AkzoNobel Group: Constantly improving product quality

As one of the leading enterprises in the field of manufacturing paints and coatings and specialized chemicals, AkzoNobel Group is always exploring and researching to constantly improve the quality of its products, not only in categories. , design but also towards sustainability.

In August, at the International Conference on ZAK World of Facades, Zzo World of Facades, AkzoNobel introduced the newly developed powder coating product at the group with its outstanding advantages. . Typically the product lines: STF, D2525 Structura Flex, Low-E, etc.

AkzoNobel’s continuous release of new products in the powder coating line is inspired by the advantages that only powder coating technology has. Most scientists in the world recognize one thing: It is very rare that there is any modern technology such as powder coating, which was invented and put into use for production, replacing the old technology. For high quality, lower product costs while investment costs remain the same as the old technology.

With the design in dry powder form and without solvent, the process of using powder coating is very safe because there is almost no risk of explosion. When the paint powder sticks to your body, it is easy to clean, without using solvents or detergents to clean; The powder on the floor can be easily recovered and reused again. Therefore, the amount of paint waste is much lower than that of the old technology.

On the other hand, powder coating technology uses a type of positive (+) charge in the paint powder, when passing through a device called a powder coating, at the same time the paint object will also be charged a negative charge (-) to create cohesion between the powder and the object being painted. This also means that users do not need primer to increase adhesion, and no longer cost time and cost for this paint.

To enhance the inherent advantages of powder coating technology, AkzoNobel has developed more flexible products to meet different environmental conditions. In the past, the higher the durability of powder coating, the lower the flexibility. If a piece of metal has been painted, then needs to be bent or shaped, people often choose a standard-strength paint often to ensure high flexibility, avoiding cracking. Now AkzoNobel’s Structura Flex product line can solve this problem well.

Structura Flex combines the weather resistance feature of powder coating with the mechanical flexibility of D2525 powder coating to stabilize the surface structure while creating flexibility for this product line. In addition, they have the ability to keep the gloss and color stability significantly higher than standard durable powder paint.

Another product line of AkzoNobel: Low-E is aimed at helping customers save energy and improve efficiency. Mark Reekie, general manager of global industry for powder coating, said: “Our Interpon Low-E paint products enable customers to use vulcanizing temperatures from 150-170 ° C. Do not reduce the quality or physical properties of the coating. All of these products can be cured for 8 to 40 minutes, helping to increase the productivity of the painting process.”

“We are very proud to bring this industry the first products that can fully meet the needs of our customers,” said Jean-Paul Moonen, Architectural Paint Manager at AkzoNobel. “AkzoNobel’s experts and architects are constantly creating products with superior durability, and pioneering the development of solutions that create new standards of the market.”
