AkzoNobel has launched a super-durable Interpon D powder coating for architects and designers for the Indian market that can give aluminum surfaces the natural look and texture of stone without any of the inconvenience or cost associated with using the actual material.
With stone-effect finishes in demand globally, and a terracotta finish especially popular in India, architects are constantly striving to find ways of achieving the look and quality of stone without any of the issues related to sourcing, transporting, installing, and maintaining real stone, which also needs highly-skilled labor and equipment.
Using an Interpon D stone-effect powder coating removes all of these challenges. Natural stone erodes over time and needs constant repair. The super durability of an Interpon D2525 stone-effect powder coating protects surfaces over the long term, with a warranty of up to 25 years, when the powder is applied by an Interpon-D-approved applicator, helping to ensure projects and reputations stand the test of time.
Being a powder coating, the super-durable Interpon D2525 stone-effect is also the sustainable option. For example, coaters can use virtually all of the product as any overspray can be collected and reused which means no unnecessary waste. It is also free of any volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment.
Interpon D2525 stone-effect is backed by an environmental product declaration (EPD), which means the raw materials, manufacture, and transportation associated with creating the product have been assessed by an independent third party for transparent sustainability credentials.
Şirvan Canıtez, Commercial Director South Asia at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, is excited to bring the stone-effect range to a new audience. “The Indian market has been demanding an alternative to stone that gives all of the natural beauty and aesthetic of the real thing, but with none of the downsides,” she says.
“We also have the advantage of local production, which shortens the supply chain and enables customers to access the highest quality bonded products, more quickly.”
