PROTECTION AGAINST WATER INTRUSION
How Does Rhino Shield Protect Against Water?
Rhino Shield’s exterior coating was rigorously tested for its ability to resist wind-driven rain, simulating some of the harshest weather conditions a home might face. This test, conducted by KTA-Tator, Inc., offers solid proof of Rhino Shield’s protective abilities.
What was tested? The coating used for the test, Rhino Shield’s Durable Finish Coat, was applied in two layers to concrete panels, mimicking how it would be applied to a home’s exterior. The panels were then placed in a wind-driven rain test chamber. For 24 continuous hours, water was sprayed at a rate of 60 to 70 gallons per minute (which is about the amount of water you’d expect from a powerful rainstorm). Simultaneously, air pressure was applied to simulate wind (measured at 5 inches of mercury, which indicates significant wind force). The goal was to see if water would penetrate through the coating.
How do these numbers help? The water flow rate (60-70 gallons per minute) and the internal air pressure (5 inches Hg) provide a clear picture of how tough the test was. These numbers simulate what happens during a severe rainstorm with high winds, where water is forced against the house. The coating had to protect the surface from getting soaked through despite these extreme conditions.
What were the results? Rhino Shield passed the test. No water made its way through the coating, meaning it successfully kept the panels dry. This test followed the ASTM D6904-03(22) standard, which is the recognized method for testing how well exterior coatings hold up to wind-driven rain on masonry (like concrete walls or brick).
What does this mean for you? This test proves that Rhino Shield can defend your home from heavy rain and wind. So, if you live in an area with frequent storms or heavy rainfall, this coating can help prevent water from seeping through your exterior walls, protecting your home from potential damage and moisture-related issues.
Rhino Shield also combines multiple protective features in one product—resistance to fading, mold, algae, and fire, plus its ceramic microspheres help maintain texture. Backed by a 25-year warranty, it offers long-lasting performance. While regular paint might suit budget-conscious DIY projects, Rhino Shield stands out for its superior protection and durability.
insulation
HOW DOES RHINO SHIELD INSULATE?
Rhino Shield’s exterior coating not only defends against harsh weather but also adds a layer of insulation to help regulate your home’s temperature. This insulation property is largely measured by R-Value, which represents how well a material resists heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation. Rhino Shield offers a solid R-Value, which contributes to reducing heat transfer into and out of your home, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This is especially crucial in climates like Florida, where extreme heat can drive up energy costs.
What does this mean for your home?
Rhino Shield doesn’t just protect your home from the elements—it also improves your home’s energy efficiency by acting as an insulator. By reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption, Rhino Shield keeps your home cooler in hot weather, which can lead to lower air conditioning costs. The product’s R-Value ensures that your home is better insulated, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round.
For homeowners, Rhino Shield provides long-lasting protection and significant energy savings. Its high tensile strength and flexibility ensure that the coating remains intact even in changing weather conditions, while its insulation capabilities help reduce energy costs. This makes Rhino Shield a smart investment for those looking for both protection and efficiency.
Longevity
Rhino Shield’s exterior coatings are built to last, and their longevity has been proven through extensive testing. This means that when you choose Rhino Shield, you’re investing in a durable, long-term solution for your home’s exterior. Here’s a breakdown of how Rhino Shield’s performance over time has been thoroughly tested.
How Is This Proven
To ensure Rhino Shield’s durability, samples of the coating were exposed to simulated weather conditions over an extended period. One test involved a sample that was weathered for 1,058 hours of UVA QUV testing, which mimics years of exposure to the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays. This helps determine how well the coating holds up under long-term sunlight exposure, which is crucial for preventing fading, cracking, and other signs of wear.
What Does This Mean For Your Home?
These extensive tests show that Rhino Shield’s exterior coating is designed to last for years, even in harsh conditions like constant sunlight, high humidity, and temperature changes. The coating’s strength, flexibility, and ability to reflect heat all contribute to its long-term durability. With Rhino Shield, you won’t have to worry about frequent repainting or damage caused by the elements.
This longevity means fewer repairs and touch-ups, making it a cost-effective choice for homeowners who want lasting protection and a beautiful exterior that stands the test of time.
Saving money
Rhino Shield’s exterior coatings offer numerous long-term savings, making them a smart investment for homeowners. The advanced testing and features of Rhino Shield prove its ability to reduce maintenance, lower energy costs, and extend the life of your home’s exterior. Here’s how:
reduce maintenance and repairs cost
Rhino Shield has been rigorously tested in numerous labs, including Atlas Material Testing Solutions, BASF, and Q Laboratories. These tests show that the coating can withstand harsh conditions like wind-driven rain and salt tolerance, both of which are common concerns for homes in coastal or storm-prone areas like Florida.
- Wind-driven rain resistance means Rhino Shield prevents water from seeping into your walls, reducing the risk of moisture damage, which can lead to costly repairs.
- No blistering from salt exposure ensures that homes near the coast won’t suffer from the typical wear and tear caused by salty air. This can save you thousands in repair costs over time.
Additionally, Rhino Shield’s strong adhesion on wood (567 psi) and concrete (533 psi) means that it stays firmly attached to your home, reducing the need for frequent repainting or repairs due to peeling or cracking.
mold, mildew, and algae resistant
Rhino Shield has been tested against common fungi like Aspergillus niger and Aureobasidium pullulans using the ASTM D5590 method, showing no mold or mildew growth on both leached and unleached samples.
In Florida’s humid climate, mold and mildew can quickly damage a home’s exterior. With Rhino Shield, you avoid these issues entirely, saving you the expense of cleaning services or siding replacement.
lower energy bills
Rhino Shield’s reflective properties play a huge role in reducing energy consumption.
- High solar reflectance helps keep your home cooler by bouncing sunlight away from the surface, reducing the amount of heat absorbed. This leads to lower air conditioning costs, especially in hot climates like Florida, where cooling is a significant portion of household energy usage. Test results show that the matte finish scores 105.3, while the satin finish scores 107.4, proving that Rhino Shield reflects a significant amount of the sun’s rays
- Thermal emittance (0.90 for both matte and satin finishes) further ensures that any absorbed heat is quickly released, helping to maintain a stable, cool temperature inside your home. Over time, this can result in noticeable savings on your utility bills.
Rhino Shield, homeowners can expect substantial long-term savings through reduced maintenance and repair costs, lower energy bills, and fewer treatments for mold, mildew, or algae. With proven durability in extreme conditions, Rhino Shield ensures that your home remains protected.
