Thin-Film Deposition
/ˈTHinˌfilm depəˈziSH(ə)n/

noun:
A vacuum process using an energy source to vaporize material and deposit— atom by atom—an ultra-thin layer onto a part’s surface. The coating can change the component’s surface properties, including the color, wear resistance, and friction coefficient.

Physical Vapor Deposition Equipment Manufacturer

Headquartered in Colorado, Vapor Technologies, Inc., (VaporTech®) is one of the world’s leading physical vapor deposition (PVD) equipment manufacturers. Our equipment also produces diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) process. Our systems use patented cathodic arc and sputtering technologies. We work with clients of all sizes in a broad range of industries to produce some of the best coating systems in the world. Our support services include product integration, employee training, and factory warranty service.

Last, but perhaps most important, is our Coating Optimization Program. Our scientists optimize coating recipes to use with your new physical vapor deposition machine. We thoroughly test all recipes in-house to perfect their functional properties and appearance without impacting performance or critical dimensions.

The Benefits of In-House Vapor Deposition Equipment

A common misconception about purchasing PVD equipment from a manufacturer vs. using a third party for coating is that the cost of ownership is high and will negatively impact your profit margin. When you outsource, you must package, send, and wait to receive your finished products before repackaging for sale. That is assuming that the coating provider and shipping companies deliver on-time. In-house vapor deposition equipment is integrated directly into your manufacturing and QC process. This integration means you can measure coating costs per part in cents, not dollars.

Simplify

Simplify your supply chain process by coating your products in-house.

Reduce costs

Reduce manufacturing costs with a low coating cost per part.

Custom Colors

Develop new colors or functional coatings to differentiate your product from the competition.

Reduce impact

Reduce your environmental impact with a thin-film process that does not require hazardous chemicals.
