    Hold and heat coating material to extremely high temperatures for use in high-vacuum thin film coating processes. Also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), thin film coating creates micron-thin, consistently smooth finishes on knobs, mirrors, and other objects.
    These boats are designed for use with metal coating hooks and pellets. Hang a hook of coating material on a wire coil or place pellets of material in a basket or in a bowl.
    A boat's material and thickness determine the amount of electricity required to heat it. In general, the thicker the boat, the greater the amount of electricity needed to heat it. As a reference, required current describes what is necessary to heat these boats to a given temperature. Exact values will depend on your application.

    Materials for High-Vacuum Thin Film Protective Coatings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Protective Coatings. Materials for High-Vacuum Thin Film Protective Coatings.
    Coat knobs, handles, mirrors, and other objects with a micron-thin, decorative finish. 99.999% or 99.88% elementally pure, these metals vaporize when heated with low-voltage current inside a high-vacuum environment. The material then coats the object one atom at a time. Also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), this process allows for super-thin coatings that are more consistent, wear resistant, and corrosion resistant than coatings created through other methods. Hold and heat the material in a material holder.
    All materials will coat metal and plastic with a silvery-white color.
    Aluminum—Aluminum has a dull appearance.
    Silver—Silver has a shiny appearance and adds corrosion resistance.
