A revolutionary technology developed by the company, where liquified semi-precious metals such as zinc, copper or bronze can be and applied to the surface of any substrate. Axolotl Metal provides a source of inspiration for architects and designers.
The technology extends both the design and construction potential of any substrate by lending it the appearance of solid metal with none of the restrictions. Once applied, the surface can be treated as if solid allowing endless finished effects, such as etching, carving and texturing.
Key features and benefits
Axolotl metal coatings are typically only 0.5mm thick and can be applied to virtually any solid surface of any size or shape giving the object the appearance of solid metal without the restrictions such as weight and cost.
Metals that can be applied include zinc, copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, nickel, iron and more. By using real metals it gives us the unique ability to apply natural aging processes such as rust, pearl or verdegris patinas.
Substrates that can be bonded with Axolotl Metal include, but are not limited to, MDF, timber, plaster, ceramics, fibreglass, concrete, acrylic, glass and steel.
Environmentally progressive
Axolotl metals are applied as a veneer and use significantly less metal and less power than the traditional cast or sheet metal process. It is far cleaner with much reduced pollution created through production. Axolotl only uses 100% recycled metals.
Product performance
Axolotl have conducted exhaustive tests on its metals, both in-house and with the assistance of the CSIRO. To ensure the ultimate performance in all situations, it has tested accelerated aging, chemical resistance, foot traffic, ignitability, flame propagation, and heat and smoke release.
