Q. Do I have to buy a system for my application?
There are two choices. If you are looking to become an OEM or an applicator, you are required to purchase a complete high pressure or low pressure application system. If you wish to have a licensed Rhino Linings applicator spray your application, you do not need to purchase a system.
Q. What are 100% solids polyurethane and polyurea coatings?
This means that no solvents (VOCs) are used to dissolve, carry or reduce the coating. Additionally, the resin converts to a solid after mixing with isocyanate.
Q. What surface prep is required?
Generally, a surface must be prepped or etched to give it a sufficient profile and then a primer is applied. This assures that the coating has maximum adhesion.
Q. Can additional material be added to Rhino Linings coatings to increase slip-resistance?
Yes. Dispersing aggregate into the formulation can increase the non-slip properties of the lining.
Q. Can I get a do-it-yourself lining kit?
No. Our products can only be sprayed by a licensed Rhino Linings applicator to assure quality results every time.
Q. How long do I need to wait after application before I can begin using my equipment again?
Our formulations are tack free within 40 seconds and are completely set after 24 hours.

Q. Can Rhino Linings be cast or only sprayed?
Yes. Rhino Linings application equipment can be used to cast or spray materials up to a thickness of up to several inches. Our special casting formulation has a slightly slower gel time in order to allow the material to self-level as it is curing.
Q. Are your formulations environmentally friendly?
Absolutely! Our formulations contain no VOCs or CFCs.
Q. Does application require a lot of downtime?
Not at all! Our 100% solids formulations are tack-free within 40-seconds, resulting in little downtime.
Q. Can I remove Rhino Linings after it has been sprayed to my equipment?
Yes. However, Rhino Linings is meant to be a permanent lining.
Q. Does the lining require special care?
When subjected to constant UV exposure, Rhino Linings may fade. However, Rhino Linings offers a UV topcoat capable of protecting your lining from UV damage.
Q. Can I get a customized surface texture?
Yes. Rhino Linings can be textured from fine to heavy. Aggregate can be added to your lining to provide increased slip-resistance.
Q. Will the lining hold up in very rugged conditions and temperature extremes?
Our formulations are designed to withstand temperatures between - 40° and 175°F. Rhino Linings were designed to withstand abrasion, impact, corrosion, vibration, expansion, contraction, flexing and chemical wear.
Q. What surfaces can Rhino Linings be applied to?
Rhino Linings can be applied to metals, concrete, fiberglass, some plastics, wood, geotextile, polyurethane surfaces and more.
Q. How thick can Rhino Linings be sprayed?
Rhino Linings can be sprayed or cast from 1/8" to virtually any desired thickness.
Q. How is Rhino Linings applied?
Rhino Linings are applied through our proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure SprayCast systems.
