The blackest black ever - discovery

[MS44]

Just read this in today's London Times about a new paint. Sounds like it will be more expensive than Dulux though ...

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black. (http://www.spinaltap.com/home.html)

It is not a paint, MS44.

I wonder if they will advertise on TV. I would love to hear the reactions to a "Super Black" jingle.

From the _online_ article...

The printer’s ink on this page absorbs 95 to 96 per cent.

This technology isnt really new.

Nickel Phos alloys have been deposited for years, and also sent black.

I used to apply it to aluminium castings. The laughable thing is that for 15 years the only way to get the coating off if it had a problem (Blisters, bad adhesion etc) was to strip in in conc nitric acid, and while you were doing this it erm...............turned black.

In fact It was used as a black coating in several projects we carried out at the time. I guess we just didnt see it as being that revolutionary.

oh well.
