Adapta has launched on the market A16, its new collection of architectural finishes.
After the great success of the two previous collections, A8 and A12, this Spanish leading manufacturer of smart coatings and special powders for metal architecture has completely renewed its range to include all the trends, effects and textures that will be the most required ones in the next four years by architects and designers.
Like for the A12 range, the A16 catalogue consists of 32 collections with a very broad colour spectrum, each one composed of 8 shades. Every collection is inspired by an iconic building or a famous place on the Earth, used by Adapta to develop and choose the various colour combinations.
The spectrum ranges from the metallic white, grey and blue colours typical of many post-modern and contemporary buildings such as the Chrysler Building in New York, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, to the fuchsia, pink and purple shades of the Wadden Sea, enclosed by the Dutch, Danish and German coasts, and of Mount Mayon in the Philippines. It includes the beige and warm brown colours of Mont-Saint-Michel in France and of the Chhatrapati Shivaji train station of Mumbai, India; the deep and iridescent blue hue of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York and of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul; and the golds and bronzes of the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, the Maya, archaeological site of Palenque, in Chiapas, Mexico, the Easter Island and the Giant's Causeway in Ireland.
There are also strong shades, extreme colours and pronounced textured effects, as in the collections dedicated to the Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park in northeast China, the Blue Grotto in Capri, Italy, the Caño Cristales river in Colombia and the lava effects of the volcanoes of Kamchatka. Finally, pastel colours are the protagonists of the collection inspired by Ta Prohm, the Khmer temple located in Cambodia, by the Iguazu Falls, between Argentina and Brazil, and by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The colour variations of the Adapta A16 range are endless, especially as regards neutral and metallic shades. The collections are based on the proven Adapta Vivendi technology for architecture, which has recently been tested according to ISO 16000-9:2006 getting an A+ for indoor emissions. They also include some interference colours from the Dichroic ranges as well as the textured and oxidised metal effects of the Patina collection.
All the colours have been developed with the last generation Adapta Bonding System® technology, which ensures a homogeneous optical effect. This is crucial for complex designs and for projects requiring high quality standards.
Many of the new colours are already available also in their superdurable versions, which in any case can be requested for all other shades.
Moreover, most hues can be integrated with some of the functions listed in Adapta's smart coating catalogue, such as insect repellency, easy removal of stickers (Stickers Proof technology), self-cleaning ability (BioNox) and the Adapta Tracker technology against the counterfeiting of paints.
