Abel Black® Guide

True Black Surface by Oxide Film

Abel Black® forms an ultra-thin oxide film that reveals the metal’s natural texture. Its deep black tone is created through light interference—not coating—preserving the true character of stainless steel

Capability,
Workability & Efficiency

The ultra-thin oxide film maintains dimensional accuracy and resists peeling during progressive pressing, multi-step forming, insert molding, roll forming, and roll-to-roll processing. This simplifies manufacturing steps and reduces costs.

Corrosion & Weather Resistance

Proven to withstand 500 hours of salt spray testing and 1,000 hours of weathering tests. Demonstrates approximately 30 times greater resistance to ferric chloride corrosion than untreated stainless steel. It offers high durability against abrasion and outdoor exposure.

Anti-Reflection Properties

Reduces reflectance across the visible light spectrum, absorbing up to 99% of light. Enhances optical precision and glare reduction.

High Emissivity

Improves radiative performance for applications involving heat retention and thermal management.
