The new Interpon Redox range of anticorrosive primers from AkzoNobel (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) is designed to offer customers a simplified route to corrosion protection. Four innovative systems were developed to cover a variety of substrates, surfaces, and environments, ranging from swimming pools to chemical plants, and high humidity to highly corrosive areas.
According to the manufacturer, the portfolio consists of;
- Interpon Redox Active, described as a robust primer system with a wide curing window and excellent edge protection;
- Interpon Redox Plus, which offers durable protection for a wide variety of substrates and pre-treatment methods;
- Interpon Redox PZ, a high-performing powder primer for corrosion protection over blasted steel; and
- Interpon Redox Triplex is an extremely protective three-layer system for highly corrosive environments.
“Interpon Redox is all about bringing simplicity to corrosion protection,” explains Daniela Vlad, managing director of AkzoNobel’s powder coatings business. “Selecting the right primer for the right level of corrosion can be a lot more complex than people may think. So, our Interpon Redox systems have been developed with characteristics that address all the variables, making it much easier for customers to pick the perfect coating system.”
Long-term performance is paramount for specifiers, who rely on finding the right corrosion protection system for their steel products. However, the process of selecting the right system can be influenced by numerous factors, such as the material used and the environment it is exposed to. As a result, Interpon Redox aims to simplify this process.
According to AkzoNobel, powder coatings offer inherent sustainability benefits, such as no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reduced energy use, and less waste. The new Interpon Redox range is suitable for everything from bus shelters, elevators, and security gates, to wind turbines, metal fences, and agricultural equipment. It is already available in Europe and South Asia.
