CORTEN is a structural steel that, due to its unique properties and exposure to the environment, develops a rich orange hue, which gradually evolves into a protective patina, making the product long-lasting and nearly eternal.
This natural aging process takes time. However, with the growing global popularity of Corten steel, architects, manufacturers, and designers often face various challenges: How can the color development be accelerated? How can the surface be made uniformly smooth or given different textures? How can the patina be fixed in place? How can the surface be made non-staining? How can the metal be prepared for indoor use without requiring an extensive outdoor aging process? These and many other questions arise when working with Corten steel.
In an attempt to address these challenges, manufacturers often resort to improvising with ineffective, expensive, or even homemade solutions that rarely produce the desired results. In many cases, these methods damage the metal, resulting in an uneven and inconsistent color.
Now, there is a reliable solution for all aspects of Corten steel treatment and application. In this section, you will find specialized chemical products designed to enhance and control the patina development of Corten steel, helping you achieve the perfect aesthetic result.
