We offer precision UV Metalizing Services that combine PVD technology with UV curing to create reflective, protective coatings. UV metalizing is a highly advanced coating process that combines metallization and ultraviolet (UV) curing techniques. The process begins with surface preparation, after which a metal wire, such as aluminum or copper, is melted and atomized using compressed air. The atomized metal is sprayed onto the surface, forming a thin, metallic coating that provides both aesthetic and protective benefits.

UV curing, a subsequent step, involves exposing the coated material to ultraviolet light. This process rapidly hardens the coatings, creating a durable finish. UV curing uses a mixture of liquid monomers, oligomers, and photoinitiators that react to UV energy, forming a cured layer within seconds. This step ensures the coating is ready for further processing and enhances its durability.

Vacuum metalizing, a related technique, creates metallic layers on substrates through physical vapor deposition (PVD). In this process, metal is evaporated in a vacuum chamber and condenses onto the surface, forming a uniform, decorative coating. This method is particularly effective for applications requiring high reflectivity or durability, such as automotive parts and packaging materials. Despite its advantages, UV metalizing involves significant equipment costs and requires skilled operators due to the complex machinery and high heat involved.

Perfect for enhancing both durability and aesthetics, our process ensures a superior metallic finish for various materials, including plastics and metals.
