Why buyers choose our PVD coating
TiN, ZrN and TiCN in one place
We run Titanium Nitride, Zirconium Nitride and Titanium Carbo Nitride, plus sputtered copper, stainless steel and aluminum.
Built to take wear
PVD gives far greater hardness and wear resistance than traditional electroplating, so the finish survives contact and abrasion.
Three deposition methods
Magnetron sputtering, reactive arc and RF processes let us match the method to your part, finish and performance spec.
In-house lab control
Our own lab controls process parameters, testing protocols and certifications across the life of your program.
Real production capacity
Over 200,000 sq.ft. running 24/5, with more than twenty jobs in production at the same time.
US domestic source
Everything runs in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and we serve manufacturers nationwide. No overseas hand-off.
What our titanium nitride PVD coating covers
We have run physical vapor deposition since the 1980s, when our engineers first brought magnetron sputtering and PVD methods in house. Today we coat decorative hardware, functional components and shielded parts for OEMs and brand owners.
PVD programs start with your wear, hardness or adhesion requirement. We qualify the finish against a match sample, then hold it batch to batch, year after year, so your parts look and perform the same on every build.
- Titanium Nitride (TiN), Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) and Titanium Carbo Nitride (TiCN)
- Magnetron sputtering, reactive arc deposition and RF processes
- Sputtered copper, stainless steel and aluminum for functional and decorative work
- Coating on metal parts and on plastics including ABS, Ultem, nylon, LCP and polycarbonate
- Plasma treatment for adhesion on hard-to-coat plastics such as polycarbonate
- Custom tooling and masking designed and built in house for each part
- Applications in hardware, writing instruments, automotive trim, electronics and EMI-RFI shielding
- ROHS compliant processes and an in-house lab for testing and certifications
A finishing source manufacturers keep coming back to
“We had been worried about the finish and considered various methods before deciding to go with PMC. In the end we only made one mistake: we didn't order enough pieces because the item sold out in less than a month!”
What happens after you send your details
You share the part
Send your drawing, substrate, target finish and forecast volume. Our engineers review the fit before anything is quoted.
We sample your finish
Free sampling is available for most applications. You get a match sample to approve against your spec.
We run production
Once the finish is approved, we build tooling and masking in house and hold the same result run after run.
Frequently asked questions
Which PVD coatings do you offer?
Titanium Nitride (TiN), Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) and Titanium Carbo Nitride (TiCN), plus sputtered copper, stainless steel and aluminum for functional and decorative uses.
How is PVD different from electroplating?
PVD delivers substantially greater hardness and wear resistance than traditional electroplating. It is the right choice when a finish must survive mechanical contact, abrasion or a demanding service environment.
What does titanium nitride PVD coating cost?
Price depends on your part, substrate, coating, masking needs and volume. Send the part details and forecast quantities and we will quote your program.
Can I see a sample before I commit?
Yes. We offer free sampling for most applications, so you can approve a match sample before production starts.
Do you take small or moderate volumes?
We are comfortable producing moderate volumes as well as super high volumes, and we run more than twenty jobs at once. We do not take one-off consumer items, repairs or refinishing of used parts.
Where are you and who do you serve?
We work from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and serve manufacturers across the United States as a domestic finishing source.
Can you coat plastic parts, not just metal?
Yes. We coat ABS and engineering grades such as Ultem, nylon, LCP and polycarbonate, with plasma treatment for adhesion on hard-to-coat substrates.
