Why PVD?

Superior technology equals a superior quality of finish.

PVD coatings benefits are many. PVD can provide a lifetime of protection from daily cleaning, which adds durability and value to your product. Traditional electroplating of brass, nickel, and gold finishes require a clear coat that degrade with time and can easily tarnish or corrode. PVD requires no clear top coats that fade or dull. It is four times harder than chrome which makes it corrosion and scratch resistant.

Our PVD coatings have been shown to surpass 1200 hours of neutral salt spray and over 150 hours CASS on electroplated brass.
