COPPER SHIELD ®: This coating is specially formulated for use on copper, and actually
enhances the natural beauty of new copper. It contains no substances that will react
chemically with copper. Copper Shield® is crystal clear, and formulated from a blend of
acrylic resins specifically designed for use on copper. Copper Shield® also contains a UV
inhibitor that prevents darkening due to sunlight exposure, and an agent to prevent
corrosion from occurring underneath the paint. Normal clear enamel or lacquer paints will
not prevent the aging of copper. Copper Shield® will protect the new copper for a period of
up to 10-12 years in an exterior application.
