PVD coatings are generally safe for piercings, as they offer a durable, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic surface. The process of PVD coating involves depositing a thin layer of material onto the surface of an object, creating a strong bond at the atomic level. This results in a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish that is resistant to wear, scratches, and corrosion.
The PVD process is environmentally friendly and reduces the use of toxic substances compared to traditional plating methods. This makes it a preferred choice for the surgical and medical implant industry, further indicating its safety for use in piercings. PVD-coated jewelry can last for 3 years or more with everyday wear, significantly longer than electroplated jewelry.
There are two main PVD methods used for jewelry: sputtering and cathodic-arc. Sputtering is the most commonly used method due to its suitable temperature range for various materials, while the cathodic-arc method is less used because it involves extremely high temperatures that may not be suitable for all materials.
In summary, PVD coatings are safe for piercings due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties. The environmentally friendly PVD process results in a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish, making it a popular choice for jewelry and other applications.
