Hello? I am from South Korea.


----This is a question about Zipper coating.---------------------------------------------



A small zipper company where I've worked, is looking for a solution for effectly coating a brass zipper into black without any yellow remains.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



They burn Brass(=Copper + Zinc) zipper to make its color black. (They are producing black zippers)


---- The Problem is:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Many times the zipper is not entirely burnt



so the yellow surface of original brass appears, which should never happen to a black zipper.


-------The Question is:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


  1. A Knowhow to effectively & PERFECTLY coat the brass zipper black without any yellow remains


  1. or any alloys with similar COST and STRENGTH but with BLACK color


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sodium chlorite in concentrated sodium hydroxide solution at near boiling temperature. it took 30 seconds or so.

FWIW, i used a commercial Enthone product that comes premade as a powder. sorry. i can't recall the item number.
