Stainless steel coloring through oxidation without using any coloring agents.
By further oxidizing the oxide film on the stainless steel surface and making it thicker, it appears beautifully colored due to the interference of light. A familiar example of color appearing in the same manner is soap bubbles. 【Features of Stainless Steel Oxidation Coloring】 ◆ Color is a "phenomenon of light interference" Although it appears to be colored, it is due to interference colors and contains no pigment components, making it harmless. ◆ No risk of foreign substance contamination The oxide film does not deteriorate or peel off, which allows it to be used in medical and food fields where foreign substance contamination is not permitted. ◆ Excellent design quality Mechanical polishing finishes such as mirror and hairline, as well as embossing and laser marking, can be utilized as they are. ◆ Excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance The corrosion resistance is improved by thickening the oxide film. Additionally, it does not fade due to ultraviolet light. ◆ Easy to recycle Unlike coatings or plating that must be removed during recycling, it can be recycled as is. ◇◇ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us ◇◇

basic information
【 Color Lineup 】 Based on five colors: purple, gold, green, blue, and black, the colors that can be produced will vary depending on the material of the target product. Additionally, the appearance of the colors will differ based on surface finish and material composition, so we recommend checking the colors through prototypes first. 【 Applicable Materials 】 The two materials that can produce the five colors are primarily SUS304 and SUS316. Moreover, the brighter the surface is polished, the brighter the colors will be. On the other hand, SUS430, SUS410, and SUS420 will result in darker tones, so we generally recommend black for these materials. ◇◇ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us ◇◇

【Surface Treatment Example】 Oxidation Coloring to Improve Visibility [When the tray remains stainless steel color (left photo)] When white parts, light-colored parts, or small parts are placed in a stainless steel tray, if the tray remains stainless steel in color, the parts become difficult to see, and it may appear as if no parts are placed at all. [When the tray is colored with oxidation coloring (right photo)] As a result of applying oxidation coloring to the stainless steel tray, even when light-colored parts or small parts are placed in it, the tray has color, making the parts much more visible. In this way, oxidation coloring is utilized in environments that handle light-colored parts or small parts with the aim of "improving visibility." Additionally, due to the advantages of being a "non-peeling coating" and "color without coloring agents," oxidation coloring can be safely used in the food and medical fields, where contamination is strictly monitored.

[Surface Treatment Example] Oxidation Coloring of Medical Tweezers Oxidation coloring technology is utilized in a wide range of fields, including dentistry, internal medicine, surgery, and orthopedics, and we believe it is a "cutting-edge color treatment technology that is friendly to both people and the environment" that meets the needs of the medical device industry, which requires small quantities of various products. It is mainly used for purposes such as identification by treatment type and improving corrosion resistance, and it also alleviates the cold feeling of medical instruments with metallic luster by coloring them through oxidation.
