Decobond™ Black Raven: Advanced decorative PVD coating for demanding applications
When it comes to products that require long-lasting design, durability and appearance are equally important. Ionbond’s Decobond™ Black Raven decorative PVD coating is engineered specifically for these demands, offering a unique combination of strong wear resistance and a long lasting dark black metallic finish. This makes it the perfect choice for sporting goods in extreme conditions, a wide range of firearms components, as well as door and furniture hardware, interior trim, and automotive parts.
Rigorously tested and ready for the extreme conditions
Whether it’s for gear exposed to harsh weather, repeated impacts, or abrasive conditions, this advanced coating ensures that products not only look exceptional but also maintain their integrity over time. Its proven wear resistance, validated by the rigorous Taber test (ASTM 4060-95, means that applications can withstand the rigors of daily usage and the challenging conditions of high-performance environments.
Design integrity meets multi-material compatibility
A main strength of the coating is its ability to conform to any surface texture and structure, whether mirror-polished or brushed, without the need for additional finishing. This provides manufacturers with the following advantages:
Preserve the original design and feel of products
while enhancing protection.
Tough barrier against scratches and wear
provided by the coating’s hardness (2000 HV 0.05) and thickness (3.0–5.0 μm).
Compatibility with a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and more
ensured by the low application temperature (<200°C).
Endurance and elegance, crafted for designers
Beyond performance, Decobond™ Black Raven delivers a long-lasting look that elevates the visual appeal. Its deep black tone is both modern and timeless, making it a favorite among designers seeking to combine aesthetics with function.
For brands and manufacturers aiming to set their product design apart in the most demanding conditions, Ionbond’s Decobond™ Black Raven offers a proven solution to endurance with elegance.
