Arkema is a global leader in Specialty Materials serving major societal and ecological challenges. The Rilsan® Fine Powders are 100% biobased, renewable polymer powders for use in powder coating metal components. These powders can be used in a variety of powder coating application methods, including electrostatic spray and fluidized bed. Moreover, Rilsan® Fine Powders are derived from castor oil, making them a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-based coatings and reducing environmental impact across their entire lifecycle. Their unique polyamide 11 chemistry not only delivers excellent mechanical strength and flexibility but also ensures remarkable resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and corrosion, which is critical for demanding industrial and manufacturing environments. Consequently, these fine powders offer manufacturers a pathway to meet strict regulatory requirements concerning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sustainability targets, while enhancing the durability and appearance of coated components. Furthermore, their compatibility with established coating technologies enables streamlined integration into existing production lines, supporting both high-performance outcomes and sustainable material choices.

Premature coating failures due to poor chemical or corrosion resistance
High maintenance from short coating lifecycles
Regulatory compliance challenges with traditional coating chemistries
Limited processing flexibility in electrostatic or fluidized bed applications
Inconsistent product supply or lack of industrial scale packaging options
Surface protection needs in extreme or high-wear operating environments
