Add Value to Products with Functional or Decorative Coatings
VaporTech physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) thin-film coatings are designed to enhance the look, feel, function, and durability of your products. These coatings aren’t simply metal layers, they are compound materials that combine metal, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, or other elements into a coating that can be customized to be harder than case-hardened steel, be more scratch-resistant than hard chrome, and range in color from a rich black to an amazing choice of beautiful metallic shades. With coating thicknesses from nanometers to micrometers, high-tolerance parts can be coated with minimal effect on critical dimensions.
VT Decorative™
Improve the durability, appearance, and value of your product with beautiful metallic coatings in a wide range of materials and custom colors to match your requirements.
VT Functional™
Are functional specifications such as wear rate, friction, hardness, toughness, or heat resistance critical to the success of your product? VaporTech can help.
VT Diamond™
VaporTech diamond-like carbon finishes can be customized as either decorative or functional coatings with amazing durability and colors from graphite to black.
The clean alternative to hexavalent (Cr+6) chrome plating
Chromium is often used to create a desirable chrome finish. However, for many manufacturers, the cost, complexity, and toxic byproducts of traditional hexavalent chrome plating overshadow aesthetics. Replacing hexavalent chrome with another plating process often produces a surface finish with compromised durability or appearance. VaporTech thin-film deposition systems can deposit chrome with none of the toxic byproducts that must be managed with electroplated chrome.
DID YOU KNOW?
VaporTech thin-film systems can deposit finishes that are up to
3x
harder than plated chrome.
