DIRTY PENNY

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the intersection of art and architecture through the use of Dirty Penny Copper, a patinated copper material produced by Zahner. This material is designed to meet EPA standards and is used in various architectural applications.

Specifications and Compliance
Dirty Penny Copper is produced in an EPA-compliant facility, ensuring safe disposal of patina effluent according to local, state, and federal regulations. This compliance ensures the safety of workers and the surrounding community.

Material Characteristics
Dirty Penny Copper is a lead-free, custom-patinated copper-alloy sheet metal. It is part of Zahner's line of raw patinated materials, designed to age gracefully like tanned leather or vintage wine, suitable for both contemporary and historic aesthetics.

Design and Durability
The material features an iridescent surface with a protective oxidized layer that evolves over time. For exterior applications, the appearance changes as it oxidizes, while interior applications can maintain the finish indefinitely if sealed.

Applications
Dirty Penny Copper is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. The patina does not rub off but will change in tone and contrast over time due to atmospheric reactions.

Patina vs. Paint
Patina is a mineralized oxide that forms a protective barrier on metal, unlike paint. It is self-limiting and provides protection from the elements.

Patina vs. Paint Surface patina should not be confused with paint. Patina is a mineralized oxide on metal that is self-limiting (rust, for instance, is not self-limiting because it will continue to eat through a surface). It is a reaction to the elements that in turn provides a protective barrier from the elements. Exterior and Interior Applications Dirty Penny copper can be used on interior and exterior applications. The patina will not rub off. However, over time, the patina appearance will continue to change. As the mineralized patina reacts with the atmosphere, it will darken and change in...
