Specification of GIBONOL S34

Gibonol S-34 is a process for blackening iron and steel by simple immersion. Uniform, black coatings of ferroferric oxide, Fe3(FeO2)2 are produced which are an integral part of the basis metal; that will withstand severe deformation without flaking. Beautiful, shiny, black coatings are obtained on buffed or polished surfaces, and flat non-reflectve coatings are obtained on etched or sand blasted steel.

Gibonol S-34 is a powdered product which is dissolved in water to make-up the blackening solution. The process blackens a wide range of alloys, low and high carbon steels, and low alloy steels, some cast and malleable irons, depending upon their composition. However, it will not blacken stainless steel.
