 LuminOre® Gives
Any Surface the Benefits of Solid-Cast Metal
LuminOre’s patented cold-spray process applies a beautiful and protective
layer of metal to create countless products that otherwise might be too impractical
or too expensive to produce by traditional casting or forging. From foam to
fiberglass, cardboard to concrete, LuminOre® composite metals adhere to
almost any surface, in virtually any configuration or design, and provide the
distinguished benefits of a cast or forged metal — including texture,
luster and heat conductivity — but without the weight and expense.
Strong & Durable
Suitable for exterior and interior use, LuminOre Composite Metals are real
metals and do not crack, chip nor peel, and they can withstand 2,364 psi without
pulling away from the substrate. LuminOre metals are non-corrosive, non-conductive
of electricity and possess an almost non-existent leach rate. Additionally,
LuminOre traditional metals are a rated as ‘Class A, Class 1’ materials,
thus they will not support flames.
 Easy
to Apply
LuminOre is a cold-spray process which uses standard HVLP (high volume, low-pressure)
spray equipment, so there is absolutely no heat used during the application.
The secret to the cold application is the chemical reaction which occurs between
the LuminOre metal and a hybrid polymer binder that actually transforms the
two materials into an all-new composite metal. Possessing qualities that are
greater than the sum of its parts, the new composite metal is sprayable through
a narrow 0.036-inch nozzle. (LuminOre metals are not a suspension of metal
particles in a polymer system, but are a true composite metal.)
Once applied or cast, LuminOre can be treated just like forged metal — i.e.
sanded, sandblasted, polished, brushed, acid brushed, machined or even given
a hot patina wash.
Cost-Effective
Crafting objects of solid brass or steel or other metals are expensive projects.
In fact, the expense and weight involved usually make these projects completely
unrealistic and unobtainable. However, LuminOre is composed of up to 95 percent
metal so it provides the look, feel and durability of solid-cast metal without
the expense, weight, inconvenience and time required in creating forged metal
products. Applied at a thickness of 8 mils to 10 mils (1 mils = 0.001), LuminOre
proves to be most economical. |
