What is the PVD finish on the Blanco faucets?

P.V.D. (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a method of vaporizing, and ionizing high purity metals and gases to form a film-like metal compound that coats BLANCO brass sinks and faucets. The process takes place under airtight, contaminant-free conditions in a sealed vacuum chamber.

BLANCO’s P.V.D. Brass finish outperforms all plated finishes:

• Four times harder than natural brass.
• Exceptional resistance to abrasion and chemicals.
• No clear topcoats that can be scratched or discolored by sunlight.
• Unequaled elegance and depth.

The P.V.D. process is totally environmentally friendly. It is a dry process that does not produce the metal-laden rinse waters or metal vapors normally associated with electroplating processes. Additionally, the cleaning step of the BLANCO process is an aqueous alkaline process which entails high purity rinse waters with virtually no environmental impact.
