Innovations in the field of sustainability, durability and fabulous metallic colors of Interpon powder coatings for architects and specifiers will be the key themes of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings’ presence at the ZAK World of Facades Vietnam 2022 conference in Hanoi on Nov. 24, 2022.

Speaking at the conference will be Hanna Nguyen, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings’ county sales manager, who is a business leader and expert in the infrastructure and construction industry. Hanna will be discussing “Powder Coating Technology for the Built Environment,” which will cover the life cycle of powder coatings and how its durability can support sustainability.

Nguyen will also discuss the latest colors and design collections for facades, and high quality special effect metallic finishes for both interior and exterior which are achieved with AkzoNobel’s breakthrough bonding technology, as well as a second powder coating plant now fast becoming operational in North Vietnam to serve the expanding needs of the local market.

Among the new products being shown in the region for the first time is the Anodic range that has the stunning look of anodized aluminum, but with a minimal environmental impact. The range is available in a range of colors and makes the ideal alternative to anodized aluminum for windows and facades. An Interpon D2000 Anodic III finish delivers superior color and gloss retention and better color consistency.

Also being shown for the first time is the Interpon Futura range. Featuring a superdurable performance supported by a 25-year warranty, the Futura range boasts 50 on-trend colors designed to help us feel closer to our natural environment, safe in the knowledge that our creations, and our world, are now better protected.

As with the Anodic powder coatings, metallic colors within the Interpon Futura range are possible due to AkzoNobel’s unique bonding technology. This means the metallic pigments are chemically bonded (as opposed to mechanically blended) to the base powder, to give far greater luster, consistency, and performance.

“Our customers expect innovation not only in the products we create, but also in the processes we deliver,” said Maximilien Schreder, regional commercial director South Asia for AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.

ZAK World of Facades will also provide an opportunity for AkzoNobel to showcase Wild Wonder – Interpon’s newly announced Color of the Year 2023. It’s one in a palette of eight new colors inspired by nature within the Interpon Futura range.
