Religious images
Products for producing devotional items with precision and aesthetic appeal.
Materials for the manufacture of medals and devotional items
Religious images and devotional objects form part of a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship in which attention to detail and aesthetic quality are essential elements. Medals, crucifixes, religious pendants and small devotional figurines require manufacturing processes capable of accurately reproducing iconographic elements such as faces, symbols and ornamental reliefs.
At Coniex, we supply technical materials used by manufacturers specialising in the production of metal religious artefacts. Our solutions enable the production of pieces with well-defined reliefs and surfaces suitable for decorative finishes.
Among the most common items in this sector are:
- religious medals
- crucifixes and devotional pendants
- small religious figurines
- rosaries and decorative items
- religious symbols and commemorative items
The combination of casting, enamelling and finishing techniques enables these pieces to be produced whilst maintaining a high level of detail and consistent quality throughout production.
SILCODISC silicone moulds for religious artefacts
Many metal devotional items are manufactured using centrifugal casting, a process that enables the production of multiple items with good repeatability and well-defined reliefs.
For this technique, Coniex offers SILCODISC, a range of technical silicones used in the manufacture of moulds for centrifugal casting.
SILCODISC silicones enable the faithful reproduction of decorative elements characteristic of this sector, such as reliefs, text and iconographic details.
Its main features include:
- accurate reproduction of ornamental reliefs
- stability during the casting process
- resistance to multiple production cycles
- elasticity that makes it easier to remove embossed parts
These properties make it possible to produce religious medals, devotional pendants or small metal figurines with a high level of detail.

Decorating religious artefacts with ESMALTEX enamels
Many religious artefacts incorporate elements of colour to highlight certain symbols or decorative details.
For these applications, Coniex offers the ESMALTEX range, which comprises epoxy resins used for decorative cold enamelling on metal.
These glazes allow engraved areas or raised sections of the piece to be filled in, creating visual contrast and highlighting elements of the design.
ESMALTEX enamels offer:
- good colour fastness
- glossy or translucent finishes
- adhesion to metal surfaces
- wear resistance
- bisphenol A-free (BPA-free) formulation
Thanks to these properties, ESMALTEX enamels can be used on religious medals, devotional symbols or ornamental pieces featuring coloured decorative details.

Surface solutions to improve the finish of workpieces
To achieve a good finish, it is important to prepare the metal surface correctly before applying decorative treatments or coatings.
Coniex’s Surface division offers solutions designed to improve metal cleaning and optimise surface preparation prior to subsequent processes such as enamelling or polishing.
Proper surface preparation helps to produce parts with a more uniform finish and a higher aesthetic quality.
