Testing

At Rhino-Shield, designing and testing is an ongoing process. We are very proud of
our testing results and believe the tests support our position as the ceramic coating
leaders. Independent testing confirms our performance claims, and offers assurance
to our customers that Rhino-Shield will perform on their home.

Salt Tolerance
Rhino-Shield is the most salt tolerant coating on the market.
This is vital in coastal areas. As the testing shows, we are
in the top category of salt tolerance and even outperformed
the industry standard, Rustoleum.

3M Thermo Conductivity
Most paints and coatings utilize mineral filer and chalk
(CaCO3-calcium carbonate) as filers. At Rhino-Shield we
use 3M ceramic spheres. Besides excellent durability,
they help insulate. Rhino-Shield qualifies as a "Low-e"
coating. This test compares the thermal conductivity of
CaCO3 versus W410 and K46 spheres utilized in Rhino-Shield. As you can clearly
see in the graphs, the CaCO3 allows heat to quickly transfer while the ceramics
prevent it.

BASF Testing
BASF is one of the largest and most respected chemical
companies in the world. They are recognized by the slogan
"We don't make a lot of the product you buy, we make a lot
of the products you buy better". BASF has performed
Rhino-Shield excels at flexibility, tear resistance, tensile
strength, and breathability, and viscosity. Additionally BASF perform an accelerated
aging test. At the end of the test Rhnio-Shield showed no visable signs of aging and
was still and elastomeric product.


Fire and Smoke Rating
Rhino-Shield has a class A fire and smoke rating. In
some areas of the country prone to wildfires, buildings
with a class A fire rating may qualify for a discount on
