BALTONE ABSOLUTE BLACK

Q: Which substrates can be coated with BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK?

BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK is currently available for metallic substrates. The suitability of a specific substrate depends on the material and individual application requirements.

Q: What types of components can be coated with BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK?

BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK can be considered for a wide range of metal components where deep-black aesthetics or low-reflection properties are required. Examples include faucets, handles and controls, pens, watch cases, razors and grooming devices, automotive speaker grilles, as well as non-powered medical instruments, baffles, housings, apertures and other components where stray-light control is critical.

Q: Can BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK be applied to brushed, polished or textured surfaces?

Yes. BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK can be applied to different surface finishes, including brushed, polished, sandblasted and structured surfaces. The coating closely follows the underlying surface, allowing its individual texture and character to remain visible.

Q: How has the durability of BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK been evaluated?

BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK has been evaluated for abrasion, corrosion and resistance to synthetic sweat. Actual performance depends on the substrate, surface condition and specific operating environment.

Q: Can BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK be laser marked or selectively laser ablated?

Yes. Laser marking and selective laser ablation of BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK are generally possible. Suitability and process parameters depend on the specific component and application.

Q: Does BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK comply with REACH and RoHS requirements?

Yes. BALTONE® ABSOLUTE BLACK meets REACH and RoHS requirements and is produced without Chromium VI.

An advanced PVD coating that combines an ultra-deep black appearance with high wear resistance, reduced fingerprint visibility and low-reflection properties, while preserving fine surface structures.

Zastosowania Specyfikacja

Key benefits

Ultra-deep black

With an L value of approximately 22, the coating achieves an exceptionally dark appearance, even on matte surfaces.

Reduced fingerprint visibility

Helps maintain a clean appearance on frequently handled surfaces.

High hardness

A coating hardness of approximately 10 GPa supports robust, wear-resistant surfaces.

Surface texture preserved

Fine surface structures and textures remain visible after coating.

Low reflection

Low-reflection properties for functional applications such as optics, sensors, analytical and semiconductor equipment.

High temperature stability

Temperature stability of at least 500 °C.

When black needs to do more than look good.

Achieving a truly deep black surface is only part of the challenge. Premium products need to retain their distinctive appearance in everyday use, while technical applications require reliable performance and low reflection.

One black. Different reasons to choose it.

For design and feel.	For optical and technical applications
Deep-black surfaces that impress with their appearance and perform in everyday use.	Low-reflection surfaces for applications where controlling unwanted light reflections is essential.
Watches, jewellery and accessories Kitchen and sanitary fittings Writing instruments Sporting goods and personal care products Automotive interiors and controls	Optics Sensors Laser systems UV and analytical equipment Semiconductor equipment Non-powered medical instruments
