PATINA ROMA™ Iron Red Oxidant

Patina Roma™ is the reagent developed by Molteni Vernici to create authentic red oxidations on iron, transforming the surface through a true chemical reaction that restores all the expressive power of oxidized metal. Inspired by the warm tones of natural iron shaped by time, it generates living, deep surfaces rich in character, where every nuance is the result of the material's evolution.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, Patina Roma™ reacts directly with iron, steel, and PowerMetal™ Iron PM-2480 liquid metal, developing a true natural oxidation characterized by intense iron-red tones and rich chromatic layering. The result is an authentic, unrepeatable surface perfectly integrated into the material, capable of enhancing any architectural project.

Designed for the world of interior and outdoor design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract, marine, and architecture, Patina Roma™ finds application in boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, resorts, showrooms, contemporary villas, museums, art installations, and exclusive residences. It is ideal for decorative paneling, doors, boiserie, scenic walls, receptions, counters, sculptural elements, cladding, custom-made furniture, and architectural details where the natural oxidation of iron becomes the protagonist of the project.

The particular technology developed by Molteni Vernici allows for true cold oxidation of iron, eliminating the need for traditional electrolytic treatments and enabling application even on large surfaces and complex geometries with high chromatic control, uniformity, and repeatability of the result.

Ready to use, Patina Roma™ can be applied by spraying, brushing, or immersion, adapting perfectly to both artisanal craftsmanship and industrial production processes, and offering maximum creative freedom to architects, designers, and material artists.

Patina Roma™ can be used both indoors and outdoors with Molteni Vernici's specific protective cycles, which stabilize the aesthetic result and guarantee high performance resistance to atmospheric agents, UV rays, wear, and detergents.

With Patina Roma™, Molteni Vernici brings the authenticity of iron oxidations to the world of contemporary architecture, offering a technology capable of transforming material into a living element, where time, color, and chemistry become an integral part of the project.
