Testing of pilot 2 m3 exposure chamber for formation of brochantite based patina on copper and copper alloys – objects of practical dimensions

Formation of natural patina on copper and copper alloys objects takes tens of years. There are solutions for patination, which are used in restorers’ practice. However, these artificial patinas are usually based on nitrates, carbonates or chlorides. Patina based on brochantite is the most stable pha...
