RAL Color Powder Coatings

If you're in the market for a high-quality powder coating solution, you may have heard of Rilsan® Powder Coatings. These coatings are known for their superior quality, durability, and versatility, making them a popular choice across a range of industries.

What are Rilsan® Fine Powders?


Rilsan® fine powders from Arkema are a type of renewably sourced, bio-based thermoplastic powder coating used to protect and enhance the surface of metal parts and components. These coatings are made from a unique polymer known as polyamide 11, which is derived from renewable castor oil. Polyamide 11 is a highly durable, long-lasting material resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and harsh impact, making it an ideal coating material for various applications.

How to Apply Rilsan® Powder Coatings


Rilsan® powder coatings can be applied to metal surfaces using a variety of methods including electrostatic spray, fluidized bed and more.

 
Electrostatic spray application is a process where the powder coating is electrically charged and then sprayed onto a prepared metal surface. The powder particles are attracted to the metal and quickly adhere to the surface, forming a uniform and continuous coating layer. The coated parts are then cured in an oven at high temperatures, which causes the powder particles to melt and fuse to form a solid, durable coating that protects the component from corrosion, scratching, staining and more. Learn More about Electrostatic Spray Application Here ►

 
Fluidized bed dip coating is another application process to adhere the thermoplastic powders to the surface of a pre-treated metal part.  Metal components are heated prior to the initial coating and then passed into a vessel full of the thermoplastic powders suspended via continuous air flow.  This liquid-like collection of powder adheres to component surfaces and results in a consistent coating thickness, even on complex metal pieces. Learn More about Fluidized Bed Application Here ►
