HCM CITY — AkzoNobel, a leading global paint and coating manufacturer, presented Interpon, its powder coatings brand featuring innovative façade and green building solutions that enhance sustainability in the architectural sector, at the ZAK World of Façades conference in HCM City.

ZAK World of Façades is a global conference series, regarded as the platform that defines standards for façade design and engineering. Now in its 203rd global edition and third appearance in Việt Nam, the event focuses on driving sustainable innovations and tackling construction industry challenges related to the building envelope.

In her keynote, Nguyễn Thị Thanh Hà, country sales manager for Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia at AkzoNobel, shared the latest trends and real-world data in lightweight materials in modern construction, the use of powder coatings to simulate natural finishes and the company’s efforts to support sustainability across the value chain.

At the Interpon booth, visitors were able to view real coating samples, giving them a direct sense of the products’ quality and aesthetics.

Notably, the newly launched Interpon D Natural Metals collection can replace the look of real metals like copper, bronze, and gold with cost efficiency, super-durable performance, reduced maintenance, and a global warranty of up to 25 years on coating performance for architectural projects.

“What we design today will determine the resilience of our urban landscapes for the next 20-30 years. In the face of climate change and the inevitable shift toward green buildings, investors and customers are increasingly prioritising sustainable materials that ensure long-term protection. To meet this demand, AkzoNobel continuously innovates its Interpon portfolio to offer powder coatings solutions with superior durability and high coverage,” Hà said. — VNS
