AkzoNobel Expands Interpon D Anodic Range

AkzoNobel has expanded its superdurable Interpon D2525 Anodic powder coatings collection. Now available in a total of 18 shades, the range delivers the sleek look of anodized aluminum – with all the sustainability and durability benefits of a powder coating.

Not only does the Anodic collection deliver the dynamic look of anodized aluminum, it also incorporates Interpon’s Low-E technology, supporting sustainability goals across the architectural supply chain in one of two ways: curing at a lower temperature (30°C lower than traditional powder coatings); or curing at a faster line speed.

In both cases, the range helps to reduce the total energy consumed, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing production line efficiencies while still delivering optimized performance.

The latest additions introduce bold, on-trend tones of bronze, red, and brown, perfectly complementing the established palette of black, silver, and gold. With a mix of matt and metallic-effect finishes, it offers greater design flexibility, more consistent results than traditional anodizing and less potential environmental impact or high costs.

The Anodic collection brings a host of additional environmental advantages. The powder coating process reduces reliance on acids, while water consumption is diminished. Furthermore, Anodic powder coatings can hide a multitude of imperfections across all grades of aluminum, helping to lower both the substrate cost and level of reject rates.

The range is also formulated with reduced emission bio-attributed materials — bringing the benefit of lower carbon footprint of the used product and reduction of embodied carbon over the complete lifecycle of a building while the product performance stays the same. Free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and backed by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), the Interpon D2525 range has been independently verified for its sustainability credentials. 

Its proven resistance to weathering is supported by a 25-year warranty (Qualicoat Class 2/GSB Master/AAMA 2604) on coating performance when applied by an Interpon D Approved Applicator for a truly remarkable stand-out result.  

“Architects are always looking for finishes that help them push creative boundaries — and that’s exactly what our expanded Interpon D Anodic range delivers,” says Bob Dirks, global segment manager Architectural, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “These rich new red, bronze, and brown tones bring warmth and depth to a design, while the built-in sustainability benefits make it easier to meet performance and environmental standards without compromise.”
