Standard color SILVER frames are an electro polishing process that brightens stainless steel. Chromium and nickel, which are components of stainless steel, are electrolytically drawn to the surface. The effect is very similar to chrome plating, except there is no adhesion to be concerned with. The layer is a homogenous constituent of the metal and cannot delaminate or peel. This nickel chromium mono-oxide layer is extremely corrosion resistant.
Our BLACK frames are a black chrome process with a special activator and black chrome applied directly to the stainless steel eliminating the traditional multi layer pealing. The frames are then polished in walnut shell to add even more luster to the black chrome. The AA black roller tip has a two-layer process with nickel and black chrome.
Our GOLD and SUNDANCE frames are a titanium nitride process performed in a chamber at high temperature adhering titanium molecules directly to the stainless steel frames.
