Coating glassware with a two-sided gold coating using ion plating is a specialized process that can provide a luxurious and durable decorative finish. Ion plating, also known as ion beam sputtering or ion-assisted deposition, is a PVD technique that involves bombarding the coating material with ions to improve the film's properties and adhesion.
Here's how the process of applying a two-sided gold coating on glassware using ion plating typically works:
Coating glassware with a two-sided gold coating using ion plating can provide an elegant and high-quality finish. It offers improved adhesion, durability, and resistance to wear compared to traditional coating methods. This process is commonly used for high-end glassware, decorative items, and luxury products that require a prestigious and eye-catching appearance.
PVD ion plating gold color on glassware is well known and used in the market, however, to improve the adhesion of coated film, the bonding layer is always applied before TiN/ZrN gold coating, which has an issue that from inside seeing through, it reflects the metal layer color: silver or dark silver.
If we use the Spraying paining + Aluminum metallization process do can generate a double-sides gold color result, but the adhesion is weak and more complicated process, it makes the labor cost and production cost is increased.
In Nov. 2020, we received the request from middle east customer: double-sides looks gold and not use the spraying painting process.
After several cycles experiments, we found the proper coating process with strong adhesion.
