Protective Coating

 

RIMAC is an innovative material with multiple applications in the civil and industrial sectors of the construction industry. A 2 mm thick coating has an excellent chemical-physical resistance and can be applied as a protection to  concrete, asphalt and iron.


Features:

- strong adherence to cement, bitumen and steel

- exceptional resistance to direct and indirect traction

- excellent resistance to thermal shock

excellent resistance to sliding friction

excellent resistance to bending and traction

- excellent impermeability and resistance to hydrostatic pressure 

- good elasticity

- qualified for use with potable water

- particulate matter anti-pollution properties (PM 10, PM 2,5)

 

Applications:

- waterproofing of tanks, pipelines, dams and canals

- water purification and treatment plants

- protection of structures exposed to marine or industrial environments

- protection, renovation and reinforcement of concrete structures

- anti-pollution action, and protection from wear and tear of highway structures

- protection of road surfaces from antifreeze chemical products 

- Foreign Object Damage prevention for airport service area concrete surfaces

- Foreign Object Damage prevention for asphalt runways
