PVD for high-quality automotive design – a growing trend
More and more automotive designers are looking to physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings to give their car interiors and exteriors an exclusive esthetic. PVD coatings are thin, durable, scratch and wear resistant, and have a premium look and feel. Ionbond is working with high-end car brands to deliver the optimum coating solution for their unique designs. Want to hear more about what we’re doing in this area? Come talk to us at IZB in Wolfsburg, 22-24 October 2024.
Many applications and colors for automotive design freedom
One of the great characteristics of PVD coatings is that they come in a range of colors – including various metal looks – and are so thin that the component retains its original texture. This gives a lot of freedom to create exclusive detailing. For instance, PVD can provide the traditional chrome color, but also black, anthracite, 24k gold, rose gold, copper and brown colors.
Examples of interior design components with PVD:
For exterior design components, consider decorative trim, logos and emblems, window and door moldings, etc. Together, these components can give a vehicle a unique design and make sure that all the finishing touches are perfect.
Door trim
Center console frames
Speaker grills
Air vents and rings around dashboard gauges
Car key fobs
Logos and emblems
