Spectral Coating

Spectral coloring modifies the surface of the material, allowing inoxnet^® cable products to be elegantly colored in shades of black while retaining their precise shapes, flexibility and robust color durability.

Process Description

Spectral coating is an electrochemical process in which no dyes or pigments are applied to the stainless steel surface, but rather the transparent chromium oxide layer of the stainless steel is built up. The interference effect of the light is used for the coloring: depending on the chromium oxide layer thickness achieved, the composition of the light spectrum and the viewing angle, different color effects develop. However, it should be noted that due to variations in the electrochemical process, the color results may differ based on the material and surface properties of the workpieces. Thus components like ropes, ferrules, fittings or frames may not be exactly same color.

Spectral-colored stainless steel surfaces do not age, do not get bleach out or peel off, they are corrosion resistant, and can withstand temperatures up to 200° C.

The spectral coating process requires a longer duration compared to alternative methods. It's essential to note that the product shipment timeline will be extended to approximately 6-8 weeks, considering this additional processing duration.

Advantages / disadvantages

• Long-Lasting
• Remains the flexibilty of stainless steel cable mesh
• Do not peel off or bleach out
• Shades of black ( may differ at each individual product)
• High Lead time – 6-8 week
