AkzoNobel’s Interpon brand hopes to make
choosing the right powder coating easier with the
introduction of immersive 3D imaging technology.
The company’s new 3D color tool – available
via the AkzoNobel Design app – is designed to
help architects and specifiers find exactly the
right product for their needs.
In addition to enabling users to digitally
rotate coatings samples, it’s also possible to zoom
in and out and view them in the context of

different environments – providing a more
realistic impression of what the actual powder

coated finish would look like.
“As the industry leader in powder coatings,
we’re always looking to improve our products and
digital tools to help customers arrive at the
perfect solution,” says Daniela Vlad, Business
Unit Director for AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.
“Our unique 3D tool will further improve the
confidence levels of architects and designers when

using digital visualization for their color deci-
sions. It’s as close to the real thing as it gets and
is just the latest example of how we go beyond
imagination and work tirelessly to develop new
technologies that will benefit our customers.”
The tool also works with metallic and pearl
sparkle effects, offering a sense of color, texture,
smoothness, and glossiness.
“We take great pride in helping customers to
improve the accuracy and efficiency of the work
they do,” continues Vlad. “Getting the color,
structure and shine right is critical when select-
ing powder coatings, so we’re excited to provide
the creative freedom that allows specifiers,
architects and the industry in general to make
the perfect finish.”
