Rhino Linings UK Ltd offers three trademark formulations – TUFF STUFF, Durabond and Hi-Chem. These two-component, 100% solids elastomeric polyurethane formulations provide excellent, long-lasting protection for a vast number of applications. In addition, Rhino Linings offers an excellent 100% solids polyurethane etching primer, and UV Topcoats are available.

TUFF STUFF

TUFF STUFF is the most versatile and most widely-used Rhino Linings formulation. It is used to protect vehicles, building materials, equipment, flooring, machine components, manufactured products, secondary containment, storage facilities, material processing components and countless other surfaces.

TUFF STUFF is the most flexible of our formulations, maintaining its integrity under repeated flexing, regardless of film thickness. It has excellent impact, abrasion and corrosion resistance and provides the highest level of skid resistance, sound deadening and vibration absorption.

Durabond

Durabond is slightly more rigid with higher cross-linking than TUFF STUFF. Its surface is slightly less abrasion and skid resistant, but it provides a high level of corrosion resistance. Durabond has good chemical resistance and effectively reduces sound.

Durabond is an ideal coating for processing equipment and tanks requiring high hydrolytic stability. Durabond is also used as a protective coating system for storage and ballast tanks and other applications in which a seamless flexible system is essential. It is a very effective coating in food handling, food processing and commercial kitchens.

Hi-Chem

Hi-Chem is the Rhino Linings formulation with the most chemical resistance. Although it has some flexibility, it is the most rigid formulation with the highest cross-linking. It is typically sprayed onto metal and concrete surfaces. The coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and will not deteriorate from chemical attack.

Typical applications include wastewater manholes, pipelines, wet wells and treatment tanks. Hi-Chem is especially useful in protecting concrete surfaces suffering from the effects of sulfide-based gases found in raw sewage transmission and waste treatment plants.

Primer 251

Primer 251 is a two-component, 100% solids polyurethane adhesive used to prepare surfaces for the application of Rhino Linings. It can be used on steel, galvanized metal, tin, aluminum, wood, fiberglass, polyurethane and some plastic surfaces. Primer 251 has high resistance to acids and hydrolysis and has excellent results in salt spray, water immersion and hot air tests. It may be applied with a brush, roller or spray equipment.

UV Topcoats

UV Topcoats are two-component, solvent-based, aliphatic polyurethane which provide a high level of protection from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Applied over TUFF STUFF or Durabond, UV Topcoats provide tough, light stable, elastomeric protection from color change and dulling of the surface.

UV Topcoats are designed to:

1. Protect newly-applied light and medium-colored linings from color change

2. Allow custom color matching

3. Refinish dull or weathered linings (after proper preparation including primer)

UV Topcoats are available in virtually any color, including metallics. The preferred method of application is brushing. Cure time ranges from 4 to 8 hours depending on ambient temperature and relative humidity.
