Particle Technology Enhances Metallic Coatings
Akzonobel’s powder coatings offer metallic finishes with patented particle technology, featuring zero VOCs and sustainable reuse of overspray.
AkzoNobel (Amsterdam, Netherlands) develops a patented particle technology for a range of powder coatings. Its powder coatings business has created the Interpon D Natural Metals range.
The collection features stabilized particulate technology which results in a more concentrated, deeper metallic finish than conventional metallic powder coatings.
Designed to protect and enhance in the most challenging environments, the range features a palette of durable on-trend finishes, from copper, brass, steel and nickel to silver and iron.
The technology contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is more sustainable in application, since any overspray can be captured and reused, leaving virtually zero waste.
