What is PVD?

What is the PVD Process?
  •  
The process transfers the strength and durability of Titanium to the surface of the normally softer material.
  •  
Pre-polished and pre-plated metal (in this case hard chrome plated brass) is placed in a chamber.
  •  
The chamber is evacuated and the vacuum is then charged with heated gases.
  •  
Titanium and or Zircon Oxide is coated onto the prepared surface by a process similar to a lightning strike with the assistance of the heated gases.

Why PVD?
  •  
The process transfers the strength and durability of Titanium to the surface of the normally softer material.
  •  
The process is effective in reducing oxidation.
  •  
The process is more environmentally friendly than electroplating.

Maintaining the Titanium Finish
The Do’s
  •  
To clean PVD all you need is a clean moist soft cloth!
  •  
A long lasting shine will be maintained if after each use you rinse off your tap set with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
  •  
Regular wiping will prevent a build up of soap residue and grime.

The Do NOT’s
  •  
Never use abrasive pads, powder cleaners or liquid abrasive cleaners. These products will not remove the Titanium coating but will dull the surface below thus reducing the lustre.
  •  
Do NOT use chemical or corrosive cleaners, methylated spirits or hydrocarbon solvents. These products in combination/or concentration may affect the Titanium coating and may remove the lubricants used to aid the sealing rings.
  •  
See ‘Maintaining your Titanium Strength Finish’
  •  
See Recollections warranty regarding discolouration.
  •  
Scratches and indentations may be observed on the material below the titanium surface.
