Strong Adhesive Multi layers
Nowadays many substrates need to be hardened in order to achieve a superior end-product. To this end SOUTHERN-PVD developed several PVD coating solutions for different substrates.Just like stainless steel, titanium alloy, copper (Cu), and so on. SOUTHERN-PVD´s basecoat & topcoat system consists of a number of basecoats and PVD topcoats merging into strong adhesive multi-layers. The result is a top-quality PVD coating, hardening the substrate and giving it a vivid colour. Due to the multi-target PVD coating system available in all SOUTHERN-PVD machines, compound coatings from more than one metal are available. Job coaters and manufacturers use SOUTHERN-PVD coating equipment to protect their workpieces against scratching and give them a brilliant finish with a PVD coating solution.
