AkzoNobel (AKZOF) has formed a strategic partnership with IPG Photonics to revolutionize powder coating technology through laser curing solutions. The exclusive agreement covers the EMEA region and involves calibrating AkzoNobel's Interpon powder coatings for IPG's laser technology. The innovative process uses a "cold oven" approach where lasers selectively heat the coating, reducing curing times from 15-20 minutes to just a few minutes.
The technology offers significant advantages: over 50% reduction in investment and operational costs, smaller space requirements, and substantial energy savings. The process is particularly suitable for temperature-sensitive substrates and eliminates long cool-down waiting times in production lines, while significantly reducing carbon footprint.
