PVD Vacuum Coating Technology Shines at Canton Fair Phase II

GUANGZHOU, China – The second phase of the 138th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) is set to open from October 23 to 27, 2025, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. This session will showcase a diverse range of products, including household items, gifts, decorations, and building materials. Among the exhibits, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) vacuum coating machines are drawing significant attention for their advanced applications in surface treatment and decorative finishes.

Advanced Coating Equipment on Display

PVD vacuum coating equipment, such as the TG Multiarc Ion Sputtering Machine and PVD Multiarc Ion Sputtering Coating Machine, are highlighted for their versatility in depositing high-quality functional and decorative coatings. These systems can be used on various substrates, including metals, glass, and plastics, making them ideal for the hardware, home appliance, and sanitary ware industries featured in this phase of the fair.

Multiarc ion sputtering technology, a prominent PVD variant, operates by using arc discharge to evaporate metal ions from a solid cathode target, forming durable metal, alloy, or compound films like TiN, CrN, or TiAlN. This process is environmentally friendly and well-suited for applications ranging from tableware and hardware to crafts and bathroom fixtures.

Key Features and Technological Innovations

Exhibitors at the Canton Fair are demonstrating PVD systems equipped with automated controls, PLC-based operation, and multi-stage processes to ensure high-quality, consistent coatings. For instance, some models feature:

• Multiple arc sources and magnetron sputtering targets for flexible, multi-layer coating capabilities.

• Advanced vacuum systems capable of achieving high background vacuum levels (e.g., down to 7×10⁻⁵ Pa) to ensure coating purity and adhesion.

• User-friendly interfaces with support for customizable process recipes, enabling operators to manage complex coating tasks with ease.

These systems are designed to provide high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance to products, significantly enhancing their durability and market appeal.

Meeting Diverse Industrial Needs

The PVD vacuum coating machines exhibited, including the TG Multiarc Ion Sputtering Machine, align with the Canton Fair’s focus on innovation and quality. They enable manufacturers to apply everything from classic metallic finishes like gold and rose gold to advanced functional coatings. This flexibility is particularly valuable for industries such as hardware tools, architectural decorations, and high-end consumer goods, which are core to the second phase of the fair.

With the 138th Canton Fair hosting over 32,000 exhibitors and emphasizing sectors like smart manufacturing and green technology, advanced coating technologies like PVD are poised to help global buyers enhance product performance and sustainability.
