Powder Coatings for Underhood and Underbody Automotive Parts
High-Performance Coatings for Underhood and Underbody Parts
The parts under the hood or underside of a vehicle may not be easily seen, but they can easily become corroded or damaged. Interpon A1000 is a series of powder coatings specifically designed to protect these parts from the corrosive effects of fuel, battery acid, and the general wear and tear from stone chips and environmental exposure. It features AkzoNobel’s proprietary particle management technology for improved application performance, including advanced fluidity (AF) and advanced cavity (AC) technology. Available as Bisphenol A (BPA) label-free powders, they also offer faster curing or at a lower temperature, boosting your production or reducing energy consumption. Widely used to protect a range of parts, including engine blocks, valve covers, suspension springs, and brake parts, Interpon A1000 coatings offer superior protection and performance.

Interpon A1230 is a thermosetting powder coating solution ideal for oil and air filters, shock absorbers, and other critical underhood components. Offering excellent resistance to hot oil and other environmental factors, it adds both protective and aesthetic value. Available in a variety of colors and gloss finishes, Interpon A1230 doesn’t just protect—it decorates. This powder coating is particularly suited for rough cast metal surfaces, offering ultra-low cure solutions for shock absorbers and high levels of corrosion resistance. It also protects parts from chipping and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability. For added flexibility, black or metallic effect powders are available for valve covers.
Designed for coil springs, shock absorbers, and torsion bars, Interpon A1242 delivers enhanced durability for a smoother, safer ride. This powder coating system offers different options depending on the needs of the application. The single-layer system is a cost-efficient solution with excellent corrosion protection and chip resistance for standard springs, making it easy to apply while ensuring high performance. For premium high-tensile springs, Interpon A1242 offers two advanced systems: the Dual Coat system, which includes zinc and non-zinc primers for superior protection, and the Super Single Coat (SSC), designed to meet highest OEM standards in a single layer with advanced chip resistance properties.
Interpon A1243 is the go-to choice for brake components that require both durability and style. This powder coating combines toughness with exceptional corrosion and chemical resistance, making it ideal for brake pads, brake discs, calipers, and other wheel parts. The vibrant range of color options allows manufacturers to meet modern design trends, especially for open-wheel designs where brake components are on display. Interpon A1243 ensures long-lasting protection while adding a visual appeal to automotive brake systems.
Engine blocks require coatings that can stand up to demanding conditions, and Interpon A1250 delivers just that. This powder coating is designed to provide excellent wetting of rough surfaces, ensuring even coverage in recessed areas and superior edge protection. With faster curing times, Interpon A1250 also supports increased production efficiency. Its durable powder film resists chipping and flaking during high-speed machining processes, preventing debris and ensuring the engine block remains intact. Available in a variety of gloss levels and textures, Interpon A1250 meets protection and a refined finish, perfectly suited to meet modern engine block design aspirations.
To achieve high-quality reflective finishes for metal headlamp reflectors, an Interpon A1270 powder coating primer is essential. This primer provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface, covering defects and creating the ideal foundation for the vacuum metallization process. Designed specifically for the unique demands of headlamp reflectors, Interpon A1270 ensures a high-reflection finish, offering both durability and aesthetics for critical automotive lighting components.
