1 Litre covers approx. 60m2
Specifically developed for the industry by Calder on behalf of the Lead Sheet Association. Patination oil minimises unsightly staining and imparts a pleasing appearance to newly applied lead sheet and flashings.
Occasionally the patina formed on lead looks patchy and unattractive. In rainy or damp conditions new lead will quickly develop an uneven powdery white, non-adherent coating of lead carbonate, a corrosion product, which is aesthetically unacceptable. The staining of tiles and brickwork spoils the overall appearance of the building,
Patination Oil will minimise this uncontrolled formation of carbonate, improve the hygiene of the job AND impart a pleasing appearance to the lead both ‘before’ and ‘after’ the formation of its final patination.

Question:
Can this be used on old lead?
Answer:
Yes it will polish up old lead but it would need cleaning first
Question:
My glass conservatory roof has lead flashing as a seal against the wall of my house. Over the years a white deposit built up on the windows. The installation company identified the problem and, as it was still under guarantee, they replaced the affected windows. The white deposit is now starting to return after about 3 years. Would an application of patination oil to the lead be of benefit at this stage to limit any further discolouration?
Answer:
Unfortunately the patination oil only helps if applied when the lead is installed to prevent discoloration. I am afraid it will not help in a situation like this where it has already discoloured.
