Revolutionary Breakthrough! AkzoNobel Low-Temperature Cured Powder Coatings: Cured at 150°C, Save 20% Energy, Speed Up 25%

Akzonobel has introduced the industry's first low-temperature curing architectural powder coating that can cure at temperatures as low as 150°C while still meeting Qualicoat Level 1 certification. It cures at temperatures as Low as 30°C compared to traditional powder coatings, which shows that the Interpon D1036 Low-E can help customers reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.

Faster curing: The coating cures 25% faster than traditional powder coatings, which means more products can be coated in less time. The sustainability of a product is certified by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an independent verification assessment of the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle.

"At a time when every business is committed to reducing energy consumption and accelerating sustainability, the Interpon D1036 Low-E will support our customers in reducing their carbon emissions and help us achieve our goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% across the value chain by 2030," said Jeff Jirak, business Director, Powder Coatings.

Jirak continued, "We are proud to be able to innovate and deliver solutions that help address the common challenges of sustainability and energy conservation facing the coating industry, coaters, and our own business."

Low temperature curing building powder coatings offer a number of significant advantages:

Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions: Compared to traditional solvent-based coatings, powder coatings contain almost no VOC and are more environmentally friendly.

Solvent-free use: The production process of powder coatings does not involve solvents, thus reducing the emission of harmful substances and helping to improve air quality.

Recyclability: The oversprayed powder produced in the coating process of powder coating can be recycled and reused, effectively reducing the waste of resources.

Strong durability: Powder coatings demonstrate excellent weather, corrosion and wear resistance, helping to extend the service life of buildings.

Color Diversity: Powder coatings are available in a variety of colors and textures to meet the color needs of different architectural designs.

Anti-static properties: Powder coatings can effectively prevent the accumulation of static electricity, thereby improving the safety and appearance of the building.

Surface smoothness: Powder coating forms a smooth surface for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Fire resistance: Some powder coatings have fire resistance characteristics, which further enhances the safety level of buildings.

High construction efficiency: The construction speed of powder coatings is much faster than that of traditional coatings, which helps shorten the construction period and save costs.

Construction simplicity: The construction process of powder coating is simple, no need to rely on professional and technical personnel, easy to operate.

No odor: The powder coating has no obvious odor during the construction process and will not affect the health of the construction personnel.

Repeatability: Powder coatings allow for repeated painting, facilitating repair and refurbishment work.

Cost savings: Powder coating construction efficiency, high paint utilization, help to achieve cost savings.

Reduce resource waste: The overspray powder of powder coating can be recycled, effectively reducing the waste of resources.

The new range is suitable for a wide range of areas of the built environment, including building facades, Windows, railings, doors, and any application that typically requires building certification products. Its key features include excellent durability, ensuring color integrity and durability of performance.

"As we continue on our path to achieving our net zero carbon goal, we will continue to work closely with our customers to understand their needs and provide them with the products they need so that together we can build a more sustainable future." Jirak added.

In addition to its commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent across the value chain by 2030, Akzonobel is committed to recycling 100 percent of its materials and generating 50 percent of its revenue from sustainable solutions by the end of the decade.
