AkzoNobel completes capacity expansion at Vietnam multi-site
Interpon Cr creates a brilliant metallic-effect finish which is far more sustainable, durable, and more flexible than real chrome plating
The powder coating that enables general trade coaters (GTCs), OEMs and designers to deliver the style and appearance of chrome plating but with a powder coating has been launched by AkzoNobel’s Interpon brand.
Interpon Cr provides a sustainable alternative that is free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and produces no hazardous waste. With a simplified finishing process, customers can quickly and easily produce a brilliant metallic-effect finish that is less harmful to the environment.
Perfect for metal furniture, the automotive aftermarket, components and fittings, lighting, leisure equipment, retail displays and small household appliances, the powder coating is applied in a simple and fast two-step process, which does not require any additional preparation steps, such as grinding and polishing. As such users are able to reduce costs compared to traditional chrome plating, which is often time-consuming and expensive. This enables businesses not only to increase productivity but also accelerate delivery times.
Daniela Vlad, Managing Director of Powder Coatings at AkzoNobel, says the new powder coating provides the reliability and performance professionals need: “The Interpon Cr Basecoat and Clearcoat system provides resistance to corrosion and staining, as well as the durability to protect products from all life can throw at them. Designers can now achieve a bright metallic effect, even on the more challenging shapes and angles, and have the comfort of knowing the product they are using is better for the environment and more sustainable in every sense.”
She adds that Interpon has built a powder coating to meet the needs of the modern day: “Interpon is a global leader in powder coatings technology and has used its vast experience as well as its state-of-the-art R&D facilities to create a sustainable, cost-effective and high performing powder coating to meet your business needs.”
