MATERIALS AND SURFACE PROCESSING

Surface Solutions

Stainless steel coils, strip and sheets can be specified with PVD finishes, functional topcoats or decorative film lamination. We help match the substrate and surface to your component, then coordinate samples, processing and delivery with specialist partners.

CUSTOM SURFACE OPTIONS

Surface Options for Your Component

Compare PVD colour, functional topcoats and decorative film by the appearance, use and later processing of your component.

The steel substrate, base finish and surface treatment are reviewed together. A functional topcoat can be considered alongside PVD; removable transport film and outer packaging have separate protection roles.

PROCESSING

Coating, Lamination and Protection

PVD Colour Coating

Specify the stainless steel substrate and base finish, then the required colour. The finishing route covers film removal, colour coating, protective-film application, inspection and packing.

View PVD Processing

Functional Topcoats

An anti-fingerprint topcoat is reviewed with the base surface, final appearance, cleaning and later processing. Removable transport film is a separate protection requirement.

View Topcoat Processing

Decorative Film Lamination

A decorative film system is bonded to flat metal through adhesive coating, hot lamination and ageing. It is separate from removable surface protection and outer packing.
