Rilsan® (PA11) coating: Durable protection against corrosion and wear
Rilsan® PA11 is a high-performance polyamide used to protect metal parts against corrosion, wear and certain mechanical aggressions, while providing an excellent finish and very good durability.
Rilsan® is made from polyamide 11 (PA11) powder, a thermoplastic polymer developed and manufactured by Arkema . This material is obtained through a unique process of transforming castor oil, a renewable plant resource.
Thanks to its bio-based origin and its durability properties, Rilsan® boasts an excellent environmental record while offering high technical performance. It is therefore a particularly suitable coating solution for the long-term protection of metal parts in numerous industrial applications.
Versatile protection
Rilsan® is suitable for corrosion, abrasion, mechanical protection and durable finishing needs.
Very good mechanical performance
It provides flexibility, shock resistance and good support for parts being handled or stressed.
Proven technical coating
A solution recognized in many industrial sectors for its performance and durability.
Technical data:
Nature of the material: Bio-based Polyamide 11 (PA11)
Origin : From a renewable source (oil
castor oil)
Typical thickness 150 to 500 microns
Temperature range
indicative Temperature range: Approximately -40°C to +130°C
Key properties: Chemical resistance, dimensional stability, low density, good mechanical strength
Important point: use and function
Rilsan® is used to provide long-lasting protection for metal parts in demanding environments such as industry, water networks or the food industry.
It offers excellent corrosion resistance (up to 2000 hours of salt spray), very high mechanical resistance to abrasion and cavitation, as well as high chemical inertness to bases, acids and solvents.
Certified for contact with drinking water and food , it also has very good dielectric strength , making it suitable for certain electrical applications, particularly in electric vehicles.
Corrosion protection
Rilsan® effectively protects many parts against corrosion in suitable industrial environments ( up to 2000 hours of salt spray).
Abrasion and impact resistance
A suitable solution for parts subjected to friction, handling, impacts or moderate mechanical wear.
Functional parts
Grids, baskets, metal components, handling parts, supports, elements in contact with water or exposed to the outdoors.

Controlled application process
The performance of a Rilsan® coating depends on the material, but also on surface preparation, application, and final inspection. This overall control determines the durability of the result.
1. Needs analysis
Desired function, type of part, environment, mechanical constraints, dimensions.
2. Surface preparation
Preparation adapted to the substrate to ensure adhesion and stability of the system.
3. Coating application
Controlled application based on geometry, use, and the required level of protection (dip or powder coating).
4. Controls
Inspection, visual conformity and verification of the final result according to project requirements.
