Oxidant for Iron

REDOX™ is the reagent developed by Molteni Vernici to create authentic natural oxidations with intense red hues, transforming iron through a true chemical reaction capable of enhancing the full expressive power of the material. It doesn't just color the surface; it accompanies its natural evolution, generating deep and unrepeatable nuances that make each creation unique.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, REDOX™ reacts exclusively with iron and with PowerMetal™ Iron PM-2480 liquid metal, activating a controlled oxidation process that enhances the metal with vibrant shades of intense red. The result is a living surface, rich in character and depth, capable of expressing a contemporary aesthetic language through the authenticity of the material.

Designed for the world of interior and outdoor design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract, marine, and architecture, REDOX™ is ideal for boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, resorts, showrooms, contemporary villas, museums, art installations, and exclusive residences. It finds application on decorative panels, doors, boiseries, scenic walls, reception desks, counters, sculptural elements, coverings, custom-made furniture, and architectural details where the natural color of oxidation becomes the protagonist of the project.

The special formulation allows for oxidations characterized by intense red nuances, capable of giving the surface a strong and contemporary aesthetic identity. Each treatment develops its own chromatic evolution, transforming iron into a living material where light, texture, and color continuously interact.

The ready-to-use single-component formulation can be applied by spraying, brushing, or immersion, easily adapting to both artisanal processes and industrial applications, and allowing for the treatment of small, medium, and large elements.

REDOX™ can be used both indoors and outdoors through specific application cycles. The oxidized surfaces can then be protected with Molteni Vernici's specific systems to stabilize the aesthetic result and ensure high performance resistance to atmospheric agents, UV rays, wear, and detergents.

With REDOX™, Molteni Vernici offers architects, designers, and material artists a creative tool that transforms iron into a surface with intense chromatic personality, where natural oxidation becomes an exclusive design element capable of bringing authentic, unrepeatable, and profoundly contemporary works to life.
