Arkema Introduces New Rilsan Fine Powders Grade For Outdoor Furniture

The Rilsan fine powders product line has expanded its range of bio-based polyamide coating powders for the outdoor furniture market. Along with Rilsan T Grey 9102 MAC and Rilsan ES Grey 9132 MAC, Arkema now offers two grey-colored (RAL 7021) grades designed for fluidized bed dipping and electrostatic spraying.

These two grades were formulated to offer outstanding UV-resistance, while keeping core properties brought by Rilsan fine powders PA11 coatings. These properties include long-term resistance to extreme maritime and industrial environments (*up to 15 years in C5-I, C5-M environments as defined in ISO 12944:1998 Part 2), anti-graffiti properties, fire resistance, electrical insulation, and chemical resistance. Outstanding mechanical properties are also inherited, which include impact resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, a unique grip, and warm-to-the-touch feel.

As a thermoplastic powder for coatings, Rilsan fine powders offer an exceptional choice in processing methods, which allows coating complex parts with various geometries.

Combining beauty and function, Rilsan polyamide 11 coatings offer a solution for the most demanding applications. The Rilsan brand has become the reference for industries looking for the ultimate solution in metal protection, such as automotive, oil and gas, and fluid transfer.

Rilsan fine powders are derived from castor oil, a 100% vegetable, natural, non-toxic, and renewable resource. Here, Arkema offers a great way to combine eco-responsibility with outstanding performance.
