Scientific studies have shown that this chemical element has antibacterial and antiviral properties; with Kolzer machines it can be applied on all surfaces by means of Sputtering

Sputtering is a revolutionary new treatment for fabrics, to make them more functional. The metallic coating on fabric with Sputtering is very thin, only 20nm, and is obtained by bombarding the metal with a beam of particles or ions.

To face the health emergency of Coronavirus, Kolzer has made available expertise and machines for silver and copper nanoparticles application on any substrate, including masks and other medical devices. Silver or copper nanoparticles are in fact able to inhibit virus infection and prevent viral migration.

Authorisation of CrVI: Seize the opportunity to make substitution a reality

The Alliance of PVD Providers (APP) of which Kolzer is a member, asks the European institutions to make substitution of hazardous chemicals under REACH a reality by replacing hexavalent chromium (CrVI) by the sustainable alternative Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology.

The processes of chrome plating adopted by Kolzer machines, in addition to be at zero emission, use metallic chrome, therefore "zerovalent". This is organic chrome absolutely non-polluting. Thus it is still possible to chrome for aesthetic/functional purposes, since the chrome zerovalent used by Kolzer plant, responds in full the new requirements of RoHS and ELV directives.

Positively tested a DGK63”, the biggest 3D sputtering plant in Europe. 2500 mm of length with 4 magnetrons and sputtering targets long 1800mm for the multilayer depositing on solar panels. We helped thousands of companies renew their ecological ethos, and at the same time generate immediate profits giving their products a new hi-tech appearance. Without the contribution of our sputtering process, it wouldn’t be possible to create the new generation of photovoltaic cells.
