E-Coat (Electro-Coated S/S)
Electro Coating is a process where the metal substrate (Stainless Steel sheet), is immersed into a solution which acts as the medium to allow an anode metal to sacrifice or transfer to a cathode metal. The process uses electrolysis to positively charge the conductive anode which is then collected by the cathode. The rate and thickness in which this is created is determined by the amount of electrical current introduced.
Advantages of Electrocoating
- Realistic surface representation of desired metal
- Cost advantages using coating layer compared to actual metal.
- UV stability for internal decorative uses.
- Better natural surface stability and less maintenance with Anti Finger-Print coatings applied optional Matte or Gloss.
Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a process to produce a metal vapour (titanium, chromium and aluminium) that can be deposited on electrically conductive materials as a thin highly adhered pure metal or alloy coating. The process is carried out in a vacuum chamber using a cathodic arc source.
The coating compounds are made up of various elements such as carbides, nitrides, borides and silicides. The different colours are achieved by adding different gasses during the deposition.
Why choose Coating?
- PVD coating is one of the best methods for enhancing thin film plating elements. The vacuum deposition method coats the stainless steel with a film of hard refractory material 1-2 microns thick.
- PVD coatings surpasses traditional electroplated coatings, its more corrosion resistant and has superior hardness
- PVD coatings do not discolor or tarnish, and do not suffer under UV radiation easy. They provide surface finish stable unlike naturally weathering metals.
- More environmentally friendly than traditional coating processes such as electroplating and powdercoating.
