PVD coating is generally considered safe for use on cutlery.
It is food-safe and provides a wear-resistant surface.
The coatings are often chemically and biologically inert, making them suitable for contact with food.
PVD coatings are environmentally friendly compared to traditional metal coating processes, reducing the use of toxic substances.
1. Food Safety of PVD Coatings
PVD coatings are widely used in the cutlery industry due to their strong adherence to the substrate and their inert nature.
These properties ensure that the coatings do not react with food substances, maintaining their integrity and safety.
Most PVD finishes are designed to be food-safe, offering a durable surface that can withstand significant wear and tear.
This is crucial for cutlery that undergoes regular use and cleaning.
2. Environmental and Health Safety
PVD coating processes are considered environmentally friendly.
They produce fewer toxic waste products compared to traditional metal coating methods like electroplating or electroless plating.
This reduction in harmful byproducts makes PVD a safer choice not only for the environment but also for the health of those involved in the manufacturing process.
The low processing temperature of PVD (around 500 °C) helps in forming compressive stress, which prevents crack formation and expansion.
This enhances the safety and durability of the coating.
3. Versatility and Durability
PVD coatings are versatile, offering a range of finishes that are resistant to tarnishing, corrosion, and wear.
This makes them ideal for various applications beyond cutlery, including decorative finishes on watches, door handles, plumbing fixtures, and marine equipment.
The superior hardness and durability of PVD coatings ensure that they maintain their integrity over time, even under harsh conditions.
