Precious metals are naturally resistant to corrosion, yet daily use exposes them to environmental factors that can lead to tarnishing, discoloration and even technical malfunctions. Our decorative coatings provide targeted protection, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functionality for a variety of applications.

Umicore’s antitarnish solutions deliver dependable protection for decorative precious metals. This ultra-thin, transparent layer shields surfaces from oxidation, discoloration, and wear while preserving the color and gloss. Chemically resistant and environmentally friendly, our antitarnish coatings are free from solvents, CFCs, CHCs, hydrocarbons, and chromium compounds, ensuring they’re safe for both users and the environment.
