Laser Black

Laser Black

Laser Black is a multi-layer metallic oxide. Its deep velvety-black surface is somewhat fragile since it achieves its remarkable absorption by creating a micro-dendritic structure on the optical surface (see Laser Black SEM Photo). Unfortunately, these dendrites will show evidence of being touched, however the overall performance of the surface will not be degraded if this “touching” is performed in a small area. Being an inorganic coating, Laser Black does not outgas, and when vibrated ultrasonically in acetone, shows no flaking or chipping.
