Product & Process Description:
Most of the base materials used in our application process are imported from overseas. They are comprised of many different types of ground-metal, including bronze, copper, aluminium, steel and brass to name but a few, in addition to other materials such as graphite and tetra-micas. The highly modified carrying agents constitute an ideal medium, and when mixed with the metal powders, provide a uniform, equal-distribution of the metals such that, once cured, the finish is that of the base metal-powder. We also employ epoxy-resins as a top-coat giving some finishes a “glass-like” appearance.

Material Qualities:
Longevity: Ground metal powders, being true-metals, and our modified carrying-bases, carry a warranty, as detailed below, of 5 years under normal circumstances and under normal usage.
Accelerated Weathering Tests conducted in Sydney, Australia, have indicated that the life-span of our metal-coatings can exceed 12 years, with no visible sign of material-deterioration.
Fire-ret ardency: CSIRO and NATA have conducted tests on our process in accordance with Australian Standard 1530.3-1989, specifically identified as Simultaneous Determination of Ignitability, Flame Propagation, Heat Release and Smoke Release. The results, in summary form, were as follows:

Guarantee & Warranty:
The VON STAHL Coating itself is warranted to last a minimum of 5 years, and we of course offer the manufacturer’s warranty on the case upon which the coating is applied. Normal exclusions including fair wear and tear, use of the coated product other than in accordance with it’s design and purpose, and substrate-deterioration apply.
*Excludes smooth finishes when released. |
