Aluminum Blackening Material works on prototype scale.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:27:33 -0500

Suited for manufacturers that require same-day black finishing of small lots of aluminum parts, mini BK-LC series safely blackens parts in-house and achieves satin black finish. LUMICLAD process, which takes ~30 min, utilizes dip-tank procedure to form black oxide coating on aluminum while utilizing only one heated tank and eliminating requirements for electrolytic current. LUMICLAD finish is 1.5 microns thick and will not shrink hole diameters or add measurable thickness.

When applied to any clean ferrous metal surface, PRESTO BLACK® BST4 blackens within 30 sec and forms finish that can be topcoated to form protective black oxide finish. Brush-on liquid serves as fast-acting blackener of re-machined areas or reworked metal parts, repairing scratches or damaged areas. Suited for use on all iron and non-stainless steels, product blends with existing black oxide finishes and withstands same degree of salt spray exposure.
