Guide to Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Coatings

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.
