AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business has launched a two-coat, one-bake powder coating system that offers customers productivity and energy efficiency improvements and can also result in lower capital investment. Utilizing dry-on-dry coatings technology, Interpon Align delivers superior edge coverage and corrosion performance while eliminating one full cure cycle.

“As the global market leader in powder coatings, we are constantly looking to innovate and focus more sharply on the needs of our customers,” said John Wolff, Managing Director AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “Interpon Align is a perfect example of our sustainable innovation, having already been proven to consistently increase efficiency and output by up to 30 percent during commercial use.”

Global Implementation Manager Dan Hrkalovich noted, “Traditional two-coat powder coating solutions require a cure after the primer and another cure after the topcoat. Interpon Align has been designed to eliminate the primer curing process, as the two coating layers are cured simultaneously. This results in significantly improved productivity, as well as energy and cost savings.”

The new technology can be tailored to meet exact color and performance requirements, resulting in a wide range of end-use products, including thick and heavy mass metal parts that meet the most demanding OEM specifications for protection and appearance.
