AkzoNobel launches heat-resistant Interpon D2525 powder coating

Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption, a powder coating from AkzoNobel, helps architects create more environmentally friendly and cool urban environments by reducing solar heat buildup.

AkzoNobel Powder Coatings recently introduces Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption, a powder coating that addresses the undesired accumulation of heat from the sun’s rays, empowering architects to envision and execute designs that generate better and more sustainable surroundings.

The majority of conventional coatings absorb heat, but Interpon’s D2525 Low Solar Absorption technology tackles the problems of rising urbanisation and global warming while also addressing the requirement to lessen the carbon impact of buildings in warm climates.

A unique pigment present in Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption helps reflect a significant portion of Near Infrared Radiation (NIR), which accounts for more than half of all solar energy emitted, from any aluminium substrate it coatings. Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) is a metric used to assess how reflective a coated surface is. The Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption achieves a remarkable value of up to 65 percent.

This has two benefits: first, it lessens the thermal stress on the coated surface, extending the lifespan of the coated parts and enhancing the project’s sustainability; second, it keeps heat from unintentionally building up and deflecting into a building, which prevents the formation of “urban heat islands,” which are especially noticeable in-built environments that are more densely populated.

Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption is advised for any newly constructed or remodelled building envelope. It enables architects to create more comfortable living and working environments and enhances the enjoyment of the warm summer months. Moreover, it reduces the amount of energy that air conditioners need to use to keep buildings cool, further enhancing their environmental credentials.

Being a member of the incredibly durable Interpon D2000 family, it is also devoid of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and comes in a variety of colours and finishes that may be customised upon request. These are just a few of the “traditional” advantages of being a powder coating.

The Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption is advantageous for architects who support innovative thinking, according to Bob Dirks, Global Segment Manager Architectural at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings: “Hard environments require robust innovation that can handle the heat over the long term and, crucially, deliver on sustainability.” We take great pride in offering architects a fresh approach to designing better places that enable people to take advantage of the sun’s benefits and create habitats where future generations can flourish with our LSA range. Architects know they can rely on Interpon to deliver when the heat is on.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an impartial assessment of a product’s environmental impact over its complete life, from initial production to end-of-life disposal or recycling, accompanies Interpon D2525 Low Solar Absorption. Additionally, it offers advantages to some of the most popular green construction programmes, including building projects that are accredited by BREEAM (Materials) and LEED (Materials and Resources).
