Rising customer demand for more sustainable metal effect architectural finishes has prompted AkzoNobel to develop patented particle technology for a new range of powder coatings.

Having identified a clear market need, scientists at the company¡¯s Powder Coatings business have created the Interpon D Natural Metals range. It has all the aesthetic beauty and durability that architects and designers are looking for ¨C offering spectacular color and performance ¨C but with none of the drawbacks of real metal.

The new collection features patented stabilized particulate technology which results in a more concentrated, deeper metallic finish than conventional metallic powder coatings.

¡°Our scientists and expert team of color specialists are at the forefront of innovation and creative excellence and are constantly working with and for our customers,¡± says Frank Vergeer, Research & Development Director at AkzoNobel¡¯s Powder Coatings business.

¡°With this new offering, we¡¯re enabling architects and designers to not only reimagine how they can create a stunning metallic effect finish, but are also addressing their desire for a more sustainable world by overcoming the cost and practical handling considerations of using real metal.¡±

Designed to protect and enhance even in the most challenging environments, the new range features a broad palette of superdurable on-trend finishes, from copper, brass, steel and nickel through to silver and iron.
