Protecting Assets with Spray Applied Coatings
Protecting Assets with Spray Applied Coatings: Get more life out of your plant and equipment
The economic impact of corrosion is often exacerbated in humid, tropical conditions found in areas such as northern Queensland. The moisture and heat accelerate the deterioration of machinery, vehicles, and assets. Applying a protective surface coating is one way of minimising or reducing the effect.
The Benefits of Spray Applied Coatings in Australian Climate
When it comes to corrosion, abrasion, and impact protection, Spray-applied polymer surface treatments can meet the demands of the variable Australian climate, including the often-harsh working environments of construction sites, remote mining facilities, and automotive, agricultural, marine, military, and local council infrastructure requirements.
Expanding Rhino Linings Network Across Australia
Despite still challenging economic conditions, Rhino Linings is experiencing strong growth in all regional areas of Australia and expanding the range of companies we have been approaching to be applicators and dealers.
The addition of Rhino Linings to a panel beater, repair shop, or even commercial painter can extend the range of services that can be offered.
While RLA originated in the automotive industry, our products are not just used for ute trays. For more than a quarter of a century, Rhino has also been protecting military vehicles, boats, flooring, buildings, structures, and industrial equipment, in addition to traditional trucks, 4WDs, and prime movers.
Having started out as a domestic and commercial painter, Haydon Mann and his partner Sheree took on the Rhino Linings Townsville dealership. This move has allowed them to shift into a variety of other asset protection work.
When the opportunity of taking up a full Rhino Linings dealership came, Haydon didn’t have to deliberate too long before accepting. He realised that a lot of the techniques learned as a painter were the same for using Rhino Lining’s spray polymers, with preparation being key to ensuring a great finish. These same skills are also required by panel beaters and spray painters.
During his first year as an applicator/dealer, Haydon and his staff worked on a diverse range of projects, including coating a whole boat, cane harvester spirals and other farm equipment, floors, and spraying the externals of 4WD vehicles, not to mention the usual ute tub liners.
Did you know that cane farmers usually have to replace parts of their harvesters every year?
Rhino linings spray applied coatings can extend this to at least three years, resulting in far less downtime.

Spray applied coatings are protective layers sprayed onto surfaces to shield them from damage like corrosion, abrasion, and impact. They are used on a variety of materials, including metal and concrete, to extend their lifespan.
2. What Materials are Used in Spray Applied Coatings?
Common materials including polyurea, polyurethane, and epoxy, are used in spray applied coatings. These polymers are chosen for their durability and protective qualities against harsh conditions. These materials are chosen for their excellent protective properties, such as high resistance to corrosion, abrasion, chemicals, and impact.
