Blackener Kits for Ferrous Metal Tools

For use with steel and iron parts, these kits create a flat, black protective finish that resists corrosion and reduces glare. Use as an alternative to purchasing black-oxide tools.

Gel and Thin Liquid—Gel and thin liquid blackeners include blackener, cleaner, and sealer. Dip or swab to apply.

Liquid Concentrate—Liquid concentrate blackeners include blackener, sealer, and mixing pails. Dilute up to 10 times the amount of blackener in each kit—the higher the concentration, the faster the blackening process.
