Our Recipe for Perfection
Since pioneering sprayed-on polyurethane linings in the United States in 1988, Rhino has evolved this powerful two-component system into a remarkably easy way to add durability, corrosion and chemical resistance to almost any surface.
Polyurethane Composition
Polyurethane refers to coatings or materials made with isocyanate compounds containing the isocyanate (NCO) group. The number of isocyanate groups distinguish the chemicals as mono-isocyanate (one group), diisocyanate (two groups) or poly-isocyanate (three or more groups).
In a two-component system, the diisocyanate reacts with a resin having a reactive hydrogen. The coating that results from this reaction is the foundation of the basic fundamental key performance properties of polyurethanes: durability, corrosion and chemical resistance.
100% Solids
# Rhino Linings USA's formulations are all 100% solids polyurethane coating systems, which means they are formed when an isocyanate solution and a polyol solution are combined, producing a rapid and exothermic chemical polymerization reaction.No solvents (VOCs) are used to dissolve, carry or reduce the coating
# The resin converts to a solid after mixing with isocyanate
# Viscosity of the lining is determined by selection and design of the resin, not by solvents
# Specialty additives may also be added to the resin, including:UV stabilizers to provide gloss retention
# Surfactants
# Molecular scavengers to inhibit moisture contamination
# Anti-oxidants to reduce oxidation
# Anti-foaming agents
