Vacuum Metallization (PVD) | PF Technologies
What Is Vacuum Metallization?
Vacuum metallizing, also known as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), is a thin-film process that evaporates metal, alloys, or compounds onto substrates within a vacuum. At PF Technologies, we use PVD for decorative metallic finishes, EMI/RFI shielding, and reflective coatings on plastic, glass, and metal.
Our Vacuum Metallization Capabilities
Decorative Metallic Finishes – Our process delivers a variety of finishes such as matte/brushed textures, reflective chrome, and colored metallic surfaces. By combining our robotic base and top-coat capabilities with PVD, we give you extensive decorative choices tailored to your project.
EMI/RFI Shielding – Furthermore, our custom Stokes Vacuum System employs a PLC-controlled PVD setup capable of depositing up to 3 microns of metal. We work with aluminum, copper, stainless steel, nickel, and chrome—alone or combined—providing precise shielding for sensitive electronics and aerospace applications. Learn more about EMI/RFI Shielding.
Reflective Coatings – Plus, we can apply a fine aluminum layer on polished or glass surfaces to achieve up to 94% reflectivity. Whether you need first- or second-surface mirrors on acrylic or glass, our PVD process delivers exceptional reflective quality. Other metals like nickel, chromium, and indium are also used to create
Why PF Technologies Stands Out
Multilayer PVD Capability – You can deposit up to three metal layers without breaking vacuum, improving efficiency and process integrity.
Accurate, Repeatable Processing – Our state-of-the-art PLC system ensures consistent cycling parameters, delivering reliable results from part to part and batch to batch.
Versatile Service Offering – In addition to PVD, we offer decorative coatings, EMI/RFI shielding, and die-cut gasketing, giving you comprehensive finishing capabilities under one roof.
