AkzoNobel has launched Interpon D2000 powder coating for architects and designers in the North American market. This can give aluminum surfaces the natural look and texture of stone without any of the inconvenience or cost associated with using the actual material.
With stone effect finishes much in demand in North America, architects are constantly striving to find ways of achieving the look and quality of stone but in a more sustainable and cost-effective way and without any of the issues related to sourcing, transporting, installing, and maintaining the real thing.
Using an Interpon D Stone Effect powder coating removes all of these challenges and brings a number of further benefits. Natural stone erodes over time and needs constant repair; an Interpon powder coating protects aluminum surfaces over the long term.
Interpon D Stone Effect also meets the stringent performance requirements of AAMA 2604, offering a 20-year integrity and 15-year decorative warranty on the coating performance when applied by an Interpon approved applicator. It is also backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which means the raw materials, manufacture and transportation associated with creating the product have been assessed by an independent third-party for transparent sustainability credentials.
