Interpon F1500 – For Exterior Furniture
Furniture designed for Exteriors has a wide and varied scope – patio tables and chairs, street benches and advertising boards, park benches and seating. The requirements for the coatings and surface finishing are similar to that of Interior Furniture but with the added Exterior requirements. Properties such as Hardness, Impact, Solvent and Mar Resistance are still essential in maintaining coating performance and aesthetics during the lifetime of the Furniture, but UV durability and corrosion protection are also necessary.
Akzo Nobel’s Interpon F1500 range of Powder Coatings offers a standard level of performance for the Exterior Furniture Market. Our products show excellent colour and gloss stability over variable oven and cure schedules. With a specification derived from the needs of the industry at a basic level, the key performance attributes with associated technical specification are outlined below:
