Low Temperature Arc Vapor Deposition Machine LTAVD Technology And Equipment

What is LTAVD

Low temperature arc vapor deposition (LTAVD) is a new addition to the field of cathodic arc plasma physical vapor deposition processes.

With its ability to deposit coatings at room temperature, LTAVD has been utilized on a commercial basis in applying coatings to plastics to address electrical, optical, thermal, corrosion/oxidation, mechanical and decorative requirements. LTAVD is a dry process and hence is environmentally safe.

Applications:

Plastic parts and other low-temperature resistance materials like ABS, ABS+PC, PPS, PEK, polyimide, polyetherimide, fluorocarbons (Teflon), ABS, polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, polyester, nylon, phenolics, polycarbonate, epoxies and other plastics and intermetallic compound as well as many ceramics

Consumer electronics: cellphone, computer, television, cameras;

Home appliances: bathroom and kitchen fixtures; air conditioners, washing machine, vacuum cleaners etc.

Automotive industry: plastic interior trims and exterior trims, LOGO

Coatings Properties:

Extremely durable and scratch resistance;

High density;

Excellent adhesion;

Nano-thin film which enable a wide variety of designs, no issues of dimensions, tolerances after coating.

Consumers always expecting a unique and tailored made color, Royal technology developed new BROWN yellow color, true black color, copper and other decorative colors by LTAVD technology as the request of car components manufacturer.

Royal team can assist you to develop more tailored coatings which give a high extra value of your products.

Summary: Chrome plating as a stable, excellent shiny decoration, corrosion prevention and abrasion wearing film surface treatment, in the last decades, it extensively be used for many industries. However, the hexavalent Chrome (Cr⁶⁺) electroplating damaged health of operators and ruined our environment. So, trivalent Chrome (Cr³⁺) was used to taken place of the (Cr⁶⁺) plating. With the higher requirement of quality and lower production cost demands by manufactures, now, an alternative solutions to replace expensive cost of (Cr³⁺) electroplating, the most important is without negative health impact and environmentally hazard effluence has been required.

When this subject come to PVD, it solved. Royal Technology has designed and developed the standardized PVD coating equipment used for various substrate materials:

ABS, ABS + PC, PA, Brass, Brass Alloy, Metal Steel, Zinc Alloy, Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy etc. With the PVD chrome processing, it changed the traditional process treatment in automotive industry, transportation vehicles, clocks, tooling instruments, hardware, bathroom and kitchen appliance and other many parts need protective layer and aesthetic coatings.
