Growing customer demand for sustainable metal effect architectural finishes has led AkzoNobel to develop innovative particle technology for a new line of powder coatings.
Recognizing a distinct market need, scientists in the company’s Powder Coatings division have launched the Interpon D Natural Metals range. This collection combines the aesthetic appeal and durability that architects and designers seek, delivering stunning color and performance without the drawbacks of real metal.
The new range features patented stabilized particulate technology, resulting in a more concentrated and deeper metallic finish compared to traditional metallic powder coatings. “Our scientists and team of color specialists are at the forefront of innovation and creative excellence, consistently collaborating with our customers,” says Frank Vergeer, Research & Development Director at AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business.
“With this new product line, we empower architects and designers to reimagine how they achieve striking metallic effects while also addressing their desire for sustainability by eliminating the costs and practical challenges associated with using real metal.”
Engineered to protect and enhance even in harsh environments, the collection boasts a wide range of super-durable, on-trend finishes, including copper, brass, steel, nickel, silver, and iron.
Like all Interpon products, the new coatings contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and promote sustainability during application, as any overspray can be captured and reused, resulting in virtually zero waste.
This launch is part of a series of recent innovations from AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings division, which has also introduced the industry’s first single-layer powder coating for two-wheelers (Interpon A300) and a groundbreaking architectural powder coating that cures at temperatures as low as 150°C (Interpon D1036 Low-E and Interpon D2525 Low-E).
