AkzoNobel makes powder
coatings even more sustainable
Powder coatings have always
offered customers numerous
environmental benefi ts. Now
they’ve become even more
sustainable following the launch
of a full range of Interpon Low-E
products developed by AkzoNobel.
Initially launched late last year, featuring a coarse
texture range, the Low-E portfolio now includes a
complete range of smooth finishes in Interpon 610.
Specially engineered for curing at temperatures
lower than the current standard of 180-190°C,
the new offering saves energy and helps customers
to improve their efficiency.
Designed for a wide range of customers, including
industrial manufacturers of steel constructions,
street and garden furniture and agricultural and
construction equipment, the range has a total
of 50 smooth products featuring gloss, satin and
matt finishes.
Interpon 610 Low-E is ideal for interior or exterior
environments. The TGIC-free polyester based
products are available in a wide range of colors,
are easy to apply, and offer outstanding light and
weather resistance. They also offer all the benefits

inherent to powder coatings, such as no VOCs,
reduced waste (customers can recycle over-sprayed
powder) and lower transport costs.
Mark Reekie, Powder Coatings’ Global Segment
Manager, General Industry, explains: “Our Interpon
Low-E range means customers can now use curing
temperatures ranging from 150-170°C, without
losing quality or the physical properties of the
coating. All products in the range can be cured
between eight and 40 minutes, which also helps to
increase productivity during the coatings process.”
“As the world leader in our sector, we’re fully
focused on continuing to set the standards for
quality, service and innovation,” adds Daniela Vlad,
Managing Director of AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings
business. “The launch of this new range is just the
latest example of how we’re always looking to help
customers improve their efficiency, save energy and
lower their environmental footprint.”
The new Interpon Low-E range is initially being
launched in Europe, with plans in place to launch in
other regions in due course.
