QUARTZ-ZINC® offers an appearance and texture close to the natural patina developed over time by the Natural VM ZINC®.
QUARTZ-ZINC® is obtained by immersing natural VM ZINC® in a solution which modifies the crystalline structure of the surface of the metal at a thickness of approximately one micron. This treatment is a durable chemical conversion of the surface structure of the metal.
This is not a finish but a genuine, long-lasting treatment of the surface.
The velvet grey tones of QUARTZ-ZINC® and its structural flexibility bring out the character of a building from the outset. Appreciated for refurbishment, its natural-looking colour blends well with other existing construction materials.
Our QUARTZ-ZINC® is protected with a 100% recyclable organic resin which protects the material even more.
Pre-weathered QUARTZ-ZINC® is produced using a surface treatment on Natural VM ZINC®. The pre-weathering treatment completed at the plant gradually evolves and coalesces over time with the naturally formed zinc patina. To ensure a consistent finish we recommend profiling and installing the components of a new project using a parent coil.
