What is polyacrilonitrile (PAN)?
Go back Polyacrylonitrile is the most common precursor used to make carbon fiber. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a synthetic resin prepared by polymerization of acrylonitrile. It belongs to the important family of acrylic resins and is a tough and rigid thermoplastic material that, resistant to most solvents and chemicals, burns slowly and has a low permeability […]
The seamless ally for lead removal in railway industry
Go back Railway brake blocks are one of the most complex branches of the friction industry Engineers and designers must come up with formulations balanced in several characteristics: – LOW SQUEAL: Due to the high impact involved in railway applications – HIGH HEAT DISSIPATION CAPACITY: Due to the high energy involved in railway applications – WEAR AND […]
Reducing 40% of copper content on existing formulations is at just one test ahead
Go back The copper-free race set on 2021 its first goal. On that point, friction material sold in Washington and California will only allow 5% copper on its composition. Although the seed of this challenge was planted on the mentioned states, this environmental concern has grown up until become into a prevailing assignment for all […]

Bismuth sulfides the new contenders against strong LME dependent metals?
Go back Spoiler, they are! Despite the current circumstances, the increase in the production volume of metallic Bi has divided its base price by 3 and has stabilized at that level, making its use viable for the friction industry. The industry has evolved, and so we did! Since we were the rookies of the friction […]
We have successfully collaborated in the execution of prefabricated niches reinforced with structural polymeric fibers
Go back The incorporation of polymeric fibers has made it possible to completely eliminate the traditional armor, reducing the effects of shrinkage cracks and their propagation. It has also been possible to optimize the thickness of the walls, reducing the total cost in materials and workforce. Fire protection and impact resistance are increased, the risk […]
rimsa collaborates in the execution of the first eco-industrial park in Spain
Go back As part of the second phase of the Iberum Central Platform, the first eco-industrial park in Spain, rimsa has participated with the technical study and supply of 470 tons of steel fibers as reinforcement for a 68,000 m2 concrete floor. This important logistics building is strategically located in the Illescas Green Logistics Park, […]
