Oxidized metal effect paints: Corten, Rust and copper, brass and bronze oxidation

Transforming a surface in something that looks antiqued and oxidized, with a rusty and corten effect for example, is one of the most frequent requests that we receive at Cromas’ Research&Development laboratory, that for this reason developed a unique and complete range of oxidized metal effect paints.
Oxidized metal materic effect paints are divided mainly into two big categories: real oxidation effect paints, where metal dusts and microspheres are oxidized on the surface and paints that imitate the oxidized effect, where the oxidation is created through the use of pigments, microspheres and other components that provide a realistic texture to sight and tact.

Paints with real oxidation have the following characteristics:

• Maximum realistic effect
• Every surface has a real and unique oxidation
• More steps cycle
• Limited outdoor resistance

While the paints that imitate the oxidation have the following main characteristics:

• Simplicity of application and look reproducibility
• Fast cycle with a few steps
• Good or optimal outdoor resistance (to elements and UV radiations)

Following, there are our main effects. By clicking on the link you can directly visit the page of the effect of your interest:
