PATINA NAPOLI™ Burnishing Oxidizer for Iron

Patina Napoli™ is the reagent developed by Molteni Vernici to create authentic black patinas on iron through a genuine chemical reaction. This technology is designed to transform the surface into a deep, intense, and elegant material, capable of expressing the full strength of burnished metal with a contemporary and timeless language.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, Patina Napoli™ reacts directly with iron and with PowerMetal™ Iron PM-2480 liquid metal, developing a true controlled oxidation that generates deep matte black tones and natural burnishing rich in nuances. The result is an authentic, tactile, and unique surface, where the chemistry of the metal becomes an integral part of the design.

Designed for the world of interior and outdoor design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract projects, marine, and architecture, Patina Napoli™ finds application in boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, resorts, showrooms, contemporary villas, museums, art installations, and exclusive residences. It is ideal for decorative panels, doors, boiserie, feature walls, reception desks, counters, sculptural elements, cladding, custom furnishings, and architectural details where burnished iron becomes the focal point of the design.

The special formulation allows for authentic cold burnishing, eliminating the need for traditional galvanic or thermal treatments. The surface develops a deep matte black tone with high visual richness, maintaining the natural character of iron and offering perfect aesthetic control even in the most complex projects.

The system can be applied by spraying, brushing, or immersion, easily adapting to both artisanal craftsmanship and industrial production processes, and allowing for the treatment of artifacts of any size.

Patina Napoli™ can be used both indoors and outdoors with Molteni Vernici's specific protective cycles, which stabilize the surface and ensure high performance resistance to weathering, UV rays, wear, and detergents, preserving the aesthetic quality of the burnishing over time.

With Patina Napoli™, Molteni Vernici offers architects, designers, and material artists a technology capable of transforming iron into an intense and refined surface, where natural oxidation becomes an authentic design language at the service of contemporary architecture.
