Product > Coating > Rilsan Coating
RILSAN coating offers excellent protection against corrosion for parts of any shape (tubes, flanges, joint cross, elbows, T-joint, Y-joint and others), for new parts and maintenance. Steel, cast iron and aluminum are protected.
It has an outstanding resistance to:
• water, effluent liquid, salted water immersion
• sea air
• Detachment cathodic
• Hydrocarbons, solvent and a substantial number of chemical products.
The main feature of the material is being a thermoplastic which is obtained by the polycondensation of 11 aminoundecanoic acid. It is derived from castor oil which is made from seeds of castor plants.
The result of this process is polyamide of 11 carbon atoms with the formula: H[HN – (CH2)10 – CO]n OH
Currently, the different coating, finishing and protection systems are offered to the manufactures of equipment and hydraulic engineering. A few systems offer advantages, the efficiency and saving of RILSAN system used in our company, besides everything that was mentioned, reflect in a proved history without toxic contamination.
Several oilfield companies use coated injection water lines due to 11 polyamide high resistance to the sulfuric acid or carbon dioxide in the water.
Besides that, the outstanding resistance to salt water, which protects against corrosion in the desalination plant at a lower cost when compared to stainless steel ones.
Hydraulic Plant Protection against corrosion which is ensured by the coating is usually tested in different performance standards.
One of the most famous norms is BSI WIS 4-52-0. There are other similar norms in Holland (KIWA BRLK 759-01), United States (UL 1091) and Australia (AS/NZ 4168). They are based on the following principles:
• Physical and mechanical performance
• Protection Performance against corrosion
• Quality Warranty Follow-up
• Behavior when in contact with potable water
The suitable method depends on the components to be protected. It can be used due to:
• Physical and mechanical performance
• Protection Performance against corrosion
• Quality Warranty Follow-up
• Behavior when in contact with potable water
RILSAN coating has the following special features:
• Low humidity absorption
• Good resistance to bad weather
• High thermal resistance
• Buffering to vibration
Moreover, its high molecular weight offers:
• Outstanding resistance to abrasion
• Excellent resistance to impact and low friction coefficient that makes fluid circulation easier
• Flexibility
