What is vacuum metallization?

With the development of modern technologies, the approach to activities related to applying protective coatings to various surfaces and products has changed. An increasingly popular method is vacuum metallization, i.e. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). PVD causes the metal to be vaporized or ejected using a high-energy electron beam and deposited evenly on the surface of the workpieces. This means that vacuum metallization procedures are used in the preparation of aesthetic decorations, as well as for coating functional objects. Therefore, we use PVD in electronics, automotive, medical and decorative industries.
