PATINA VENEZIA™ Copper Green Oxidiser

Patina Venezia™ is the reagent developed by Molteni Vernici to create authentic natural oxidations in the characteristic shades of copper green. Inspired by the historic patinas that have, over time, made the roofs, domes, facades, and artworks of historic cities iconic, this technology transforms copper into a living, elegant surface rich in material depth.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, Patina Venezia™ reacts directly with copper and with PowerMetal™ Copper PM-2410 liquid metal, activating a true natural oxidation that generates surfaces characterized by deep green nuances, chromatic variations, and extraordinary aesthetic richness. The result is an authentic, unrepeatable patina perfectly integrated into the material.

Designed for the world of interior and outdoor design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract furnishing, yachting, and architecture, Patina Venezia™ 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, scenic walls, reception desks, counters, sculptural elements, cladding, custom furniture, and architectural details where the natural evolution of copper becomes the protagonist of the design.

This particular technology allows for the development of a true green patina directly on the metal surface, without resorting to traditional heat treatments. The process occurs entirely at cold temperatures, making it possible to treat even large elements and complex geometries with high aesthetic control, uniformity, and repeatability of the result.

Ready to use, Patina Venezia™ can be applied by spraying, brushing, or immersion, easily adapting to both artisanal craftsmanship and industrial production processes, allowing for maximum creative freedom.

Patina Venezia™ 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 Patina Venezia™, Molteni Vernici brings the timeless charm of historic copper patinas to the world of contemporary architecture, offering architects, designers, and material artists a creative tool capable of generating authentic oxidized surfaces where nature, chemistry, and design merge into a single aesthetic expression.
