LUMICLAD is Birchwood Technologies' latest in-house method for bulk blackening aluminum fasteners and hardware. It's a zero-discharge process that forms a protective, non-dimensional black oxide finish on all aluminum surfaces.
- Clean, durable and tightly adherent to metal substrates
- Well suited for all varieties of aluminum fasteners and hardware including metric and standard sizes
- Forms uniform coating thickness of .000060 in. (1.5 micron)
- Will not close down hole diameters, change or clog thread dimensions
- Features inherent lubricity that can aid in fastener operation
- 30-minute process without operating complexities of anodizing
- Contains no EPA regulated chemicals, so there is usually no need for waste treatment
- Rinse waters are considered sewerable as non-hazardous effluent, simplifying installation and minimizes capital investment to set up an in-house process line
- Utilizes conventional immersion tank process line
- Easy and safe to operate so fastener manufacturers can operate it in-house themselves, eliminating need for outside processing
