Bronze Material | Wide and Clear Detail Outlines | Subtle Depth in Patterns
Under the process of photo etching, the outline of a product is transferred from a photographic film to a metal surface, typically bronze. The design is then etched onto the metal using an acidic solution, a step that requires careful handling of all acidic agents and mixtures to ensure safety and effectiveness. The recessed areas inside the metal are colored according to design specifications, and each color is cured in an oven until fully applied. After these steps, individual product shapes are cut from the entire metal sheet and further processed with electroplating to enhance durability and aesthetics. Finally, the product surface can be optionally coated with a protective synthetic resin (known as an AP layer) to improve weather resistance and prevent fading.
