It is ideal for handles, faucets, lighting, accessories, furniture components, window and door frames, architectural details, display elements, and all projects where metal plays a leading role in design.

Directly applicable to iron, aluminum, zamak, brass, and galvanized surfaces such as nickel, chrome, rhodium, palladium, silver, and nickel-free, ESSENCE™ allows for the creation of extremely high-quality galvanic finishes while perfectly preserving the definition of the original substrate. The result is a surface characterized by exceptional fullness, luminosity, and iridescence, capable of enhancing every detail with timeless elegance.

ESSENCE™ is a system developed for industrial cycles with high-temperature oven drying (140°C), a feature that ensures high mechanical performance, aesthetic uniformity, and maximum repeatability in serial productions for the most demanding sectors.

Through specific protective cycles, ESSENCE™ offers high performance in terms of resistance to scratches, wear, chemical agents, detergents, food, sweat, thermal shock, humidity, and salt spray, preserving the brilliance and quality of the finish over time.
