CORTEN is a structural steel that, thanks to its properties and exposure to the environment, develops a rich orange color which gradually changes, forming a protective layer (patina) that makes the product last a lifetime.

This process takes quite a long time, so as this steel rapidly gains popularity worldwide, more and more architects, manufacturers, and designers face a range of challenges: how to speed up color development? How to make the Corten surface uniformly smooth or achieve different textures? How to fix the color in place? How to make the product non-staining? How to prepare the metal for indoor use without the long outdoor weathering process? And many other similar problems…

n

To solve these problems, manufacturers often improvise with ineffective, expensive, often homemade solutions that rarely deliver results, damage the metal itself, and leave its color looking uneven and inconsistent.

n

At last, we have solutions for every CORTEN steel processing and application scenario. In this section you will find chemical products designed for treating Corten steel so that it looks exactly the way you want.
