White Appliances

PVD coatings are needed in sheet metal cutting, shaping, metal injection and plastic injection molds in the white appliances industry.

The PVD coatings used reduce the wear rate depending on the application and offer long tool and mold life.

Furthermore, since the products with visual features are manufactured in the white appliances industry, the metallic sheet and plastic products used must have a decorative appearance without scratches, crushes and other surface defects. When PVD coated molds are used, the surfaces of the workpieces produced will also be perfect because the amount of wear will decrease.

With the use of new generation PVD coatings with superior mechanical properties and wear resistance, these requirements are met and high productivity and profitability values are achieved.
