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
