Navigating the Future of Friction: rimsa at EuroBrake 2026
The friction industry is facing its most significant technical and regulatory challenge to date. The impending implementation of Euro 7 emission limits, the progressive phase-out of legacy materials like Antimony (Sb) and Copper (Cu) in NAO and Low-Steel formulations, and the constant pressure to reduce development costs without sacrificing performance have irrevocably changed the game. […]

From Raw Material to High Performance: A Visual Journey Through Our 3 Business Verticals
At RIMSA, our story is told not just with words, but with transformations. Our motto, “people rethinking solutions,” comes to life in the journey our materials take: from a modest origin, such as industrial waste or a basic raw material, to becoming a critical high-performance component. We invite you on a visual tour through our three […]
From Recuperación Industrial to RIMSA: 40 Years of Transforming Materials into Solutions
In 1985, in an industrial landscape very different from today’s, a project with a unique vision was born: Recuperación Industrial de Metales, S.A., or as we know it today, RIMSA. What began as a company dedicated to supplying brass bars and custom-cut parts would soon reveal its true DNA: the ability to see opportunities where […]
Friction Modifiers: types, applications and selection guide
Friction modifiers are special additives incorporated into friction materials to fine-tune their tribological properties, specifically their friction coefficient, wear and NVH characteristics. They play a crucial role in achieving the desired balance between friction stability, noise reduction, and wear resistance in various applications like brake pads, clutch discs, and other friction-dependent components. Common types of […]
Types of Friction Materials and Their Applications
Friction materials are essential components in a wide range of industrial applications. But what do we mean when we talk about “friction” materials? Basically, these are materials designed to generate a controlled resistance force, known as friction, between surfaces in relative contact. This force is essential to control movement, transmit power and ensure safety in […]
