Rhinopave 1K oil modified polyurethane paving paint: the durable solution for concrete surfaces

For those looking for a tough, durable and easy-to-apply coating for concrete surfaces.
Rhinopave 1K oil-modified polyurethane paving paint is the ideal solution. Developed by Wagon Paints, Rhinopave is a single-pack, oil-modified polyurethane coating designed to offer excellent protection for interior and exterior concrete surfaces. Whether it’s for pedestrian walkways or areas exposed to vehicular traffic, Rhinopave is built to withstand the demands of tough environments while maintaining an attractive, easily cleaned finish.

Why Choose Rhinopave?

Rhinopave is packed with properties that make it a leading choice for a wide range of concrete applications. Some of its key features include:

  • Simple single-pack formula: Easy to use, Rhinopave is a one-component system, meaning it doesn’t require complex mixing, saving both time and effort.
  • Tough and durable finish: Rhinopave creates a hard-wearing surface that resists marring and abrasion, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Attractive and easily cleaned: Not only is it durable, but it also delivers a high semi-gloss finish that is aesthetically pleasing and easy to maintain.
  • Resistant to hot-tyre pickup: Rhinopave polyurethane paving paint is designed to withstand the heat and pressure from vehicle tyres, reducing the risk of lifting or peeling caused by hot tyres.
  • Versatile application: Whether you choose to use a brush, roller or spray equipment, Rhinopave concrete paint is easy to apply, ensuring a smooth, even finish every time.

Rhinopave applications: ideal for a range of concrete surfaces

Rhinopave 1K Oil-Modified Polyurethane is suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications, particularly for areas that experience regular pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Typical uses include:

  • Factories, warehouses, and garages: Rhinopave’s durable finish can handle the wear and tear of industrial settings.
  • Parking areas and flat driveways: Ideal for car parks and driveways where vehicular traffic is constant.
  • Paths and steps: Rhinopave offers slip-resistant properties when aggregates are incorporated, making it perfect for pedestrian areas.

Rhinopave limitations

While being a versatile concrete paint, it’s important to note that Rhinopave is not suitable for low-porosity surfaces like bricks, terracotta, slate or clay pavers. Additionally, surfaces with a gradient slope greater than 1:8 should be avoided unless nonslip aggregates are used.

Rhinopave – performance and durability

Rhinopave is formulated to provide excellent resistance in demanding environments:

  • Weather resistance: With very good weather resistance, Rhinopave performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. However, for areas exposed to high UV levels, more frequent reapplications may be necessary to maintain its protective qualities.
  • Chemical resistance: While Rhinopave offers good resistance to oil and certain chemicals, it may stain or discolour when exposed to some chemicals and vehicle tyres. Wagon Paints’ technical department is available to provide more detailed guidance on these limitations.
  • Heat resistance: Rhinopave withstands temperatures up to 120°C, although prolonged exposure to high heat is not recommended.
  • Abrasion resistance: The coating’s excellent abrasion resistance ensures long-lasting performance even in areas with heavy foot or vehicle traffic.

Rhinopave application tips for optimal results

Rhinopave is designed to be easy to apply but following best practices can enhance its performance:

  • Surface preparation: Proper preparation is key to achieving optimal adhesion. Steel-trowelled concrete should be acid-etched or mechanically abraded to remove surface laitance. For previously coated concrete, Wagon Paints recommends applying a test patch to assess compatibility, though complete removal of existing coatings is encouraged for best results.
  • Mixing and application: Thoroughly mix the contents of the can before application. For best results, Rhinopave can be applied using a brush, roller or spray equipment. Be mindful not to apply thick coats, as this can lead to bubbling, especially in warm conditions.
  • Non-slip considerations: If the surface will be exposed to pedestrian traffic or slopes, nonslip aggregates should be incorporated into the coating to enhance safety. Always consult Wagon Paints’ technical department for advice on achieving the required slip resistance.

Maintenance for long-term performance

Keeping your Rhinopave-coated surface in top condition is easy with regular maintenance. For general cleaning, a mild alkaline detergent can be used with a mop or brush to keep the surface looking its best. Proper maintenance not only extends the lifespan of the coating but also enhances the overall appearance of your floors, paths or driveways.
