DuraBlack™ engraving is C02 laser markable aluminum for durable, on-demand marking for harsh operating environments. In side-by-side tests, DuraBlack engraving outperforms black anodized aluminum and laser markable acrylic tape in select applications. DuraBlack™ is resistant to sunlight (UV-radiation), abrasion, high-temperatures, salt-spray and chemical exposure. Because of its ability to perform across a range of challenging environments, DuraBlack™ meets several government, industrial and military specifications including MIL-STD 130N, A-A-50271 (MIL-P-514D) and MIL-STD-15024F, Type L.
Composed of a multi-level coating available upon 0.005″ or 0.020″ thick aluminum. DuraBlack™ can be attatched to either curved or flat surfaces with adhesive, rivets or screws. It is imaged with any C02 marking laser to produce a durable, high-resolution barcode or human-readable image.
