Coating Automotive Products, Internal Engine Components, Trim, & Motorcycle Parts
VaporTech® PVD equipment and coatings improve the function and durability of high-performance engine components and create an upscale look for auto and motorcycle interiors and trim.
Engine Component Coating
We custom-design VaporTech VT-Functional™ PVD coatings to make your critical components last longer, operate more efficiently due to lower friction, withstand high temperatures, and resist corrosion. Our finishes, deposited by our VaporTech coating systems are not just metal but new materials made by reacting chromium, titanium, zirconium, or other metals with oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon. A VT-Functional coating can improve the hardness and durability of even the hardest, heat-treated steel. Our black and chrome-alternative options make trim look great, too.
Common VT Functional coatings include, but are not limited to:
Chromium Nitride (CrN coatings)
Zirconium Nitride
Titanium Nitride (TiN coatings)
Titanium Carbide
Titanium CarboNitride
Titanium Aluminum Nitride
Automotive & Motorcycle Trim
Chrome : VaporTech coating systems are a safe alternative to hexavalent chrome auto trim. The PVD process can deposit a pure chromium coating to your parts. The addition of elements such as nitrogen can also produce even more durable chrome alternatives such as chromium nitride (CrN) that significantly improve performance in high-wear applications. To avoid environmental impact, improve worker safety, and reduce costs, our PVD chrome coating process provides a simple, reliable coating alternative that is by its nature beautiful, durable, and safe.
Black trim: Applying black metallic coatings has historically been extremely difficult because there are no naturally occurring black ceramic or metallic materials.
The VaporTech® PVD True Black™ coating [link to blog post] eliminates these issues. It is not only visually impressive but also adds a durable layer of protection to parts and products. True Black finish produces a pure, neutral, long-lasting black that adds durability to car and motorcycle trim.
