FAQ
1.
Is it paint?
No, it is not metal paint. It is a cold sprayable metal composite, comprised
of up to 95% pure metal.
2.
Is it metal plating?
No, metal plating is an electrochemical process. VeroMetal®,
is a cold spray metallization process that can be applied to a variety
of surfaces. These include but are not limited to: Laminate, melamine,
wood, plastic, gypsum, fiberglass, ceramics, concrete, foam, porcelain,
glass, and metal.
3.
Is it powder coating?
No, powder coating is baked on. VeroMetal® is sprayed on, rolled
on, hand-applied, or poured on. It also may be cast. It is not heat cured.
4.
Can it be used on outdoor products?
Yes, over the proper substrate and when properly applied. There is a documented
ASTM testing with zero breakdown equivalent to 30 years.
5.
Does VeroMetal® require special equipment?
No, most manufacturers have the necessary equipment, such as spray guns
and polishing items. VeroMetal® GmbH can assist you in selecting
