Product Description
PERMALAC ORIGINAL
Direct-To-Metal Clear Coat
Neither Water, Wind, Rain, Hail, UV or Salt Water Air will stop Permalac!
Fountain of the Muses, 15 life-size Bronze Sculptures, is one of the most visited places for art at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrels Inlet, SC. The Bronze Sculptures in the reflecting pool and fountain were recently refinished with Permalac. The Sculptures are exposed to sun and weather and the constantly moving water of the fountain.
Permalac preserves the appearance and integrity of the Bronze Sculptures*
PERMALAC is a crystal clear, durable, air-dry coating clear coat that protects all exposed steel & metal from corrosion from the effects of UV, salt water air, wind, sand, sun, acid rain, dog urines, etc. It will protect exposed metal from corrosion for up to 8 years for indoor metals & 5 years for outdoor metals. It is a DTM (direct-to-metal) clear coat and functions equally well if used over or under other coatings. Its proven reliability has been tested in countless field applications from special architectural finishes, to automotive (or motorcycle) trim, to marine hardware, lighting fixtures, bronze sculptures, to stainless steel signage...
PERMALAC always achieves superior results.
PERMALAC has UV inhibitors that are superior to any comparable product currently available. Its resistance to salt air atmosphere makes it the perfect solution for all kinds of seaside applications from cast iron fences to aluminum parking lot lamp posts. Sculptors have found PERMALAC an effective sealant for proprietary oxidizing or coloring processes used to create antique patina and stunning effects on cast bronze or other installations.
PERMALAC cures to an exceptionally hard finish and can withstand abrasives such as wind borne sand. Permalac protective clear coatings can be sprayed or brushed on. It air dries to the touch in less than 5 minutes and dries hard to a virtually indestructible finish in less than an hour. When it comes time to re-coat in 5 to 8 years, simply remove the old PERMALAC with acetone & apply new Permalac for another 5-8 years worth of protection.

Also, Check out the Rafai Ironwork Protection Study that Permalac was a part of. Permalac came out the winner to protect against corrosion on iron. It protects all metal from the effects of UV and salt water air. The study is enclosed as an attachment.
