PowerCoat® Solution is the technology developed by The Italian RotaGroup, a specialist in services related to the aluminium supply chain, has introduced its new PowerCoat® Solution. Through this, it hopes to set in motion the industrialisation of magnesium, making it stable, economically competitive and sustainable.
Magnesium is a material with considerable potential that has so far found few applications due to the problems related to its industrialisation, corrosive processes and instability of the material in the industrial handling phase.
The electro-ceramification process for aluminium and magnesium alloys developed by RotaGroup is able to make these materials incredibly stable, durable and resistant, opening up new horizons for global sectors such as the aerospace and automotive. PowerCoat® Solution has already qualified for high-level automotive corrosion protection requirements and tests are underway for the use of accessories and body parts in the production line.
RotaGroup will start the construction of the pilot plant in 2019 and it will be operational from 2020. The plant will be the model for global replicability and scalability, with a medium-term growth plan of five production sites to be located in geographical areas characterised by a low Kwh cost.
