Seven Antique Finish Options Offered By Birchwood Casey – Provides Accurate Coloration For Demanding Designers
Eden Prairie, Minnesota: Antique coloration, tone and finish are important considerations for designers and manufacturers of architectural steel and hardware components. Birchwood Casey answers these needs by offering seven different antique finish options.
Often a better alternative to ordinary paint finishes, Birchwood Casey’s antique processes produce a high quality, hand crafted antique finish that enhances the value appearance of the decorative hardware. With the increasing demand for decorative finishes on high-end decorative hardware, lighting fixtures and architectural elements, designers are demanding higher quality, non-painted finishes.
Birchwood Casey antique finishes provide a range of pleasing colors and tones on most metal surfaces including steel, brass, bronze, copper, pewter, aluminum, silver, nickel and zinc. Color ranges can include black, golden to chocolate browns and other red or green color variations, depending on the application.
All the processes are simple to use and typically require: (1) surface cleaning; (2) water rinsing; (3) colorization/oxidizing; (4) water rinsing and (5) highlighting and/or sealing. The processing steps can be customized to produce unique color tones.
The processes are operator friendly utilizing room temperature solutions that produce no fumes. Consequently, they can be used in either manual short run or high volume production process lines. The coloring operation can be set up as a stand-alone line or integrated into an existing plating line. The coloring solutions can be easily tested and replenished to maintain optimum concentration and produce consistent results from batch to batch.
The Birchwood Casey antiquing processes can be set up to produce zero discharge of rinse waters to the drain using their ion exchange system. This accessory simplifies operation and eliminates environmental liability.
