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.

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 exellent 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 permformed several rounds of testing on Rhino-Shield. As you can see, Rhino-Shield excells at flexibility, tear resistance, tensile strength, and breathability, and viscosity. Addtionally BASF perform an accelerated aging test. At the end of the test Rhnio-Shield showed no visable signs of aging and was still an elastomeric product.
BASF Results will be posted soon….

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 their homeowners insurance.

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.
