Interpon® D product range meet the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and Standards Australia.
AAMA standards are the globally recognised specification, performance requirement and test procedure for organic coatings on aluminium extrusions and panels as set out by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association. The standards assist architects, owners and contractors to specify coatings for aluminium applications that will provide and maintain a minimum level of performance.
AS3715 for ‘Metal Finishing – Thermoset powder coating for architectural applications of aluminium and aluminium alloys’ sets out the Australian standards required for pre-treatment, application and performance of powder coatings on aluminium substrates. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) provides a nationally accepted and uniform set of technical requirements for all areas of building, from design to construction. Developed by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) on behalf of the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments, the BCA is referred to as the building regulation in all States and Territories – 2010 – these are the regulatory Australian guide lines which defines construction requirements for residential and commercial projects.
How are the warranties issued?
Only Interpon® D Approved Applicators (such as ACT Powder Coating Services) can offer warranties on the architectural product range for architectural aluminium applications.
A project certificate outlining the project and product details will be issued to the Approved Applicator upon completion of work.
What is the difference between an Interpon D Approved Applicator and non-Approved Applicator?
Our network of approved applicators are regularly assessed against comprehensive criteria and rigorous application guidelines. Quality controlled to best in class standards to ensure their pre-treatment and application procedures meet these strict guidelines.
These standards are designed to ensure the application process is adhered to in accordance with the requirements of both AkzoNobel, and global industry standards, ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction possible.
What happens if I do not use an Interpon® D Approved Applicator?
The components will not be eligible for warranty.
Dulux Warranty Alumi Shield™ 
Dulux Powder Coatings are an ideal choice for the long term protection of architectural aluminium items for your next project, and provide assurance through the issue of Alumi Shield™ Warranties.
Protected substrates
The Dulux Alumi Shield™ warranties are available for warranty grade Dulux Powder coat products on architectural grade aluminium. Example items made from architectural aluminium include windows, louvres, doors, balustrades, decorative sheet amongst others.
Warranted Performance
The Alumi Shield™ Warranty is made up of two key components, a colour warranty (for fade and chalking) and a durability warranty (film integrity).
| Colour Warranty | Durability Warranty | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|

Terms and conditions apply
- Dulux Alumi Shield™ Warranties are your assurance that the coating will not:
- 1Fade (colour) – Colour fade testing will give a delta E (Hunter) laboratory reading less than five units from the original colour. In accordance with ASTM D2244.
- 2Chalk – not exceed a rating of 2 for whites & pastels and a rating of 3 for deep colours as assessed in accordance with AS1580.481.1.11 test method.
- The Alumi Shield™ durability warranty is a film integrity assurance that products will not Peel, crack or flake for the warranty period from the date the Product is applied to the Metal.
- Warranties are only valid when applied by a Dulux Accredited Powder Coater (such as ACT Powder Coating Services) to the warranty specification on recommended project types and conditions and maintained within the Dulux recommended Care and maintenance guidelines.
- All Dulux premium powder coat products are backed by product specific Alumi ShieldTM warranties. Below is an overview of the warranty periods by product available from Dulux.
*Excluding Intensity – 15 Years
Project Suitability
It is important to define your project correctly to ensure the correct product is specified and the performance and warranty is able to be gained for your project.
Both project type and the environment (conditions) will impact on the exposure of the powder coat to elements such as UV, dirt and salt. For instance, marine and coastal environments are exposed to winds and sea salts, which have a long-term impact on the performance of coating systems due to erosion and weathering, and commercial projects will be exposed to greater environmental impacts, whether they be the usage of the environment or the height of the building.
To ensure products are fit for these environments Dulux recommends suitable products based on the AS3715 and AAMA testing standards. These standards provide a benchmark of product quality that are an assurance that your asset will be protected by a product fit for purpose. For complete details relating to these standards visit aamanet.org
To define projects we utilise three key sources:
1. The building classifications under the Building code of Australia (BCA)
2. Industry standards for powder coatings – Primarily AAMA and AS3715
3. Environmental condition utilising AS4312 and ISO12944 Atmospheric corrosivity zones in Australia as a guide
The following tables allow you to identify your project, to look at the appropriate products for the environment, whether it be interior or exterior, the care and maintenance required, and details on our Dulux Accredited Powder Coaters, as only Dulux Accredited Powder coaters are able to issue our Dulux Alumi Shield warranties.
Definitions:
- Non-Habitable projects are those that are not dwelling types. Examples can be furniture, bus shelters, signage etc.
- Residential properties are typically easy to maintain, given their height and access.
- High-rise projects are less sheltered from neighbouring buildings, raising their exposure and reducing their ease of maintenance.
- Monumental projects attract the most attention and have the highest standards required to uphold the reputation expected from landmark sites
