New Paint Management System Unveiled
FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 2018
Global coatings company AkzoNobel (Amsterdam) is introducing a new system that it says will empower customers in the pre-coated metal industry to create coatings of any gloss or color “on the spot.”
The company notes that to be competitive in the market today, pre-coated metal manufacturers need to have the ability and resources to produce quick turnaround times on an order. Challenges come into play when they’re faced with producing small and large batches of different coatings in a variety of colors.

Global coatings company AkzoNobel (the Netherlands) is introducing a new system that it says will empower customers in the pre-coated metal industry to create coatings of any gloss or color “on the spot.” |
AkzoNobel says that its Pevicoat Paint Management System solves those challenges with a device placed beside the production line, producing any coating necessary right away, which the company notes should save time and money.
“The Pevicoat system introduces a huge degree of flexibility for our customers. The coil coater will have a small paint factory right alongside their production line,” said Simon Parker, Managing Director of AkzoNobel Industrial Coatings.
“This means they can quickly switch between different gloss levels and different colors. It also means they can be highly efficient because there is less waste on the line, a huge benefit for our customers."
The system uses what the company calls specially adapted technology to analyze color samples and then mix pigmented pastes. AkzoNobel says that the system can create a coating formula for laboratory testing or a production run in just two hours.
