Rivers Supports a Leading CIMC Vehicles Subsidiary with High-Performance Powder Coating Solutions

At Rivers, we help manufacturers transition to more sustainable, durable, and efficient coating technologies. A recent collaboration with a key subsidiary of CIMC Vehicles—one of China's leading special-purpose vehicle manufacturers—demonstrates how powder coating can enhance both product performance and production efficiency.

The Challenge

As a major producer of mixer trucks, powder tankers, and specialized vehicle bodies, the customer sought to replace traditional liquid paint systems with a more environmentally responsible coating solution while maintaining the high durability standards required for demanding outdoor applications.

The Rivers Solution

Rivers developed a customized RAL 9003 High-Gloss White powder coating system specifically designed for heavy-duty transportation equipment.

The coating delivers:

• Excellent appearance with a smooth, high-gloss finish (88 GU @ 60°)

• Outstanding weather resistance, maintaining over 99% gloss retention after 800 hours of xenon exposure

• Superior corrosion protection, passing 800-hour neutral salt spray testing

• High impact resistance, flexibility, hardness, and chemical resistance for long-term outdoor durability

  
  

Sustainability and Efficiency

Compared with conventional liquid coatings, Rivers' powder coating technology significantly reduces VOC emissions while improving material utilization through efficient powder recovery systems. The result is a cleaner, more cost-effective, and environmentally responsible production process.

More Than a Product

Beyond supplying coatings, Rivers provided comprehensive technical support throughout the conversion process, including:

• Customized product development

• Stable large-scale supply

• On-site application support and process optimization
