Rilsan® Fine Powders and coatings main properties


Rilsan® Fine Powders are thermoplastic polyamide 11 powders used primarily for metal coating. These coatings are
characterized by their excellent durability, with outstanding toughness, impact and abrasion resistance, as well as
excellent weatherability and corrosion resistance.
