AkzoNobel Powder Coatings became the first powder coatings supplier to be awarded Qualicoat Class 2 certification in India. The certification was awarded to Interpon D2525, a super durable architectural powder coating and is the first approval in the higher durability category in India.
Qualicoat is a well-respected external quality standard that ensures products meet clearly defined quality and performance criteria. A high level of quality and performance is critical in the architectural market, and this certification will allow customers and specifiers to choose a product guaranteed to meet their expectations in terms of quality and durability.
Russell Deane, Global Architectural Marketing Manager at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, commented: "This success is an excellent example of the continued progress towards superior performance products in the Indian market. We are extremely pleased to be the first coating manufacturer in India to be awarded the prestigious Qualicoat certification in the super durable category.”
