A new collection of Interpon powder coatings has been launched in North America by AkzoNobel. The range will help architects and designers imagine designs that have the stunning look of anodized aluminum but with a minimal environmental impact and superior performance.
Available in 12 matte and metallic-effect finishes, the Interpon D Anodic III powder coatings comprise an extensive collection of beautiful colours that give more choice and flexibility than ‘traditional’ anodizing, with none of the potentially damaging environmental implications and cost. Importantly, the powder coating process does not require metal to be immersed in an acid bath, avoiding the need to dispose of hazardous waste and supporting a significantly more sustainable process. Surfaces are also much easier to repair should the coating be chipped or damaged during fabrication or installation.
Not simply an alternative to anodized aluminum for windows and facades, switching to an Interpon D2525(AAMA 2604) or D3000 (AAMA 2605) Anodic III finish helps deliver high levels of colour and gloss retention and better colour consistency than ‘real’ anodizing can achieve, according to the company. Colours range from shiny blacks to soft silvers, steely blues to earthy bronzes, enabling architects and designers to match every mood and style and imagine designs that were not previously possible.
In addition, Anodic III powder coatings are free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and are supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to show both D2525 and D3000 have been independently validated for their sustainability credentials.
