Rhino Shield Coating: A Safe and Effective Cover for Asbestos Surfaces

June 3, 2024

Asbestos was once the go-to material choice for buildings due to its excellent thermal insulation properties. However, it's no secret that prolonged exposure to asbestos is harmful to human health. At Rhino Shield of Pittsburgh, we've developed an efficient, safe solution for you – our state-of-art Rhino Shield coating.


What is Asbestos?


Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are known for their heat-resistance, strength, and insulation properties. Despite these beneficial characteristics, asbestos has been recognized as a health hazard, with exposure leading to serious health issues such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.


Dangers of Asbestos 


When asbestos-containing materials deteriorate or are disturbed, they release fibers into the air. When these fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious health problems as they can remain in the body for prolonged periods. The best way to prevent exposure to asbestos is to encase or remove the asbestos-containing materials.


The Rhino Shield Solution


Rhino Shield coating safely encapsulates asbestos, preventing its harmful fibers from becoming airborne and being inhaled. Our elastomeric ceramic paint coating bonds with the surface, firmly sealing the asbestos material underneath. This creates an impermeable barrier that not only protects inhabitants from potential harm but enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building too.


The Advantages of Rhino Shield


Aesthetically Pleasing: Rhino Shield offers a broad spectrum of vibrant colors that can transform your building into a visual masterpiece while providing the necessary protection.


Durability: The elastomeric and ceramic combination of Rhino Shield ensures a formidable resistance to cracking, chipping, peeling, and weather damage.


Longevity: Unlike traditional painting methods which often need a retouch every five years, Rhino Shield ceramic paint coating lasts much longer, breaking the endless painting cycle.
