NEW Whitepaper: contributions of Forming Tool Coatings to sustainability and CO2 footprint reductions
The manufacturing industry is facing increased pressure to meet sustainability targets and improve operational efficiency. In response to these challenges, Ionbond is excited to present our latest whitepaper that explores the transformative role of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings in driving sustainability and reducing CO2 footprints. As the industry evolves to meet environmental demands, PVD coatings are emerging as a key technology to help manufacturers reduce waste, improve performance, and embrace sustainable practices.
Key benefits of PVD Coatings in sustainable manufacturing
Our whitepaper outlines how PVD coatings are enabling manufacturers to achieve their sustainability goals. Highlights include:
Lightweight vehicle design:
PVD coatings help create lighter vehicles, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, supporting eco-friendly transportation.
Enhanced productivity:
PVD coatings improve tool durability, enabling manufacturing in harsher conditions, reducing energy use and increasing efficiency.
Superior surface finish:
PVD coatings enhance BIW part surfaces, improving paint adhesion and reducing energy-intensive finishing processes, lowering environmental impact.
Lower waste and scrap:
PVD coatings enable multiple re-work of used production dies, reducing tool replacements and material waste, contributing to more sustainable production.
Reduction of oil-based lubricants:
PVD coatings incorporate lubricant properties, minimizing or eliminating oil-based lubricants, reducing emissions and waste.
Support for sustainable materials:
PVD coatings improve the performance of renewable and recycled materials, promoting a circular economy.


Reducing CO2 footprints with PVD Coatings
In addition to enhancing production efficiency and material durability, PVD coatings offer manufacturers an effective way to reduce CO2 footprints. These coatings enable companies to produce high-quality products with fewer resources, contributing to a more sustainable future. By integrating these solutions into their manufacturing processes, businesses can achieve their environmental goals while maintaining a competitive edge.
