"Catalana" Corrosion Activator by Kraski Breez is far more than a simple metal-aging agent—it’s an artistic tool for crafting custom patina effects with rich, vivid color tones. Unlike conventional rust activators that produce only reddish-brown oxidation, the "Catalana" series features colored formulations that, through a controlled chemical reaction, generate dynamic, painterly patinas—ranging from warm greenish hues to cool turquoise shades.
The set includes three popular 1 kg color variants:
- №1 – Green: A classic malachite tone, perfect for antique bronze finishes and architectural metalwork.
- №2 – Emerald: A deep, saturated shade with a subtle bluish undertone, evoking noble, aged patina.
- №3 – Light Blue: A delicate turquoise that lends metal a light, contemporary aesthetic—frequently used in loft and art interiors.
Each activator works via controlled corrosion on ferrous metals (steel, cast iron) and is applied over the dedicated "Catalana" base primer. Within hours, a chemical reaction begins, creating an organic, non-uniform surface with natural color gradients and textural depth. The process is finalized with a corrosion fixative, which halts further oxidation and permanently locks in the visual effect for long-term durability.
