LA QUALITÀ DEL PVD INIZIA PRIMA DEL PVD

PVD is increasingly used in the faucet industry, furniture, automotive, marine applications, luxury fashion, and design components to achieve resistant, uniform, and durable finishes.

However, the quality of the final result also depends on what happens before the coating process.

In many production processes, the surface intended for PVD coating is prepared through electroplating treatments such as copper plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, or other processes, depending on the base material and the required finish.

One fundamental principle remains:

PVD does not conceal defects in the underlying surface.

Pitting, particles, roughness, inclusions, and other imperfections in the electroplated layer may remain visible even after PVD coating, compromising the final aesthetic result.

When the production process includes electroplating preparation, the quality and stability of the plating bath become an integral part of the final finish quality.

Filtration helps keep the plating bath clean and under control, reducing the presence of particles and contaminants that may contribute to surface defects.

Thanks to their hermetically sealed filter pack, O.M.G. di Gibogini filter pumps can achieve filtration levels below 1 µm, contributing to the stability of the electroplating process and the quality of the treated surface.

Copper plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, and other preparatory treatments are not simply steps that come before PVD.

They are the foundation on which the quality of the final finish is built.  PVD QUALITY STARTS BEFORE PVD
