Anti Wash for Corten Steel

PRO IRON 1800™ is the professional protective coating developed by Molteni Vernici to preserve the authentic aesthetic of Corten Steel® over time, maintaining its natural materiality unchanged and protecting it from the effects of atmospheric runoff. This solution is designed to enhance oxidized metal without altering its visual identity, ensuring virtually imperceptible protection.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, PRO IRON 1800™ creates a compact, transparent, and highly resistant protective film that limits the release of typical oxide runoff caused by exposure to atmospheric agents, helping to preserve the aesthetic integrity of Corten Steel® and surrounding surfaces.

Designed for the world of outdoor design, contemporary architecture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract, marine, and landscape design, PRO IRON 1800™ is ideal for architectural facades, window and door frames, cladding, pergolas, ventilated facades, gates, fences, artworks, urban furniture elements, hotels, resorts, contemporary villas, squares, parks, and projects where Corten Steel® is a distinctive element of the architectural language.

Its formulation protects the surface while perfectly preserving the natural texture of the metal and its characteristic oxidized effect, without creating visible thickness or altering the material value of the substrate. Customizable versions are also available, which allow for slight modulation of the Corten Steel® tone, while still preserving its natural depth and chromatic richness.

PRO IRON 1800™ is specifically designed for applications on Corten Steel® and is primarily intended for outdoor use, where it ensures long-lasting protection even in particularly severe environmental conditions. It can also be used indoors on items not subject to frequent handling.

The product is ready to use and can be applied by pneumatic spray, roller, brush, or cloth, easily adapting to both on-site work and maintenance and restoration projects.

PRO IRON 1800™ offers high performance in terms of resistance to wear, thermal shock, atmospheric agents, and aging, helping to preserve the original appearance of Corten Steel® over time and reducing the runoff phenomenon typical of oxidized surfaces.

With PRO IRON 1800™, Molteni Vernici provides architects, designers, and applicators with a professional technology that protects Corten Steel® without compromising its appeal, ensuring the perfect balance between preservation, durability, and architectural aesthetics.
