VMZINC QUARTZ-ZINC®

It is a velvet-grey pre-patinated zinc, created by VMZINC in 1993.‎ Its protective patina comes from a process of treating the surface of natural zinc by phosphating.‎ This pre-patination process gives the zinc a patinated appearance right from the start, while being environmentally friendly.‎ It has a quartz grey appearance.‎ Its colour changes very little over time.‎ And its texture is specific to zinc.‎ Bright, warm, QUARTZ-ZINC® evokes the mineral world.‎ QUARTZ-ZINC® blends perfectly with other building materials, making it an ideal product for both contemporary and traditional architecture, for renovation or new construction.‎ It is particularly appreciated: - In façades - For renovations, as it adapts particularly well to older zinc that has already been patinated.‎ It is available for: - Roof and façade elements, including their finishes, - Rainwater drainage systems Technical characteristics of pre-patinates The surface patina is obtained by immersing natural zinc in a solution that modifies the metal's crystalline structure for a minimum thickness of one micron.‎ This is a phosphating process, i.‎e.‎ a chemical transformation of the metal's surface layer that is durable, uniform and stable over time.‎ Continuous metal laminate for roof and facade by Umicore Building Products.‎
