MATERIALS
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel, better known as Inox. is an iron alloy in which the resistance to cor-
rosion is increased through the addition of chrome and nickel. The principle involves
the protection of the outside surface by chromium oxide and nickel oxide molecules.
These molecules are much bigger than the underlying iron atoms, which prevents the
latter from combining with oxygen to form iron oxides – better known as rust. This
passive layer protects the precious steel and is self-renewing. In order to obtain a
chromium- and nickel oxide skin that is as pure and homogeneous as possible, and
therefore optimally corrosion-resistant, the standard Royal Botania frames are etched
and rinsed with demineralised water after which a passive layer is formed by natural
oxidation. Chlorine is the biggest enemy of stainless steel and can cause a form of
corrosion known as “pitting”. Contamination by chlorides or rusting particles can pen-
etrate the passive layer and cause corrosion in certain places. This is especially import-
ant when near the sea, because of course sea salt is sodium chloride. It is necessary
to give the metal as smooth a surface as possible in order to give it an even greater
resistance to corrosion. This is because if the surface is smooth, there is less chance
for contamination to take hold on the metal surface, thus reducing possible corrosion.
GLASS
Royal Botania offers 4 varieties of coloured glass: clear, smoke, amber and opal. All
handmade and highly suitable for outdoor use.
POWDERCOATED ALUMINIUM
Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal, which combines great mechanical rigidity with light
weight; this makes it especially suitable for making outdoor lighting. If treated correctly
it has a good resistance to corrosion. One of the treatments is powdercoating. After a
chemical pre-treatment an epoxy powder is applied electrostatically and baked. The
advantages are easy cleaning and endless colour variations. Powdercoating is a type
of coating that is applied as a free flowing, dry powder. The coating is typically applied
electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”. Pow-
dercoating provides excellent protection against corrosion.
(ANTIQUE) BRASS
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The darker finish (antique brass) is achieved by
dipping the brass in acid, which gives it an antique look.
