Fire and Explosion Protection


Rhino Linings products have undergone rigorous military testing for blast mitigation and anti-spalling capabilities.

RhinoArmor protective coating provides peerless protection against explosions.

Rhino Linings coatings prevent spalling – the violent showering of detritus following a blast which is responsible for the majority of bomb attack casualties.

When subjected to a VBIED blast equivalent to 100kg of TNT Rhino Linings coatings demonstrated remarkable protection of a structure’s integrity.

Rhino Linings also produces protective coatings for vehicles.
