COST EFFECTIVE
Because the Blackfast solution coverage per litre is high, and the resultant cost per unit of blacking markedly less than other conventional methods such as plating. One litre of concentrated blacking solution will cover between 4 and 8 square meters of steel depending on the substrate to be blacked.
NO DIMENSIONAL CHANGE
Many machined parts are manufactured to a tight tolerance, which means plating or painting are not acceptable.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The black surface absorbs wax, oil or rust-preventative sealants to give corrosion protection.
