Not everyone can wait for copper to weather naturally. Demand from architects and builders for prepatinated copper products has prompted copper mills to develop new methods that speed up or replicate the natural aging process. Researchers are continually experimenting with ways to "enhance" this natural chemical conversion process. Aftermarket treatments offer a spectrum of patina color finishes, helping to create new markets - and make architectural clients happy.
