Architectural coatings are also subject to individual design requirements and the vagaries of time. This is a seminar that answers all your powder coating questions.
IGP stands for quality, safety and reliability – standards that benefit you. You can expect innovative, economical powder coating systems from IGP for a wide range of materials: whether for coating solutions in architecture, industry, transport or the wooden furniture sector.
