The coating method involves purely physical processes such as high temperature vacuum vaporation or plasma sputter bombardment rather than involving a chemical reaction at the surface to be coated as in chemical vapor deposition.

With a wide range of coating materials and thicknesses, PVD can be custom made to
applications and the coatings can be optimized
for various characteristics, such as electrical,
mechanical, optical and decorative.

PVD can be applied on products of consumer electronics, door & window hardware, kitchen & bath fixtures, Lighting fixtures, Appliance trim, Medical instruments, Musical instruments, Entertainment components, Vehicle trim, etc....
