From the 16th century to the 17th century, lacquer was introduced to Europe on a large scale for the first time through trade with Japanese.

Many metals suffer from surface tarnishing and even corrosion, if left open to the atmosphere / air. Surfaces can be protected through the application of different finishes, such as paint or powder coating. However, sometimes the surface of metals can be attractive without the need for a coloured coating. This is when lacquer is most useful. Lacquer is usually applied as a clear coating, leaving the surface texture on view. Lacquer forms a protective clear layer on metals and is particularly useful on brass, aluminum, silver and copper, which are often in the form of decorative items. When lacquered, polishing and cleaning will no longer be required.Salespeople that act as an extension of your purchasing department (we will get any metal products you need)

It sets by a process called "aqua-polymerization", absorbing oxygen to set; placing in a humid environment allows it to absorb more oxygen from the evaporation of the water. Materials to be lacquered, must have a clean surface, with all dirt / grease removed. Lacquer should be applied in a dust free environment, with workers wearing appropriate protective clothing and breathing mask. Usually, the spray can version of lacquer is the easiest to apply, as the product can be sprayed lightly, allowing plenty of time between coats.
