Where are we coming from? From Asbestos-based to NAO Copper-free
Go back A joined effort among manufacturers, regulatory organizations and the automotive industry has brought a noticeable evolution on the composition of the friction materials All machine in movement needs to be stopped at some moment. The brake is responsible to turn this kinetic energy into heat and release it through the interface. This is the everlasting […]
Fibers modify the non-linear behavior of structural concrete
Go back The incorporation of fibers into the concrete matrix modifies the non-linear behavior of structural concrete, especially in tension, preventing the opening and propagation of fissures The UNE-83510 standard specifies the conditions to which the fiber must be subjected. The test consists of stretching the fiber until it breaks. It should be remembered that […]
Different strategies to remove copper from existing formulations
Go back What started many years ago in the political corridors in the US, has risen as a priority project for almost all material development laboratories across the globe Being automotive such a globalized industry, a concern that has sprung up on a specific market, can quickly become into a worldwide trend if it is […]
Flooring of shops, shopping centers and the food industry
Go back The pavements of the commercial surfaces of sale to the general public have demanding aesthetic and durability requirements Generally they are extensive surfaces with low hypotheses of loads and surface finish with decorative cladding. Steel fibers and structural polymeric macro fibers added to concrete have become the most demanded solution to minimize execution […]
REACH changes its normativity on the labeling and SDS of brass containing Pb
Go back As of January 5, 2021, manufacturers/distributors on the EU market of brake pads will not only to notify downstream customers of the presence of SVHCs but ECHA itself as well if it contains a whole contain > = 0.1 % Pb (SVHC) Recycled brass chips & swarfs are produced during the mechanization of […]
Fiber-reinforced projected concrete for tunnel applications
Go back Solutions to reduce thickness and increase productivity For many years, steel fiber-reinforced concrete has been successfully used worldwide in projected concrete applications. This reinforced concrete provides multiple advantages such as: Material and runtime savings Reinforcement ductility Easy application Safe-working environment As in conventional concrete, projected concrete is a fragile material, with limited traction […]
SF range: Substitution of tin sulphides through modification of oxidation properties of synthetic sulphides
Go back The use of composite sulfides with a particular microstructure allows to reduce the content of Sn without compromising safety and wear. Tin sulphides are widely used by OE manufacturers. However, the high content of tin makes them very expensive and LME dependent. The use of synthetic metal sulfides has been seen as one […]
Dock pavements without steel mesh
Go back rimsa collaborates in port paving works in Spain In recent years Rimsa has collaborated successfully in the construction of pavements in several ports in Spain, among which stand out: port of Algeciras, port of Huelva, port of Malaga, port of Barcelona and port of Pasaia among others. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (HRFA), the […]
LM09: Replacing Sb2S3 without busting the bank
Go back LM09 is a synergistic composite designed to replace the dangerous antimony trisulfide in brake pad applications with minimum need of testing and reformulation. – LM09 is designed to provide high thermal conductivity to the pad – LM09 keeps the performance at high temperature and reduces wear – Can be used in all kinds […]
