Corten steel is construction steel that acquires a rich orange colour when it comes into contact with the environment. Over time, this becomes a protective layer (patina), and thanks to this the product lasts forever.
Because this process is quite long and Corten steel is gaining popularity around the world, more and more architects, manufacturers and designers face the following problems: how to speed up the release of colour? How to make a Corten steel surface uniformly smooth or achieve different textures? How to preserve the colour? How to remove oil from the product? How to prepare metal for priming while avoiding a long process outdoors? And many other related questions…
To solve these issues, manufacturers often have to improvise and use ineffective, expensive solutions—sometimes even self-made—that bring little benefit, damage the metal itself and make the metal and colour uneven.
Finally, we have solutions for processing Corten steel. In this section you will find chemical products for processing Corten steel so that it looks the way you want.
