Cathodic arc coating technology can be applied to plate different colors on a number of civilian hardware for decorative purpose. Compared with electroplating and stoving varnish used for general surface treatment, it is surpassingly characterized by high hardness, high brightness, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, detachment resistance and discoloration resistance. At present, this coating technology has been widely applied to many common bathroom hardware (shower head, water faucet, etc.), building hardware (door lock, door knob, inner plate of elevator, etc.), automobile hardware (rearview mirror etc.), enclosure (cell phone, computer, etc.), and ornamental parts (hairpins, buttons etc.).
