PVD vacuum plated coatings are renowned for their resistance to tarnishing.
These coatings provide a protective layer that is highly resistant to corrosion and wear.
PVD coatings are designed to last longer, even when scratched, compared to standard gold plating.
When a gold-plated product is scratched, it reveals the base material, but a PVD-coated product maintains its appearance.
PVD coatings are also waterproof, sweat-resistant, and resistant to regular wear.
They can withstand exposure to water and moisture without tarnishing.
This makes PVD coatings suitable for a wide range of applications, including jewelry, watches, household items, and machining tools.
To clean PVD-coated products, use a soft cloth and mild soap with water.
Avoid harsh chemicals, tarnish or rust removal products, bleach, and scouring pads, as they may damage the coating.
The hardness of PVD coatings can vary depending on the specific type of coating used.
For example, a lifetime Brass finish with a Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) coating has a hardness of 2800 Vickers or HRc-80.
Proper care and maintenance can significantly prolong the lifespan of PVD-plated stainless steel items.
Routine cleaning with mild soap and warm water is recommended.
Store these products separately and away from other jewelry or anything that may cause scratches.
Avoid activities that may subject PVD-plated goods to excessive wear or impact, such as strenuous physical exercises or heavy-duty tasks, to extend their lifespan.
Overall, PVD coatings offer superior wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, low friction, excellent adhesion, and a brilliant decorative finish.
The coating is hard, durable, and resistant to chipping, tarnishing, and fading.
It requires low maintenance and is considered an environmentally friendly process.
