PVD Coating
High-performance PVD coating adds a durable surface layer to production tooling, helping reduce wear, improve release, and support longer runs before routine maintenance is needed.
Extend the performance of blow mold tooling with high-performance PVD coatings from Surface Solutions. Our coatings help reduce buildup, improve release, limit wear, and keep production lines running longer between maintenance cycles. From our Fridley, Minnesota facility, we support manufacturers across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico with durable coating solutions built for demanding tooling environments.
Surface Solutions offers durable PVD coating options that help blow mold tooling run longer with less maintenance.
High-performance PVD coating adds a durable surface layer to production tooling, helping reduce wear, improve release, and support longer runs before routine maintenance is needed.
Alpha coating is designed to delay sharpening, reduce buildup compared with traditional TiN, and help eliminate polishing steps that slow production workflows.
Chrome Nitride coating supports strong release, reduced heat buildup, and durable surface protection for tooling exposed to friction, wear, and repeated production cycles.
Titanium Nitride coating provides a hard, wear-resistant finish that helps protect tooling surfaces while supporting cleaner performance in demanding manufacturing applications.
Aluminum Titanium Nitride coating is built for demanding tooling environments where heat resistance, durability, and extended performance under pressure are essential.
Manufactured tooling coating helps improve the service life of custom production tools, reducing maintenance workload and increasing productivity across repeated manufacturing runs.
Blow mold tooling depends on repeatable performance, clean release, and minimized downtime. Surface Solutions applies high-performance PVD coatings that help tooling resist wear, reduce buildup, and extend productive run time. With coating options such as Alpha, CrN, TiN, and AlTiN, manufacturers can target specific challenges like sticking, heat, corrosion, or premature maintenance.
Manufacturers rely on Surface Solutions coatings to improve productivity, reduce downtime, and extend tooling performance.
"Surface Solutions helped me with a small, but very significant project. They CrN coated some titanium pieces for me. They went above and beyond to make it amazing. Chet and Mike are pros and I would highly recommend their service."
"Nearly everything we resharpen gets sent out to Surface Solutions for coatings. I had one customer that wasn't using coatings and now that he's tried it, he wants everything coated. His tools are working better than new. It's like night and day . . ."
"The Alpha™ coating that was utilized last time for these small parts worked great. I was very pleased with the result as it greatly increased the part life. I was able to make 500 passes using the scratch testing equipment and saw no visible degradation of the coating under our..."
"Alpha cutters are amazing! And I hear AlTiN can only get better… Either way, we are going to ship you a huge set to get processed asap… Thank you so much! Kirk is thinking that these cutters just eliminated an entire process to the current one we have to do!!!..."
