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.
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.
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

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.
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

The successful implementation improved coating quality, production efficiency, and environmental performance while helping the customer establish a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Today, Rivers' powder coating solution is widely recognized as a reliable option for mixer trucks, powder tankers, and other heavy-duty transportation equipment operating in demanding outdoor environments.
At Rivers, we continue to develop coating solutions that combine durability, sustainability, and long-term value for manufacturers worldwide.
