The new design, named "Tiana's Bayou Adventure Flyer," features on a Boeing 737-800 and celebrates the company's partnership with Disneyland Resort. The project utilized AkzoNobel's Aerodur basecoat/clearcoat system with 19 custom colors.
The intricate design, requiring over 2,000 hours and 24 days to complete, showcases Princess Tiana, Louis the Alligator, and other characters from The Princess and the Frog. This aircraft joins three other Disney-themed liveries in Alaska Airlines' fleet, all painted by IAC using AkzoNobel coatings.
AkzoNobel (AKZOF) has formed a strategic partnership with IPG Photonics to revolutionize powder coating technology through laser curing solutions. The exclusive agreement covers the EMEA region and involves calibrating AkzoNobel's Interpon powder coatings for IPG's laser technology. The innovative process uses a "cold oven" approach where lasers selectively heat the coating, reducing curing times from 15-20 minutes to just a few minutes.
The technology offers significant advantages: over 50% reduction in investment and operational costs, smaller space requirements, and substantial energy savings. The process is particularly suitable for temperature-sensitive substrates and eliminates long cool-down waiting times in production lines, while significantly reducing carbon footprint.
