Viennese lime

Polishing with Viennese lime is not only used in the processing of natural stones, but can also be used effectively for the surface treatment of metals. This traditional process uses the abrasive effect of Viennese lime, also known as Viennese limestone, to polish and refine metal surfaces.

The process begins with the application of Viennese lime to the metal surface. The surface is then treated by targeted grinding and polishing with the Viennese lime. This grinding process helps to remove irregularities, scratches and impurities, while at the same time creating a smooth and shiny surface.

Viennese lime polishing of metal surfaces can be used in a variety of applications, from decorative elements to restorative measures on historic metal structures. The resulting surface combines shine with a certain patina, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

The use of Viennese lime when polishing metal surfaces not only enables the visual enhancement, but also helps to protect the surface and promote its durability. This artisanal process gives metal structures a special radiance and highlights their natural or historical characteristics.
