The coating has been developed to deliver high levels of protection against corrosion and everyday wear and tear for springs and other essential automotive components. For customers, this means greater reliability and fewer maintenance costs, improving both safety and long-term value.

Key to Dual Coat is that it doesn’t contain zinc, resulting in a solution that reduces the production line’s environmental impact. It also enables customers to use less material due to the primer’s reduced density, optimizing the overall cost per unit coated. Another key feature, BPA label-free, ensures safer handling, transport and use globally. 

Dual Coat is the result of more than three years of extensive research. It has successfully passed the requirements set by a leading spring manufacturer.

The Interpon A1000 series is a range of powder coatings designed to provide reliable protection not only against the weather, but also against fuel, battery acids and other common challenges found in automotive applications. These coatings are widely used to protect a range of critical automotive components, including engine blocks, suspension springs and brake systems.
