AkzoNobel’s new powder coatings range is designed to provide end-users with enhanced durability, helping them withstand even the harshest environments for extended periods.
The paints and coatings supplier AkzoNobel
has recently launched the new hyperdurable D3000 powder coatings range – designed to withstand the most challenging of all climates and applications over the longer term.
In fact, the Interpon D3000 Stone Effect collection provides aluminium surfaces with the stunning natural appearance and texture of stone, without the hassle or expense associated with using the actual material. With stone effect finishes remaining highly sought after in North America, architects are continually seeking ways to replicate the look and quality of stone in a more sustainable and cost-effective manner, while avoiding the challenges related to sourcing, transporting, installing, and maintaining the genuine article.
“Our locally manufactured powder coatings offer a reliable and, in many cases, better alternative to traditional liquid finishes, helping tackle both costs and safety concerns for high-rise metal components while achieving the rich look of natural stone. This hyperdurable version of the Interpon D Stone Effect gives designers the opportunity to move beyond the status quo, creating buildings with surfaces that are protected for longer, are more sustainable, and meet the AAMA 2605 specifications,” has stated Baron Schreuder, Regional Commercial Director for Powder Coatings North America at AkzoNobel.
Moreover, the newly launched Interpon D3000 Stone Effect range meets the rigorous performance standards of AAMA 2605, providing a 30-year film integrity and 20-year decorative warranty on coating performance when applied by an Interpon Approved Applicator. Interpon D3000 Stone Effect contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and any overspray can be reclaimed and reused, supporting a company’s sustainability
objectives. It is also backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), meaning that the raw materials, manufacturing process, and transportation involved in producing the coating have been independently assessed to provide transparent and credible sustainability credentials.
