In the luxury jewelry and high-end goods sector, titanium is highly valued for its exceptional properties and the unique finishes it can offer.
Unfortunately, the use of this material in this field has always faced a significant issue: its susceptibility to fingerprint marks. The oxidized surface tends to absorb skin oils, causing stains and color alterations on the object.
Request
The main challenge was to solve the fingerprint issue without altering the characteristic coloration of the titanium's surface oxidation.
Developed solution
Alticolor, in collaboration with the laboratory it has been working with for over twenty years, developed a new painting process that eliminates the fingerprint issue while preserving the color shades of the original oxidation.
Validation Tests
Application of the paints on oxidized titanium samples.
Evaluation of anti-fingerprint properties through simulations of skin contact.
Analysis of the preservation of the original oxidation color.
Results
The tests confirmed that Alticolor's new painting process effectively eliminates the fingerprint issue while preserving the desired aesthetics.
The introduction of this process has significantly improved the usability of titanium in the luxury jewelry sector, increasing customer satisfaction and opening new market opportunities for the company and Alticolor.
Alticolor offers a wide range of treatments tailored to companies in the design, jewelry, and high-end goods sectors.
