Rhino Linings Rexar Military Grade Protective Coatings for Defense
Rhino Linings Australasian head office and manufacturing plant located on Queensland’s Gold Coast has been producing the US Military approved range of military grade protective coatings that have for over 20 years been used in composite armour for vehicles and structures. Additionally, this product range can be found providing corrosion, abrasion, blast protection and blast mitigation solutions in military personnel carriers, helicopters, fleet vehicles, radar towers, bridges, airports, tank skins, field hospitals and mobile communication structures.
Independent testing conducted by New Mexico Tech Energetic Material Research and Testing Centre (EMRTC), proved that Rhino Linings successfully passed blast mitigating capabilities required for Government facilities.
EMRTC’s testing involved a reaction structure made of up two identical concrete block rooms side by side. The front wall of one structure was lined with the Rhino Linings product and the other was left in its standard concrete state. A blast was produced in front of the structures simulating a terrorist’s car bomb.
During the blast, the Rhino protective coating was successful in preventing the lined wall from becoming lethal shrapnel. The blast completely demolished the unprotected structure sending lethal shrapnel everywhere within the interior of the structure. The Rhino lined wall flexed under the force of the blast but returned to vertical and remained intact and standing firm.
With the increased measures by Governments around the world to find effective ways to combat terrorism, Rhino Linings is proud to provide a solution that has the capability to protect soldiers, citizens and structural assets.
Rhino Linings provides a huge leap forward in anti-terrorism technology and one that will provide very immediate and tangible benefits for military personnel, equipment, embassies, courthouses and other structures where inhabitant protection is an issue.
