Shield: high-performance waterproofing paint for South African walls and roofs

Rhinoluxe Shield is a premium pure-acrylic waterproofing paint for exterior walls and roofs in South African conditions. It forms a flexible, gap-bridging barrier that moves with the building to stop leaks and hairline cracks, and is built to handle coastal salt air and intense inland sun. Shield is a decorative coating and a waterproofer in one, backed by a 10-year warranty.

Key Benefits

10-year warranty. Tested for long-term durability on walls and roofs.
Gap-bridging flexibility. The elastic film bridges craze and hairline cracks and resists their return.
Sea-breeze protection. UV-resistant resins withstand corrosive coastal salt air and strong sun.
High coverage. Spreads 6-8 m² per litre in a two-coat system.
Waterproof and decorative. One product seals and finishes the surface.

Technical Overview

Shield is a pure-acrylic elastomeric coating that cures to a continuous, flexible membrane. Applied at a dry film thickness of 45-50 microns per coat, it builds a dense barrier that resists water ingress while staying elastic enough to bridge movement cracks. Its UV-stable resins hold colour and integrity in coastal and high-exposure sites, so the waterproofing does not become brittle over time.

Technical Guidance

Apply Shield to a clean, sound surface: plastered exterior walls, high-humidity interior areas, tiled, concrete and fibre-cement roofs, and primed metal, wood or previously painted substrates. Prime bare or porous surfaces first, and apply two coats to reach the rated film thickness, letting the first dry before recoating. Reinforce cracks and joints where movement is expected.
