PVD Protection: New Surface Protection for PVD Applications<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PVD coatings are now an essential component of modern surface technology, particularly in decorative applications. They give metal surfaces such as stainless steel and plastic surfaces a noble, high-quality appearance - whether through translucent colors, glossy finishes, or the so-called \u201ccool-touch\u201d effect, where plastic feels like metal. It's particularly noteworthy that the structure of the substrate, whether brushed or polished, is fully preserved.

\nHowever, despite their visual advantages, PVD surfaces have weaknesses: They are susceptible to scratch marks, corrosion, and chemical influences. Fingerprints often adhere stubbornly and affect the appearance. This is where EPG AG's solution comes in. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Top-coat Solution for PVD Surfaces with Sol-Gel Technology<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

EPG AG has developed an innovative protective coating that effectively protects sensitive PVD surfaces or PVD coatings. The core of this solution is the sol-gel layer, which is applied by spray coating. This transparent, nearly invisible layer is created through thermal densification, producing an extremely thin, glass-like inorganic coating with outstanding properties: <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The sse of Sol-Gel technology creates an extremely adhesive coating that maintains its functionality even under high stress. The application of this technology is suitable for both metal coatings and plastic coatings, opening up numerous possibilities in surface finishing.

In addition to protection, EPG AG offers a sustainable alternative to classic PVD coating. By combining the sol-gel layer with precise coloring, larger color deviations, which often occur with conventional PVD processes, can be almost completely eliminated.

\nAnother advantage is the ability to customize the coloring to customer preferences. Color shades are precisely matched before production approval and remain stable throughout the entire production process. This reduces waste and ensures consistent quality - ideal for applications in the design industry, automotive manufacturing, or household appliances. <\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
