AkzoNobel expands Interpon range with D3000 variant

Interpon D3000 Stone Effect powder coating provides hyperdurable performance while meeting AAMA 2605 standards for sustainable and stone-like surface finishes.

The successful launch of the superdurable Interpon D2000 Stone Effect powder coating for architects and designers in North America has been followed by the announcement of a new, hyperdurable D3000 variant to withstand the most challenging of all climates and applications in the long run.

The Interpon D3000 Stone Effect collection adds the beautiful natural look and texture of stone to aluminium surfaces without the inconvenience or cost of using the actual material. With stone-effect finishes still in high demand in North America, architects are constantly looking for ways to achieve the look and quality of stone in a more sustainable and cost-effective manner, without any of the issues associated with sourcing, transporting, installing, and maintaining the real thing.

All of these difficulties are eliminated and several additional advantages are provided by using an Interpon D Stone Effect powder coating. Natural stone erodes over time and requires constant repair; an Interpon powder coating protects aluminium surfaces for the long term.

The newly released Interpon D3000 Stone Effect range also meets AAMA 2605’s stringent performance requirements, providing a 30-year integrity and 20-year decorative warranty on coating performance when applied by an Interpon Approved Applicator.

With a new hyperdurable version, Baron Schreuder, Regional Commercial Director for Powder Coatings North America at AkzoNobel, is thrilled to offer customers in the area an even wider selection of Stone Effect powder coatings: “Our locally manufactured powder coatings offer a reliable and, in many cases, better alternative to traditional liquid finishes, helping tackle both costs and safety concerns for high-rise metal components while achieving the rich look of natural stone.  

“This hyperdurable version of the Interpon D Stone Effect gives designers the opportunity to move beyond the status quo, creating buildings with surfaces that are protected for longer, are more sustainable, and meet the AAMA 2605 specifications.” 

Interpon D3000 Stone Effect is a powder coating that contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and any overspray can be captured and reused, which contributes to a company’s sustainability agenda. It is also backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which means that an independent third party has evaluated the product’s raw materials, manufacturing, and transportation for transparency and sustainability.
