These metal composites do not conduct electricity and may be sprayed, brushed,
rolled or cast in solid form. Once cured, the metal composite
exhibits the characteristics of the actual metal with regard to texture,
luster, heat conductivity and reflection. They may be sanded,
sandblasted, polished, ground, machined, engraved, clear coated and
treated in the same manner as the actual metal.
These permanent metal coatings
are not metal like or simulated metal… they are real metal. This
is not a metal suspension system. Metal suspension systems
experience fallout which causes variations in color, finish and the
actual density of metal within the mixture. This patented system is a
homogenous mixture containing pure metal granules, hybrid polymer resin
solution binder and catalyst. We provide these coatings in Brass,
Bronze, Copper, Nickel Silver, Stainless Steel, GSM, Iron, Aluminum and several custom alloys. Because they are manufactured using the actual metals,
they react the same as the actual metals do. This means they can be
provided in a variety of patinas, antiques and polished finishes or
simply allowed to age naturally. Imagine having the freedom to design
interior and exterior space without conflict between available
materials.
The interior and
exterior use of these extraordinary coatings is almost limitless! Since
there is no heat or evaporation involved, there is no distortion or
shrinkage of the composite metal material or the substrate. They can be
applied seamlessly to virtually any stable substrate and have passed
numerous adhesion and freeze/thaw tests. In 1996 an experimental
ocean-going skiff was coated with Copper Metal Composite and placed in
the ocean. To date, it has not been removed and shows no signs of
corrosion or marine life. It does show the expected natural copper
patina.
