| 1£® What is PVD coating? |
Physical Vapor Deposition, or PVD, is a term used to describe a family of thin-film coating processes that are applied under vacuum conditions (10-2 to 10-4 Torr). These processes involve the generation of positively charged ions of various metals. These metal ions react with gas ions that are introduced into the chamber in order to create various compositions and colors. The parts to be coated are given a negative bias in order to attract the positively charged ions. The result is a very strong mechanical bond between the coating and the tool.

| 2£®Where are the most applicable sectors for Decorative PVD coating? |
Decorative coatings are applied on high standard hardware, including door locks, bath ware, lighting fixtures, Marine hardware, jewelry, and art products etc. The recently booming demand for applying PVD coating on electronic products is also emerging.
|
|
| 3£®What is the future of PVD coated products? |
In fact, a lot of world's leading kitchen and bath ware product manufacturers have already stopped using electric plating surface treatment and switched to PVD coating technologies. The demand for PVD coated hardware is very large. China's hardware product suppliers enjoys low costs, through PVD coating treatments, the value of these product can increase dramatically, thus increases the final prices and margins these suppliers can charge and receive.
|
|
| 4£®Are all hardware materials suitable for PVD coating? |
The majority of metal and non-metal materials can be treated with PVD coating. For a perfect example, PVD coating finish on stainless steel is brilliant. For other easy rusting materials like brass, zinc alloy, it will require electric plating before it can be PVD coated to achieve perfect results.

| 5£®What are the advantages and characteristics of PVD film? |
1. Rich color choices, smooth surface, bright color and lifetime guarantee on color appearance.
2. Scratch resistance, effective to protect from surface damages when contacting with hard and sharp objects.
3. Broad applications, superior adhesion with base material.
4. New environmental friendly surface coating technology ¨C A real pollution free solution.
5. We can custom blend colors to meet special requirements.
6. Economical: saving you the cost and time for polishing and cleaning the surface comparing to other type of coatings. It only requires a clean cloth and Windex when cleaning is required.

|
| 7£®What advantages does PVD have comparing to traditional electric plating? |
1.Because PVD deposits metals in a vacuum chamber, it is a dry process. As a result, PVD does not produce metal-laden rinse waters or metal vapors that are normally associated with processes like electroplating. Further, the cleaning step used by Vanguard is an aqueous alkaline process that entails high-purity rinse waters. As a result, the impact of our cleaning line is virtually no impact at all. Accordingly, PVD is an environmentally compliant process.
2.Will not tarnish, oxidize, discolor, peel or crack in harsh sun, salty, humid or city environments and maintains its luxurious appearance for years.
3.Good adhesion, can be bent 90 degrees without cracking or flaking.
