing process that deposits a micro-thin layer of evaporated metal onto a substrate inside a vacuum chamber, then protects it with a UV-cured clear coat. The result is a bright, mirror-like metallic surface […]
What Is PVD Coating
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. It is a vacuum coating technology that deposits a thin layer of metal onto a substrate, producing finishes such as gold, rose gold, black titanium, gun metal and chrome — without the environmental drawbacks of conventional wet electroplating. In a sealed vacuum chamber, a target material (typically titanium, zirconium […]
