AkzoNobel introduced its Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E powder coatings in India, targeting a transformative shift in industrial manufacturing. Designed to lower carbon emissions and increase production efficiency, these coatings offer a smart solution for manufacturers striving to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing performance.
Smarter Coatings for a More Efficient Future
The Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E series are low-bake powder coatings engineered to cure at temperatures 50°C lower than standard coatings. This not only cuts energy consumption by up to 20% but also improves curing speeds by up to 25%, significantly boosting throughput and productivity. Despite their lower energy requirements, these coatings maintain high-quality performance across a full spectrum of finishes — from smooth to textured — and feature antigassing properties. This ensures efficient gas release from porous substrates, helping to prevent common defects like pinholes and blooming.
Addressing Industrial Emissions Head-On
India’s industrial sector contributes roughly 25% of the nation’s CO₂ emissions, making energy-efficient innovations like low-bake coatings crucial to meeting climate goals. The launch of the Interpon Low-E range aligns with both industry needs and environmental responsibilities.
Şirvan Canıtez, Commercial Director, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings South Asia, emphasized, “Given the scale and projected growth of India’s manufacturing sector — and its contribution to national carbon emissions — the performance gains manufacturers can achieve by improving productivity and reducing energy use with Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E represent a clear win-win offering.”
Versatile Applications for a Wide Range of Industries
The new coatings are suitable for both interior and exterior use, making them ideal for various applications, including:
*HVAC systems
*Electrical cabinets
*Gates and fences
*Furniture
*Agricultural and construction equipment
As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, the versatile coatings provide a sustainable, high-performance solution across sectors. They enable manufacturers to stay competitive while contributing to a greener industrial landscape.
