A PVD coating is known for its hard, wear resistant nature. The first PVD coatings were sold in the 1980s and made out of positively charged ions of metals. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings are environmentally friendly and coat decorative finishes on everything from household appliances to automotive trim. Small objects and appliances are typically rotated in a vacuum chamber so that the paint is applied and dried evenly. If you don't have access to a vacuum chamber and don't plan on investing in one, professional PVD coating services are widely available.

Before deciding on who can best handle your pvd coating services, consider the following:

1. Quality paint and PVD coating machines

2. PVD coating equipment

3. Professional PVD coating services

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy quality coatings to work in conjunction with PVD coating machines


The secret to good PVD coating process starts with the paint. Quality paint not only looks better but lasts much longer that discount paint. If you're looking for a deal on paint, the best bet is to ask the paint provider to cut you a deal for buying in bulk.

I recommend: Surface Solutions, Inc., boasts coatings that last ten times longer than their competitors. Go to Raymor Industries, Inc. for the finest in thermal powder and metallic coatings.

Peruse vendor lists for a variety of PVD coating equipment


A physical vapor deposition coating supplier will not only offer equipment but accessories and advice as well. You can make sure that they offer solid customer service by reading company profiles or contacting the companies with any questions you may have. And, you can do this through sites that list multiple vendors for any of your PVD coating needs.

I recommend: Compare up to 10 manufacturers for PVD coating equipment with ThomasNet. Register for free with GlobalSpec and get access to over 1,000 PVD equipment distributors.

Trust a PVD coating company to do a beautiful job for you


You can certainly rely on the world wide web to find reputable companies who handle PVD coating for you, but make sure you look at portfolios of some of their other clients. If they aren't readily available on company websites, ask for them. Make sure you also cover basics like how long the coating should last, how many coats will be applied to your product and what kind of finish you will end up with.

I recommend: PVD service provider ECLAT Industries, Inc., offers PVD coatings to the medical, aviation, automotive, electrical and optical film industries. Contact Advanced Coating for military, commercial and medical applications. Both companies are ISO certified.
