Low Temperature Arc Vapor Deposition (LTAVD) is a technique within the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process that allows for the deposition of metal coatings onto substrates, particularly heat-sensitive materials like plastics, at relatively low temperatures compared to traditional PVD methods, enabling coating without damaging the substrate material; it occurs in a vacuum chamber using a low voltage arc to generate the vapor for deposition.
What is LTAVD
Low temperature arc vapor deposition (LTAVD) is a new addition to the field of cathodic arc plasma physical vapor deposition processes.
With its ability to deposit coatings at room temperature, LTAVD has been utilized on a commercial basis in applying coatings to plastics to address electrical, optical, thermal, corrosion/oxidation, mechanical and decorative requirements. LTAVD is a dry process and hence is environmentally safe.
Applications:
Plastic parts and other low-temperature resistance materials like ABS, ABS+PC, PPS, PEK, polyimide, polyetherimide, fluorocarbons (Teflon), ABS, polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, polyester, nylon, phenolics, polycarbonate, epoxies and other plastics and intermetallic compound as well as many ceramics
