SurfTech – PVD Coating Services & Ceramic Coating Services

SurfTech is the only Ion–Assisted PVD coating, thin film coating, and ceramic coating facility in the United States that utilizes a true multi-layer thin film coating that actually interlaces each layer with a combination of materials—ensuring consistency throughout the life of your product.The main reason to add a decorative PVD coating is to create a colourful look and a scratch-resistant surface. For more information about the types of custom PVD coating colors and types please contact us.

Multilayer, Thin Film Coatings 

SurfTech’s unique coating process combines two patented cutting edge technologies: Ion Activation Devices (IAD), and Nanostructured Material Synthesis (NMS). Together, IAD and NMS enable hard, lubricious, smooth, pour-free vacuum deposited coatings at temperatures below all known annealing temperatures.

Coat the Uncoatable

With our non-bias, low-temperature (below 200º F!) PVD process, non-conductive and heat-sensitive materials such as ceramics and hardened steel can now be coated—extending the lives of these components.

Your Substrate is Safe 

Our coating process will never change your material’s hardness or toughness. Whether the substrate is bearing steel, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), cubic boron nitride (CBN), previously coated tools, brazed carbide, carbides, ceramics or high strength composites—it will stay the same.

Sharp Edges Stay Sharp

If you have a part that requires a sharp edge, such as a blade, forget about using traditional PVD coating, which creates a teardrop effect on the cutting edge. SurfTech’s unique alternative PVD process keeps sharp edges sharp.
