RhinoBond
Enhance wind
uplift resistance while using fewer plates and fasteners with Sika Sarnafil’s RhinoBond system.
Sika
Sarnafil RhinoBond is an alternative attachment system for Sika Sarnafil roof membranes. The RhinoBond system eliminates membrane fastener penetration by welding the membrane directly to the
specially coated plates used to secure the insulation or hardboard to the deck. The result is a roofing system that uses fewer plates and fasteners while enhancing the wind uplift
resistance.

The RhinoBond system uses a patented
stand-up induction welding machine
to fuse the membrane to the plates. Simply place the machine above the plate, activate it for the required cycle (only a few seconds) and
then place a RhinoBond weighted magnet on top of the plate for a minimum of 60 seconds to assure a strong
bond. For a roof system requiring a 1-90 PSF rating, you will use ten fewer fasteners and plates for every
square installed when compared to a typical in-seam, mechanically-attached system using a 10 ft wide
membrane fastened 12 inch on center.
The RhinoBond system is ideally suited for attachment
to a structural
metal roof deck (using the grid pattern) as well as when re-roofing a metal building (using the purlin
attachment).
The RhinoBond system, when using the
grid pattern, distributes
the uplift load over a larger area than the typical in seam, linear fastening systems. This reduces the likelihood of point loading of the deck. It also allows for the flexibility of installing the roof membrane, as orientation of the deck is not
an issue (fastener rows must be perpendicular to the steel ribs in spot attached). The grid pattern
also minimizes sheet flutter.
With metal building re-roofing projects,
typically the roof consists of a light gauge metal panel, which does not provide adequate fastener pullout
values. The typical roofing option is to fasten the membrane into the structural purlins which are usually
spaced at 5 ft centers. This application usually requires the use of a special width membrane, or causes
substantial membrane waste. Using the RhinoBond plate system, the dimensions of the roof membrane are
no longer an issue. You can install the RhinoBond plate and Purlin fastener into the purlin at the rate required to meet
the uplift force. The standard 10 ft wide membrane is then placed over the attached substrate and induction
welded to the plates.
Availability
Sika
Sarnafil’s RhinoBond system will be available in late 2008. All specifications, details and data sheets will be available on the website under “Technical Data”
at that time.
Experience the difference that RhinoBond can make in roof
performance and your bottom line. Call your Sika Sarnafil regional technical sales person to schedule a demonstration.
