Color at Its Boldest
Created to Captivate

NTI Neon Finish™ brings vivid Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green, Pink and multicolor Gradient finishes to life through precision PVD thin film coating, enabling bold product expression with repeatable production control.

The New Color Brief Is Brighter, Bolder
and More Expressive

Across consumer electronics, beauty, eyewear, mobility and premium lifestyle products, brands and CMF teams are seeking vivid colors and multicolor effects that strengthen product recognition and brand expression.

The challenge is carrying that color intent onto the finished component with control across substrate, texture, geometry, gloss and production batches. NTI Neon Finish™ connects creative color freedom with production readiness.

NTI Validation Support

Each Neon finish is evaluated through the appearance, process, reliability and environmental controls relevant to the application, from approved sample to production readiness.

Color & Optical Appearance

Evaluate Neon Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green and Pink against the approved color, gloss and surface appearance. Neon Gradient receives additional review across defined viewing angles, color transitions and part orientation on the finished component.

Areas of Test Include:

  • Defined geometry L*a*b* color measurement
  • ΔE consistency against the approved reference
  • D65 light booth visual inspection and gloss assessment
  • Color measurement across multiple viewing angles for Neon Gradient
  • Goniospectrophotometry and color transition mapping
  • Finished part review for color consistency and Gradient orientation

Film & Process Control

Confirm coating thickness, process conditions and recipe controls that support the approved color or Gradient effect.

Areas of Test Include:

  • Witness coupon color and thickness checks
  • Coating thickness measurement
  • In situ QCM process monitoring
  • Optical emission spectroscopy process support
  • Recipe and key process parameter review
  • Calotester or SEM cross section for development checks

Reliability & Environmental Resistance

Evaluate the vivid finish for reliability under handling, assembly, wear, moisture, cleaning and environmental exposure requirements.

Areas of Test Include:

  • Cross hatch adhesion
  • Steel wool and abrasion testing
  • Scratch resistance
  • Artificial sweat and humidity exposure
  • Salt spray and corrosion resistance
  • Selected chemical, UV and thermal checks

NTI Nanofilm provides testing and characterization support for coating development and application qualification. Testing is performed in-house or coordinated through qualified facilities, depending on the site and project scope. Where applicable, assessments reference recognized test methods. Results relate to the samples and conditions evaluated and do not constitute independent third-party product certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NTI Neon Finish™?

NTI Neon Finish™ is a decorative PVD thin film coating portfolio comprising vivid Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green and Pink color families plus Neon Gradient, a controlled multicolor shift finish.

No. NTI Neon Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green and Pink are single color finishes. Neon Gradient is designed to create a controlled multicolor shift across viewing angles.

The current Neon Finish portfolio centers on Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green, Pink and Gradient. Additional directions such as yellow, red or orange are subject to feasibility review based on the target shade, substrate, finish style, performance requirements and production route.

NTI can evaluate color matching across materials, but the final appearance may vary by substrate, surface texture, gloss, geometry and coating stack. Assemblies combining multiple materials should be reviewed during sample development.

Blue, Violet, Cyan, Green and Pink are evaluated against an approved reference using defined geometry L*a*b* and ΔE measurement, D65 visual review, gloss assessment and finished part inspection. Neon Gradient also requires measurement across multiple viewing angles and review of color shift, transition and orientation on the finished part.

For selected decorative applications, NTI Neon Finish™ uses PVD to provide a dry vacuum coating pathway that reduces reliance on conventional wet plating routes. Suitability depends on substrate, geometry, color target and validation requirements.

NTI offers three routes: established Neon color offerings for faster sampling and production, application development and coating services for tailored requirements, and Dream™ batch or Titan™ inline coating systems for in-house production.
