What exactly is PVD?

is an advanced chemical process in which

Stainless steel is coated with an additional layer, which gives it high resistance to scratches, corrosion and fading of the product’s color. How is the technology performed?

A vacuum chamber must be used, in which the material used for coating evaporates and crystallizes on the surface of the stainless steel, creating a thin and strong layer.

The process:

1. The product must be prepared when it is clean and thoroughly cleaned
2. The chamber into which the product is going to enter must undergo a vacuum process
3. When the evaporation process begins, the material that is the coating, usually a type of metal, is heated and reaches a gas level.
4. During the coating, the gas that is created is thrown onto the surface of the stainless steel, thus creating a thin, high-quality layer along with the stainless steel.
5. Finally, the chamber must be cooled. The chamber is cooled, and the product is ready with a PVD coating specifically for it.

Advantages:

• Durability:
  PVD coating strengthens the stainless steel and protects it from various damages.
• Aesthetics:
  The coating gives an impressive appearance and a variety of colors and finishes unique to FOSTER
• Hygiene:
  PVD coating is easy to clean and maintains cleanliness.
• Environmental resistance:
  The coating is resistant to corrosion, which is a major threat to products in Israel.

Uses:

Kitchen and bathroom faucets and sinks, cutting tools and industrial devices, jewelry and decorative objects, aviation and aerospace.

In conclusion: PVD coating is an advanced technology that improves the durability and aesthetics of stainless steel, and finds diverse uses in FOSTER products.
