The Process

BLACK-IT! for Iron & Steel

The process is easy to apply and does not use heat or any toxic compounds. Typically, the time to BLACK a component is less than 15 minutes. After treatment, the component is ready for use or assembly.

The surface finish of the component is unaffected and there are no changes to  any dimensions.

Once treated with the process the component’s black finish is  stable for ever!

Finally, the BLACK-IT! process leaves  the metal surface embedded with oil which resists rusting.
