FAQs on the our PVD plant
PVD technology allows surface finishes that cannot be obtained with the galvanic method, thus offering greater versatility in terms of finishes and applications.
The PVD coating thickness varies between 0.4 and 3 µm.
Yes, PVD finishes guarantee high resistance to chemical agents and detergents, protecting treated surfaces from chemical wear.
Our systems designed to apply precious metal finishes can accommodate items up to 80 cm in length and 15 cm in diameter. Other finishes can be applied to items with a maximum lateral size of 30 cm.
In special cases, it is possible to exceed these dimensions following the development of custom frames. Minimum dimensions, on the other hand, depend on the ability to secure the pieces to the frames, but there is no strict lower limit.
It depends on the process: from 5 days for direct PVD to 9 days for combinations with sandblasting or galvanic treatment.
Yes, the finishes can be customized in terms of color, texture, and resistance, adapting to the client’s design requirements.
Absolutely. Our machinery is specifically designed to ensure uniformity even on intricate and small-sized objects.
