MIDAS Metall® is an industry leader

MIDAS Metall® is seen as a market leader around the world.  Accelaides include prestigious projects, brand owners and designers.  The resume of our successful applicators is certainly the most comprehensive and illustrious. 

MIDAS Metall® remains on top due to the premium-quality natural metal powders and ultimate performance binder.   

They’ve been around for a while and therefore have stood the test of time.  Worldwide applicators have used this system in a wide range of creative projects in prestigious locations with stunning results.

Premium quality with ultimate savings

MIDAS Metall® is the best choice for the most unique, luxurious and durable finish.   When the natural powders are mixed together with a superb binder, the result is superior control with excellent adhesion.   Our 2 part, unit-based system is effectively applied very thinly, offering an ultimate savings with less product.  

Environmentally friendly and sustainable

Weight issues are solved by applying a metal skin on lighter, more economical materials.  Imagine the luxurious look of solid metal on feature walls, reception desks or other fine furniture or cabinets.   Surfaces finished with MIDAS Metall® can mystify the viewer and pass for real metal.

The process of Cold metallization 

The process of cold metallization combines metal powder into a liquid binder.  After combining this 2-part mixture, it is applied, cured, and then polished.   The polishing step is where the magic happens and the results are gently shimmering, boldly textured or polished up to a high gloss.  The surface can either be sealed or simply left natural.  

This 2-part system is sold in 3KG units.   The measured powder is sold in a unit to be mixed with a very specific measure of binder.   

Superior binder

When the natural powders are mixed together with a superb binder, the result is superior control with excellent adhesion.  Together, this 2-part system is effectively applied very thinly, offering an ultimate savings with less product.  

MIDAS Metall® Binders are sold in two viscosity types based on application.  For both binders, an additional product, the DILUTER, helps adjust the viscosity of the binder.   This allows for more coverage and ease of application. 

Even though a solvent-base binder exists, the Water-base is the only medium sold in the USA.  

Applied thinly like a skin

With practiced application, MIDAS Metall® levels so well and melts into the surface resulting in the thinnest metal layer.  So very thin and yet a magnet will stick

The 2.0 SPRAY BINDER is the thinner type used primarily for spray or roll applications for the purpose of creating a thin, metal film.   This binder is so much more than a thinner type of medium.  It is specifically formulated for spray or fine roller applications.  It has superior leveling qualities, producing smooth and well-covered results.

Applied thicker with endless possibilities 

The 2.1 NON-SPRAY BINDER is a thicker formula for everything else (brush, roller, trowel, etc.)  This binder is our most popular type due to the myriad of possible finishes and combinations.  This is where the artistry begins.  Thick enough to be applied by trowel and still manageable with a brush or thick roller.  Thicker applications lend to luxurious, modern, and fresh finishes that are one of a kind.    

Long-lasting durability 

With the innovative MIDAS Metall® binder, the 2-part, unit-based system adheres well to practically any surface and resists cracking or peeling.   Applicators are always confident that MIDAS Metall® will have a solid bond with a well-prepped surface and clients are pleased with the long-lasting finish.

Distinguished on curved surfaces

MIDAS Metall® is very successfully applied on curved surfaces such as reception desks or columns.  MIDAS Metall® hugs the flex surface and mimics the inflections points of metal.  The result is natural, slick, and seamless.

The polishing step unveils the shine

Real metal offers real metal results.  Once cured, finishes can be polished to a wide range of sheens up to a mirror-like finish.  MIDAS Metall® sets itself apart with the superior water-base binder that allows for a bright, high-gloss shine.

Patination, a gift from nature

A magical part about real metal is the oxidation and patination that occurs in nature. This organic maturing and color shift is possible with each of our 18+ natural metal colors.  Normal and environmental wear and tear creates beauty in aging.

For example, some common patinating results:   copper will turn green, steel turns rusty, brass moves toward brown varieties.   

Required training for success 

MIDAS Metall® supports its applicators by requiring a level of training before using the 2-part, unit-based, cold-metallization system.  The products must be stored, mixed, and applied in a specific and regimented way.   The learning curve would be too challenging and expensive without training.    MIDAS Metall® is committed and invested in the success of its applicators.

Training begins at the purchase of the online course presented by Pierre Finkelstein.   Applicators-in-training are responsible for taking the online course and submitting 2 finished samples created as a result of taking the course.   Pending approval from the North American MIDAS Metall® training center, students become approved applicators of the MIDAS Metall® product system.

 The minimal initial investment for authorization is the current price of the starter kit (in SPRAY or NON-SPRAY) plus our LEVEL 1 ONLINE AUTHORIZATION TRAINING.    Additionally, a sample book may be purchased prior to authorization.
