This partnership stems from a shared vision of innovation, quality and reliability and has led to the development of Nitidus Touch, a machine capable of delivering superior performance and high productivity. Nitidus Touch is based on easy-to-clean technology, which enables surfaces that are easier to clean. The extra transparent coating can be applied over a variety of PVD colors and ensures that water remains in droplets, slides away and leaves no streaks. Applications Ideal for the decorative PVD field, particularly for faucets and handles (but not only). PVD technologies are suitable for achieving good adhesion, high hardness, abrasion resistance and scratch resistance of coatings. Technical specifications of the machine Available technologies: Thermal Evaporation, Magnetron Sputtering, PECVD, Glow Discharge (pre-cleaning) Chamber type: high vacuum batch chamber with double front door Internal chamber dimensions: \u00d8 1100 mm \u00d7 h 1500 mm Useful dimensions: consistent with machines such as those from Protec ST Deposition positions: 6\/12 planetary workpiece holders per door (or more, upon request) Complete cycle time: 30 minutes Pumping system: 3 Edwards turbo pumps, Leybold roots pump, Leybold dry pump Control system: Siemens S7-1500 PLC with HMI and remote connection Dry vacuum system and three TMP pumps Six support frames, the same as a PVD machine and customizable 3 classic decorative PVD cycles = 1 Nitidus Touch cycle Touch coated samples (test): Surface energy: values below target specifications Aging resistance (salt spray): stable beyond 72 hours Wear and chemical resistance: minimal variations even after 200 cycles &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-eng"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1323,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236\/revisions\/1323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.holdingplato.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
