AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS: AkzoNobel NV announced that customers using its yacht coatings can now take advantage of a new digital tool which offers a wide selection of colours from its industry-leading Awlgrip product range.
Building on the existing International and AkzoNobel colour pallets, the new MIXIT tool includes more than 18,000 colours and is larger than any existing offering on the yacht market. Its newly developed cloud interface also means that users have quick and easy access globally.
The system played a key role in developing the custom-made colours for all the competing teams in the current edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. As the official Boatyard supplier, AkzoNobel coated all the boats in the fleet, while a mixing tool is also travelling around the world to help the shore teams carry out repairs and maintenance at each of the stopovers.
In addition, a new Awlcraft SE product line for yacht owners has been introduced. The basecoat provides a variety of colour options – such as solid, metallic and pearl effects – as seen on team AkzoNobel’s own race boat. The new solution also decreases the time needed to respond to customer requirements.
