Metalier Coatings

Metalier's water-based metal coatings are new, revolutionary and unique. Using a water-based binder instead of our traditional HP binder has changed the face of the composite metals industry and is AVAILABLE ONLY from Metalier.

The benefits for the end-enjoyer of our water-based finishes are many. The product has no unpleasant smell and cures in two hours rather than 24, so in situ applications are more feasible. And VOC levels of the principal ingredients total less than 5 gm per litre so the water-based technology is more environmentally friendly.

The benefits of the technology are even greater for the applicator and include...

• Fewer ingredients to mix so there is less chance of costly errors.
• No acetone, gun-cleaner, thinner or catalyst used so it is quicker and easier to make up a mixture and there is a significant saving in the cost of liquid consumables.
• The finish dries in hours, not days.
• Polishing times are less so projects are completed quicker with less labour cost.
• Because of the speed of finishing, fewer other dry consumables such as sandpaper and buffers are used so the applicator saves money.
• The water-based binder has a longer shelf-life.
• It isn't hazardous so shipping is easier and cheaper.
• The "no-smell" is bliss for the applicator.

Metalier's water-based metal coatings can be applied to almost any surface.

The ingredients for our smooth-surface version are...

• The highest quality sintered metal powders
• A proprietary binder

For our textured-surface version, the ingredients are...

• The highest quality sintered metal powders
• A proprietary thickening binder

These ingredients are mixed together and sprayed using compressed air and HVLP guns for a smooth finish. For a textured finish the mixture can be applied with almost any object you care to dream up - a roller, spatula, trowel. We have used them all!

After curing, which can take approximately two hours, the hardened metal surface is polished, patinated or waxed depending on the finish required.

Material Safety Data Sheets are available for most of the ingredients in the water-based mixture including the metal powders. We don't have an MSDS for the water! Please Contact Us for a copy of some or all of the MSDS.
