Hammer paint is often used for decorative purposes, such as on metal surfaces, to give them a unique and visually appealing look. It can be applied to various objects, including furniture, appliances, automotive parts, and other metal surfaces where a hammered metal effect is desired.

The paint is typically available in a variety of colors, allowing you to achieve different metallic finishes, such as silver, gold, bronze, or copper. The textured appearance helps to hide imperfections and surface irregularities, making it a popular choice for DIY projects and refurbishing older items.

When applying hammer paint, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding surface preparation, application techniques, and drying times for optimal results.

In order to support customer development and evaluation, the Deco Additive Application Center has made some attempts to showcase the patterns created by hammer finish additives for reference.

In waterborne hammer pattern paint, the unique textured appearance is achieved through the use of hammer finish additives. These additives are incorporated into the paint formulation and work based on their incompatibility with the rest of the paint system. When the paint is applied and dries, these additives separate or phase out from the paint film, creating the textured or hammered effect. The incompatibility of these additives with the rest of the system leads to the formation of distinct patterns that resemble hammered metal.

Various factors can influence the outcome and quality of waterborne hammer pattern paint. Here we make test through different viscosities.

In the above experiment, controlling the viscosity of the hammer finish paint achieved better patterns. If the viscosity is too high, the hammer finish additive cannot migrate to the surface of the coating, resulting in no pattern formation. If the viscosity is too low, the hammer finish additive will re-aggregate on the surface of the coating, leading to uneven patterns. The appropriate viscosity allows the hammer finish additive to migrate to the surface of the coating without re-aggregation, resulting in uniform patterns.
