SPUTTERING: THE NEW FRONTIER OF CHROME PLATING
__
SPARKLE
C
Also called 'clean chrome plating', sputtering is a process that combines PVD technology (Physical Vapor Deposition: physical vapor deposition of thin metal films or metal alloys in a vacuum environment) to the use of water-based UV coatings.

This melting pot guarantees a clean, safe and ecological production process, requires only a few steps and minimizes waste: these are some of the reasons why sputtering is replacing the traditional galvanic bath.
M
We use the most innovative technologies that allow us to guarantee work in accordance with customer requirements, as well as to meet of all the mandatory requirements by the OEMs - Original Equipment Manufacturer - for compliance with the guidelines of the major brands.
Sputtering is the perfect melting pot
between technological innovation and eco-friendly production
In the images below, some examples of the possible finishes made by sputtering technology.

Iridescence effect
The sputtering technique is support by the iridescence also known as the 'Aurora Borealis'. It is a metallic finish with soft and iridescent reflections, which is obtained by the deposition of mineral vapors in a stratified way.
WE HAVE SPECIALIZED IN SPUTTERING BECAUSE:
• is completely green because it is a cold process, without water consumption and without harmful emissions;
• it allows for you to obtain an extremely realistic metallic appearance in a wide range of high-gloss colors;
• the final product is resistant to abrasion and corrosion;
• it is an advantageous process both in terms of work and production, which has reduced processing times, cycle repeatability and reduced imperfections.
• it allows for you to obtain an extremely realistic metallic appearance in a wide range of high-gloss colors;
• the final product is resistant to abrasion and corrosion;
• it is an advantageous process both in terms of work and production, which has reduced processing times, cycle repeatability and reduced imperfections.
THE PVD PROCESS WE LIKE IT BECAUSE:
• is available to any material;
• guarantees a uniform deposition of the metal film;
• it is 100% eco-friendly and doesn't generate any harmful waste;
• the processing waste is simply hot air;
• it guarantees resistance to chemical agents, even corrosiveness, thermal shocks, atmospheric agents, shocks and abrasions.

PLASMA TREATMENT
Plasma is a dry, clean process, carried out at room temperature, which doesn't use washing products and solvents (no consumables). PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) is an invisible barrier-like coating. Allows you to modify a wide variety of surfaces - regardless of their composition material and shape - giving the treated products highly sought-after qualities in various sectors such as, for example, anticorrosion, water repellency, oil repellency, fireproofing, scratch resistant, anti-stain effect.
Compared to other methods, plasma technology has decisive advantages:
• many of the properties indicated above can only be obtained with this method;
• it is free from the geometry and material of the products to be treated;
• the components are not mechanically altered;
• has very low operating costs and a high level of safety at work;
• is an ecological process without consumables.
