Available in a wide array of colours and sparkling metallic effects, the new range of powder coatings from AkzoNobel combines sustainability, durability and style.
The international paints and coatings producer AkzoNobel
has recently introduced Interpon A3000, its new range of powder coatings dedicated to protecting and enhancing the body parts, wheels and trim of motorbikes
and any other two-wheel vehicle, in line with the performance levels specified, tested and approved by the original equipment manufacturers.
The new range is ideally suitable for clients aiming to achieve greater cost efficiencies and enhanced sustainability, without however sacrificing the performances or aesthetic quality. As a matter of fact, Interpon A3000 can be applied as a single layer, thus reducing costs and consuming less energy in the coating process. Furthermore, there is also a low energy version available, which allows the powder to cure at a lower temperature and further reduce the energy consumed.
The durability of the powder coatings from the Interpon A3000 portfolio helps to prevent the formation of corrosion generated from the weather and the interference from fuel, oil and other chemicals. In addition, they also protect against damage caused by excess heat, as well as having high resistance to chipping from stones and pebbles. In order to satisfy the various aesthetic demands, the range is available in a wide array of colours and sparkling metallic effects.
“Interpon has a proven portfolio of products for the sector. The new range gives motorcycle manufacturers and their suppliers the perfect combination of sustainability, durability and style for their modern designs,” has stated Gustavo Carvalho, the automotive segment director of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “With a single layer system, we can also help reduce the costs of our customers, since application times are much shorter. This contributes to reduce their carbon footprint. The powder coating provides an excellent flow-finish and delivers high aesthetic appeal and clarity, supporting the quality that OEMs demand to further enhance their brand.”
