What is PVD and How Does It Work?
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is an eco-conscious, high-vacuum coating process initially engineered for aerospace turbines and haute-horlogerie timepieces. Within a zero-atmosphere chamber, vaporized titanium and zirconium ions are bonded on solid brass at an atomic level.
Key Advantages of PVD Taps:
- 300% Higher Scratch Resistance: Surface hardness exceeds 2000 Vickers, defying daily abrasions.
- Lifetime Chromatic Integrity: Zero flaking, fading, or tarnish even under continuous sauna-grade humidity.
- Zero Toxic Effluents: Unlike galvanic bath electroplating, PVD is a purely physical and green manufacturing science.
All colored Notryka collections—from brushed brass to graphite noir—are sealed with state-of-the-art PVD reactors and backed by a comprehensive 7-year replacement warranty.
