Sanded Metallic Varnish

2KSMETXT™ is the sandblasted metallic finish developed by Molteni Vernici to create surfaces with a tactile, contemporary, and elegant character. The unique sandblasted microtexture diffuses light uniformly, giving the surface a refined visual depth and an exclusive tactile perception, ideal for the most prestigious architectural and design projects.

Developed by the Molteni Vernici Research and Development Center, 2KSMETXT™ is a 2K two-component finish made with new-generation nanoceramic resins, designed to achieve an exclusive 20-gloss sandblasted metallic effect. The unique formulation creates a completely opaque, uniform, and tactile surface that does not require overcoating with transparent topcoats, helping to simplify the production cycle and increase industrial efficiency.

Designed for the world of interior and outdoor design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract, marine, and architecture, 2KSMETXT™ finds application in boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, resorts, showrooms, contemporary villas, executive offices, and exclusive residences. It is ideal for doors, decorative panels, boiserie, reception desks, counters, custom furniture, tables, lighting, profiles, handles, cladding, window frames, and furnishing accessories where the tactile quality of the surface becomes the focal point of the project.

The unique sandblasted texture gives the finish a technical and contemporary elegance, reducing light reflection and enhancing shapes, geometries, and architectural details. The surface also helps to mask minor imperfections in the substrate, ensuring an extremely uniform and high-quality aesthetic result.

Applicable with direct adhesion to metals and, using the appropriate Molteni Vernici cycles, also to plastics, MDF, wood, and composite materials, 2KSMETXT™ offers high aesthetic uniformity, perfect industrial repeatability, and maximum design freedom.

Available in the main RAL, PANTONE®, and NCS color scales, 2KSMETXT™ allows the finish to be integrated into the most sophisticated architectural, retail, and contract specifications, maintaining color consistency even in mass production.

2KSMETXT™ can be used both indoors and outdoors with appropriate application cycles. Using specific Molteni Vernici systems, it offers high performance in terms of resistance to salt spray, wear, abrasion, aging, UV rays, sweat, chemical agents, detergents, and food, preserving the sandblasted texture and aesthetic quality of the surface over time.

With 2KSMETXT™, Molteni Vernici offers architects, designers, and manufacturers a new-generation sandblasted metallic finish that combines nanotechnology, tactile elegance, and high technical performance, creating contemporary surfaces destined to stand out over time.
