International. The company RMB Products, specialized in the manufacture of thermoplastic solutions for industrial applications, announced the use of Arkema's high-performance powder coating, Rilsan, in some of its products.
This coating is an important alternative to protect pipes from corrosion problems, so it is not surprising that RMB Products has chosen to create a joint work agreement with Arkema to improve the quality of its equipment.
In fact, as part of the agreement, RMB Products invested in a fluid bed for large-scale tube coating using the solution offered by its new partner.
It is important to note that Rilsan coating has stood out in the industry for its use in fields such as desalination and water treatment. This is possible thanks to the fact that stainless steel, usually used for these processes, can be replaced by carbon steel coated with Rilsan, which would be a more economical option.
As an additional benefit, according to studies carried out by Arkema, the application of this product reduces CO2 emissions by 40% compared to stainless steel. In addition to having a high resistance both chemical and to aging.
As for the benefits that working together will bring to the companies, RMB executives explained in their official communication that implementing this coating system will allow them to offer products such as valves, pumps, tanks and pipes with corrosion protection .
While Arkema stressed that the experience in application processes will serve to strengthen and improve their offer to the market.
