PVD coatings are generally considered food-safe due to their inert nature and strong adherence to substrates.
They are commonly used in the cutlery industry and on commercial kitchen equipment.
These coatings provide wear-resistant surfaces that can withstand significant wear and tear.
5 Key Points to Know About PVD Coating and Food Safety
1. Chemical Properties and Inertness
PVD coatings vary in their chemical properties, but most are chemically and biologically inert once applied.
This inertness is crucial for food safety as it ensures that the coating does not react with food substances or release any harmful chemicals.
2. Application in the Cutlery Industry
The use of PVD coatings in the cutlery industry, particularly for decorative and functional purposes, underscores their safety and durability.
These coatings are designed to resist wear and tear, which is essential for items that come into frequent contact with food.
3. Safety Post-Application
After the PVD coating process, the particles are firmly bonded together, preventing them from becoming airborne or posing a risk of inhalation.
The thin layers applied also mitigate the risk of inhalation.
This makes PVD coatings safe to be around once they have been applied.
4. Resistance to Tarnishing and Corrosion
PVD coatings, such as titanium nitride, offer beautiful finishes that are highly resistant to corrosion and wear.
This resistance is beneficial for items that may come into contact with various substances, including those found in food preparation and serving environments.
5. Environmental and Health Safety
PVD is considered a "green engineering" process due to its minimal production of contamination during processing.
It is a physical process that reduces the use of toxic substances compared to other chemical processes.
This environmental friendliness extends to its application in industries like surgical and medical implants, where purity and cleanliness are paramount.
