El cocoon, conformado por un revestimiento de resina líquida pulverizada en torno a un alma de metal, es un material que se transforma en diseño. Esta elaboración, utilizada desde los años 60 por los hermanos Castiglioni, ha revelado una innata versatilidad: del icónico Gatto a las experimentaciones más recientes, el cocoon se adapta a infinitas versiones luminosas.



Cómo se fabrica una lámpara Cocoon?

Las luminarias Cocoon de Flos son una colección icónica que destaca por su innovador material y su estética única. Su historia comienza en la década de 1960, cuando los diseñadores italianos exploraban nuevas técnicas de fabricación.


Orígenes y Tecnología Cocoon

El material Cocoon es una resina plástica pulverizada sobre una estructura metálica, creando una superficie traslúcida y envolvente. Inspirado en técnicas del ejército estadounidense, fue adoptado por los hermanos Achille y Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, quienes lo llevaron al mundo del diseño de iluminación.



Cocoon is an extraordinary, liquid polymer coating that sprays cobweb-like filaments that form a tough, waterproof, flexible, monolithic membrane that will conform to any surface. Cocoon can be applied as a waterproofing coating on new installations as well as over traditional existing systems. The polymer coating will adhere to most common construction materials. Sunlight, rain, wind and marine atmospheres have little or no effect on Cocoon. These coatings are resistant to water and water vapor and possess a low water absorption rate. Cocoon is relatively non-chalking, available in a wide range of colors and has excellent color retention. Cocoon coatings can be applied to interior and exterior structures to protect against the penetration of water, dust, gas and oil. The tough, flexible web structure ensures the efficient and effective sealing of walls, including wall penetrations, regardless of changes in substrate. Cocoon resists all forms of corrosion and prevents surface deterioration caused by acids, fats, greases and fungi, as well as by chemical laden fumes and vapors.

Cocoon coatings form a monlothic seal highly resistant to impact and abrasion. Cocoon will maintain its integrity despite movement at pipe and duct penetrations or expansion and contraction between walls and ceilings. https://www.andek.com/what-is-cocoon/

  • COCOON WEBBING AGENT is a resin solution that is a reinforcing additive. COCOON WEBBING AGENT, when mixed with any Cocoon coating, is used to form a bridge over openings.
  • A properly sprayed coat of COCOON WEBBING AGENT will result in a fine, dry, cobweb-like filament which will not break of its own weight.

COCOON WEBBING AGENT

Reinforcing Resin Additive. Bridge-Forming Waterproof Support.

COCOON WEBBING AGENT is a specialty resin solution designed as a reinforcing additive for use within the COCOON coating system. When incorporated into compatible COCOON coatings, it is engineered to form a physical bridge over openings, gaps, and irregular substrate conditions—supporting membrane continuity and system integrity.

When properly applied, COCOON WEBBING AGENT produces a fine, dry, cobweb-like filament structure that spans voids and surface discontinuities without collapsing under its own weight. This creates a reinforced transition layer that strengthens the overall waterproofing and air-sealing system.

As part of the COCOON product range, COCOON WEBBING AGENT has been used for decades in architectural and industrial coating applications where reliable bridging, reinforcement, and environmental sealing are required
