Decobond™ Nickel
Decorative PVD coating
Decobond™ coatings are used for applications where improved wear resistance and a bespoke and long lasting metallic look is required. Typical applications are kitchen and bath fittings, sporting goods, door- and boat hardware, interior trim and automotive components. PVD forms conformal coatings which will replicate the texture and structure of the uncoated surface. The coatings can be applied to mirror finishes, brushed or other textures surfaces without the need to re-polish or texturing. PVD is a line of sight process with limited coating capacities for hidden features and deep recesses. Ionbond offers a range of standard colors and has the ability to match colors to designers’ requirements.
Corrosion Resistance and Care
PVD coatings do not enhance corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance has to be controlled by the substrate (stainless steel, titanium) or the electroplated understructure. Decobond™ 7325 is not resistant to phosphoric acid and or phosphoric acid containing agents. Decobond™ 7325 needs no particular care, however, abrasive substances like sand or abrasive cleaning agents and pads should not be used for cleaning.
