Singulus Technologies has developed a new layer system with titanium for sustainable coatings with the DECOLINE II production line. The innovative coating process reduces the necessary production steps and is, therefore, significantly more economical. Substrates made of glass no longer need to be lacquered with this process that uses titanium, as the coloring takes place during metallization. The coating process offers a choice of six basic metallic colors and mixed variants thereof: silver, bronze, gold, violet, blue, and green. These colors can be individually selected by different parameters during metallization. Even on plastic substrates, one of the two coating steps normally required can be omitted. This reduces the number of layers, and significantly simplifies the process. Components with a diameter of up to 68 or 90 mm and a length of 130 mm can be coated with the process.
The process is particularly sustainable, environmentally friendly, and economical. No solvents, chemicals, or organic coatings are required for most substrates. The energy required for the coating process is significantly lower than for anodizing, painting, or electroplating. Complex and cost-intensive painting steps can be completely or partially eliminated.
