AkzoNobel Unveils Sustainable Metal Effect Coatings with New Particle Technology

(IN BRIEF) AkzoNobel has introduced a new particle technology to meet the rising demand for sustainable metal effect finishes in architectural applications. Their new Interpon D Natural Metals range offers the aesthetic and durable qualities of real metal without its associated challenges. Using patented stabilized particulate technology, the range produces deeper metallic finishes and a broad palette of metal colors such as copper, brass, steel, and silver. This innovation aligns with AkzoNobel’s commitment to sustainability by eliminating VOCs and minimizing waste through the reuse of overspray.

(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM, 26-Sep-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In response to growing market demand for sustainable metal effect architectural finishes, AkzoNobel has developed a groundbreaking particle technology for powder coatings. This innovation led to the creation of the Interpon D Natural Metals range, a collection designed to offer the aesthetic appeal and durability architects seek, without the challenges associated with real metal finishes.

The Interpon D Natural Metals line uses AkzoNobel’s patented stabilized particulate technology, delivering a more intense and concentrated metallic finish than traditional metallic powder coatings. This new solution was developed by the company’s Powder Coatings team, driven by a focus on creativity, sustainability, and customer needs.

Frank Vergeer, Research & Development Director at AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings division, highlighted the significance of this innovation: “Our scientists and color specialists are leading the way in reimagining metallic finishes. This new product line not only provides architects and designers with more options but also addresses the need for sustainability by eliminating the complexities of using real metal.”

The new range is designed for high-performance applications, with a variety of finishes that replicate copper, brass, steel, nickel, silver, and iron. It also follows AkzoNobel’s commitment to sustainability by being VOC-free and promoting zero waste with the ability to capture and reuse overspray. This advancement builds on other recent innovations from AkzoNobel, such as their single-layer powder coating for two-wheelers and their low-temperature curing architectural coatings.
