RIO-SHIELD PRIMER

RIO-SHIELD Primer is a 100% reactive, acrylic resin based on methyl-methacrylate (MMA) that cures in one hour. The product's low viscosity allows it to penetrate and reinforce concrete substrates. Applying RIO-SHIELD primer to properly prepared concrete is the first step to the installation of any RIO-SHIELD acrylic flooring system. RIO-SHIELD primer can also be applied to other substrates.

RIO-SHIELD Primer is designed to achieve a bond to concrete substrates that is greater than the strength of the concrete itself. This product can be used to seal and reinforce concrete surfaces but more often is used to anchor a RIO-SHIELD acrylic flooring system to a concrete substrate.

Chemically bonds concrete substrate to other RIO-SHIELD system components.
Low viscosity — penetrates and helps reinforce concrete substrates.
UV resistant.
Cures in one hour.
Cures at temperatures ranging from -15°F - 100°F.
100% reactive — VOC compliant.
On-site bond test indicates whether substrate preparation is adequate before system application.
Seamless repairability.
Compatible with moisture mitigation

RIO-SHIELD (I-COMP) PRIMER ADDITIVE

RIO-SHIELD I-Component is a urethane based additive designed for use only with RIO-SHIELD methyl-methacrylate (MMA) based primers. I-Component is required with all MMA based primers as it dramatically increases the ability to bond to all substrates. I-Component is an on-site additive, because it reduces the shelf life of MMA based primers significantly. I-Component should be added and mixed with MMA based primers immediately before adding BPO (Powder Hardener). In no case should the use of I-Component be considered a substitute for proper preparation of the substrate. Performing bond tests in several areas of every RIO-SHIELD installation is always necessary.

RIO-SHIELD OVERLAY RESIN

RIO-SHIELD Overlay Resin is a 100% reactive, acrylic resin based on methyl-methacrylate (MMA) that cures in one hour. Our Overlay Resin is designed as the base resin to create body coats in RIO-SHIELD acrylic flooring systems. System thickness typically ranges from 1/16" to 1/4" depending on the application technique and performance requirements of the system.

RIO-SHIELD Overlay Resin is most often applied as part of a self-leveling system, but can also be used as part of a roll-on system. In either case, RIO OVERLAY RESIN can be broadcast with colored quartz or colored flake. Self-leveling systems provide protection and longevity in heavy industrial environments where superior wear characteristics and durability are necessary. Roll-on systems may be used in a commercial or light industrial environment where resistance to impact and compressive strength are not required. For applications requiring an integral cove base, RIO OVERLAY RESIN can be mixed with fillers in a variety of combinations to meet system requirements or special needs.

RIO-SHIELD TOP COAT

RIO-SHIELD Topcoat is a 100% reactive, acrylic resin based on methyl-methacrylate (MMA) that cures in one hour. Our MMA topcoat is designed to be applied as the final layer of a RIO-SHIELD flooring system. RIO-SHIELD Topcoat has a low viscosity and provides a high degree of protection from mechanical abrasion, chemicals, and UV light. RIO-SHIELD Topcoat can be applied neat or as a solid color with pigment over a self-leveling system.

RIO-SHIELD Topcoat is most often applied neat over a RIO-SHIELD self-leveling (SL), colored quartz (CQ) or colored flake (CF) floor as the last coat of the system. It is typically applied in two coats @ 15-20 mils/coat. The first coat protects the entire system by locking in broadcast media, while the second coat provides the first line of defense against water, chemicals, UV light, and other contaminants.

Chemically bonds to other RIO-SHIELD system components
Low viscosity makes for easy application with a roller or brush.

How To Repair Damaged Concrete Floors in Factories

Keeping your concrete floors in excellent condition ensures operational efficiency, employee safety and establishment longevity. As these structures support the hefty daily operations of machinery, equipment and workers, they are prone to cracking and spalling from constant wear and tear. If you're looking for solutions for repairing damaged concrete floors in factories, keep reading.

How to Upgrade Your Automotive Plant Flooring Without Halting Production

Upgrading automotive plant flooring is crucial for maintaining a safe, efficient and productive work environment. The flooring in these facilities must withstand heavy machinery, chemical spills, and high traffic while also ensuring the safety of employees and the efficiency of operations.

However, the process of upgrading automotive plant flooring is daunting, especially when downtime or halting production is not an option. Removing existing flooring, preparing the base, installing new flooring, and allowing for curing time presents challenges and disrupts regular operations.

Automotive flooring must also have a high-gloss, reflective finish, so operators quickly identify gears, spills and hazards. Additionally, the need for battery charging areas for electric forklifts, and smooth surfaces where robots operate further complicates the process.

Read on to learn how to upgrade automotive plant flooring without halting production.

How To Protect Flooring in the Battery Charging Area of Your Manufacturing Facility

In busy manufacturing facilities, battery-charging areas are high-risk zones that often experience significant wear and tear due to chemical exposure, heavy equipment use and the demands of the industrial environment.

Protecting the floors in these areas is essential for maintaining safety, operational efficiency and compliance with workplace safety regulations. Without proper care and attention, floor damage leads to hazardous working conditions, costly repairs and operational downtime.

Learn how to protect floors in the battery-charging area of a manufacturing facility.

How To Achieve Slip-Resistant Flooring in Food Processing Plants

There are thousands of slip-and-fall accidents in various industries, including the food and beverage industry. According to the National Safety Council, slip-and-falls are among the most prevalent causes of accidents and days away from work, with over 674,100 cases between 2021 and 2022.

Among the industries where slips and falls occur with prevalence is the food processing industry. Food processing plants are hotbeds of moisture and grease, which often results in workers losing their footing.

Because surfaces in food processing plants become slippery over time, there's a growing need for slip-resistant flooring. This is where solutions like anti-slip floor coatings come in.

Easy to install and maintain, anti-slip flooring solutions result in fewer accidents and injuries. As a result, plants become safer and more productive, enabling food companies to raise productivity and their bottom lines.

Learn more about the power of slip-resistant flooring and how to implement them in your food processing plant.

Ensuring Your Food Processing Plant Flooring Meets Food Safety Standards

Food processing plants have stringent regulations about hygiene and product safety, and every aspect of the facility must meet these strict safety standards to ensure the quality and safety of food products.

Over time, a food processing plant's flooring can develop a number of issues, such as water seeping underneath the floor, rough texture and deterioration. Owners and operators often don't have the time to address the issue, which puts them in a problematic position with compliance authorities.

Offutt Air Force Base Maintenance Hangar Flooring Solution

Our Solution for the Offutt Air Force Base Maintenance Hangar Flooring

RIO Flooring Systems provides airplane hangar systems that are designed for aviation and aerospace operations. Presented with the challenge at Offutt AFB, RIO flooring experts delivered a solution to address their electrostatic concerns and enhance the safety of the hanger.

The RIO team proposed an electrostatic discharge (ESD) urethane flooring solution. Urethane offers superior resistance to abrasion and chemicals. This high-performance flooring would provide greater durability than typical coating options and deliver the enhanced safety needed for the moist hangar environment. The ESD flooring would protect both workers and Air Force equipment from shock. Leadership at Offutt AFB agreed to the proposed solution, and RIO installed the urethane-based solution in the 60,000 square-foot hangar.
