Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E coatings are ideal for a wide array of products, including HVAC systems, electrical cabinets, gates and fences, shelving, racking, furniture, and agricultural and construction equipment.
The international paints and coatings supplier AkzoNobel
has introduced its new Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E powder coatings in China and India, offering manufacturers a game-changing solution that enhances process efficiency while supporting sustainability goals.
Targeted at businesses seeking to boost productivity and cut energy consumption, the Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E range features 'low bake' pure polyester-based powder coatings, available with or without TGIC. These coatings have been specially developed to cure at significantly lower temperatures—reducing the requirement by 50°C, from 200°C to just 150°C. As a result, energy usage can be slashed by up to 20%, while curing times may be improved by as much as 25% compared to conventional powder coatings.
“Given the scale and projected growth of these countries’ manufacturing sectors—and their 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,” has stated Jorrit van Rijn, Marketing Director, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.
Crucially, this efficiency does not come at the expense of quality. Interpon 600 and 610 Low-E coatings maintain the same high-performance finish and are available in a variety of textures and finishes. They also incorporate anti-gassing properties, enabling the release of gases from porous substrates to prevent imperfections such as pinholes and blooming—further ensuring an impeccable surface finish.
“Helping our customers stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market is exactly why we believe the launch of this innovative range could be a true game-changer for powder coaters in India and China. It delivers the advantage of operational efficiency and environmental responsibility—supporting those committed to a more sustainable future,” has added Jorrit van Rijn.
With industrial manufacturing playing a pivotal role in both China and India’s economic growth, this innovation comes at a critical moment. The sector is estimated to account for over 60% of China’s CO₂ emissions and around 25% of India’s. AkzoNobel’s latest innovation thus offers manufacturers a meaningful opportunity to contribute to national and global decarbonisation efforts.
