As reported by PF Online in their article “Low-Energy Powder Coating Helps Reduce Energy Consumption,” curing at temperatures 30°C lower than traditional powder coatings can significantly cut energy consumption by up to 20%. This innovative powder coating also cures up to 25% faster than conventional powders, enabling more products to be coated in less time, thereby increasing efficiency and throughput.
This low-energy powder coating is embraced to support sustainability and energy conservation efforts. The product’s sustainability credentials are backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which provides an independently verified assessment of its environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.
“At a time when every business is looking to play its part in reducing energy and accelerating sustainability, Interpon D1036 Low-E will support our customers in reducing their carbon emissions — as well as helping us to achieve our own target of a 50% carbon reduction across the value chain by 2030,” says Jeff Jirak, director of AkzoNobel’s powder coatings business. “We’re proud to be innovating solutions that are helping to tackle some of the shared issues around sustainability and energy conservation that coaters, applicators, and our own business are facing.”
The low-energy powder coating is ideal for various architectural applications, both indoor and outdoor, such as building facades, windows, railings, and doors. It offers high levels of durability, protecting color integrity and performance, making it suitable for any application requiring an architectural-certified product.
“As we progress on the journey toward our net zero carbon ambitions, we’ll continue to work closely with our customers to understand their needs and give them the products they require so we can build a more sustainable future together,” Jirak adds.
Commitment to sustainability aligns with goals of achieving 100% circular use of materials by the end of the decade and delivering 50% of revenues from sustainable solutions. By adopting advanced low-energy powder coatings, reduced energy consumption, increased efficiency, and enhanced environmental sustainability are ensured.
