Improvement corrosion & weather resistance

After treatment given, corrosion resistance shows several ten times as much than raw material

Abel Black®, being thick oxide film as compared with conventional methods, demonstrates remarkable corrosion resistance.
For instance, Abel-black treated SUS304 has achieved superb result than SUS316 raw material obtained by the ferric chloride corrosion test (JIS G0578 stainless steel ferric chloride corrosion test method).
Also, as for Abel Black® treated SUS430, though little less than SUS316 raw material, demonstrates enormous improvement corrosion resistance.
Consequently, it transforms into material with superb durability.
