Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is generally considered safe due to its environmentally friendly nature and the absence of toxic substances typically associated with other plating techniques. The process involves the physical transformation of materials without producing new substances, making it less polluting. Once applied, PVD coatings are safe as the particles are firmly bonded and not prone to becoming airborne.
Environmental and Health Safety: PVD processes are favored for their reduced use of toxic substances compared to traditional wet processes. This reduction minimizes the environmental impact and the risks associated with handling and disposing of hazardous materials. The process is particularly beneficial in industries like surgical and medical implants, where purity and cleanliness are paramount.
Process Safety: During the PVD process, materials are vaporized and then condensed on a substrate to form a thin film. This process does not involve chemical reactions that could produce harmful byproducts. After the application, the chamber is purged with an inert gas to remove any residual vapors, further enhancing the safety of the process.
Post-Application Safety: Once the PVD coating is applied, it is safe to be around. The particles are securely bonded, reducing the risk of them becoming airborne and posing a health hazard. The thin layers applied also minimize the risk of inhalation, ensuring safety post-application.
In summary, PVD coatings are safe both during and after application, making them a preferred choice for industries requiring high standards of environmental and health safety.
