Green patines are the most used in casting bronze sculptures.
We have a wide variety of green Patinas that you can consult on our PATINES page
Green patins are usually based on Copper Nitrate, sometimes mixed with other types of chemicals such as Iron Nitrate.
They are applied by us through brushing or spray after heating the Bronze surface with a torch.
The chemicals or mixture of chemicals will react with the bronze surface and thus create a permanent color on the bronze surface.
For the application of Patine, one must be very careful, as it is necessary to use protective gloves and goggles, as well as respiratory masks.
Each Art Foundry develops its own patines and each foundry has its own recipes that it keeps secret.
