  • Inexpensive
  • light corrosion resistance
  • Good general purpose coating
  • Adds very little thickness to the steel its being applied to

material application

Steel, copper, aluminum, brass, wood, plastics

Black & Gold

Black Oxide with gold color temper
Bronze & Black color

  • Denotes heavy-duty construction
  • Increases lubricity over bright finish
  • light corrosion resistance
