AkzoNobel has introduced an industry-first architectural powder coating that is Qualicoat class one certified and can be cured at temperatures as low as 150°C.
Customers can reduce energy usage by up to 20% with Interpon D1036 Low E since it cures at temperatures up to 30°C lower than conventional powder coatings. Additionally, it has a 25% quicker curing time than traditional powders, making it possible to coat more products in less time.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an independently validated evaluation of a product’s environmental impact over the course of its lifetime, supports the product’s sustainability claims.
Jeff Jirak, Director of the Akzonobel said, “At a time when every business is looking to play its part in reducing energy and accelerating sustainability, Interpon D1036 Low-E will support our customers in reducing their carbon emissions – as well as helping us to achieve our own target of a 50% carbon reduction across the value chain by 2030. We’re proud to be innovating solutions that are helping to tackle some of the shared issues around sustainability and energy conservation that coaters, applicators and our own business are facing. As we progress on the journey towards our net zero carbon ambitions, we’ll continue to work closely with our customers to understand their needs and give them the products they require so we can build a more sustainable future together.”
The new line is appropriate for a wide range of indoor and outdoor built environment applications, such as doors, railings, windows and building facades, or any other place where an architecturally certified product is normally used. Exceptional levels of durability to preserve colour integrity and performance are among its main characteristics.
