Dull dark chromium
Surface finish
-
Look
Dark / black
Black or dark graphite surface — matte, glossy or satin depending on the specific finish. Discreet, modern look that does not draw attention and suits virtually any strap colour.
-
Abrasion resistance
High
Resists daily use even with active dogs. The surface holds its original appearance for a long time, even when in contact with straps, snaps or other hard surfaces.
-
Corrosion protection
Good
Reliably protects the underlying material during typical outdoor use — rain, dew, occasional wetting. May not be sufficient for permanently wet environments.
-
Nickel
Yes, in interlayer
Nickel is not on the surface but in the interlayer beneath. As long as the top layer is intact, it will not reach the skin. Once the surface wears through, nickel may be released.
| Damp conditions | Outdoor use | Handles typical outdoor conditions without issue — rain, mud, moisture, sweat. No need to dry or treat specially after every water contact. |
|---|---|---|
| Aging | Gradually dulls | Over time loses its original gloss and the tone changes slightly. This does not affect function, but the surface eventually does not look as fresh as at the start. |
| Process | Galvanic | Metal layer applied by electric current in a bath. Even, thin and adhesive coating — the most widespread method for surface finishing of metal parts. |
How matte black chrome is made
Chrome plating with a matte finish: chrome's hardness without the shine. Nickel stays in the underlayer.
What it gives the product
A dark grey matte finish with high abrasion resistance.
When to choose it and when not to
Heavily used dark products – it combines the durability of black chrome with a matte, understated look. For allergy sufferers, matte black instead.
How it ages
Very slowly; the matte finish doesn't highlight scratches.
What it pairs with
Tactical and work products, black webbing.
