Black & Chrome PVD Coatings for a Modern Feel

Quick answers

• VaporTech systems produce the colors consumers want today.
• Black PVD coatings are perfect for home hardware (faucets and showerheads), sports equipment, medical devices, automotive parts, and other consumer products. 
• VaporTech chrome PVD coatings offer the same color and properties as plated chrome, without the chemicals.

Dark black coatings for a modern aesthetic

Consumers love deep, dark black coatings. However, dark black PVD coatings have proven difficult to reproduce in PVD processes. Some methods for creating black produce coatings are unstable, have a yellowish tint, and are prone to discoloration. Black PVD coatings are perfect for a broad range of products, including home hardware, plumbing, sports equipment, firearms, medical devices, automotive components, and other consumer products. Our black and ZrOC by VaporTech, as well as other black PVD finishes, enhance your product's visual appeal while providing durable protection. Our PVD coating systems allow you to produce rich black products

VT Chrome PVD coatings provide the same color and properties as plated chrome.

VaporTech chromium finishes are visually identical to traditional chrome plating. PVD-deposited chromium-based coatings offer equal or better abrasion resistance. Adding elements such as nitrogen (CrN) or nitrogen and carbon (CrCN) provides a hard, wear-resistant base layer.

VaporTech vacuum deposition systems for color PVD coatings.

Vapor Technologies (VaporTech) builds, installs, and maintains right-sized, right-priced vacuum coating systems. We design and assemble our vapor deposition equipment in Longmont, Colorado. With a VaporTech PVD coating system, you get an environmentally friendly process and the ability to deposit various PVD colors and functional finishes on many parts and products.

VaporTech VTi-Series PVD coating machines use a unique, centrally mounted coating source with optional magnetron sputtering in the VT-1500™ system. (See "Sputtering vs. Cathodic Arc: Which Physical Vapor Deposition Process Should You Use?")

 The equipment is available in several capacities and has a small footprint, making it easy to integrate.
