KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – Arkema has expanded the range of its Rilsan product line 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, 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.

Rilsan polyamide 11 coatings offer a solution for the most demanding applications, including automotive, oil and gas, and fluid transfer. Rilsan fine powders are derived from castor oil, a natural, renewable resource. Arkema offers a great way to combine eco-responsibility with outstanding performance.

Arkema and CSM subsidiary Purac announce their collaboration in functional Lactide-based additives (so-called block copolymers). These additives will enhance the thermo-mechanical and physical properties of many biobased polymers, such as Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), resulting in a wider range of application opportunities. These additives are produced by Arkema's organic catalysis technology, using Purac's L- and D-Lactide monomers.
