ROOFTOP SAFETY

In addition to the safety instructions in this manual, OMG Roofing Products recommends that all roof top workers follow the safety

guidelines outlined in the OSHA booklet called "Protecting Roofing Workers" available at

www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3755.pdf

and or EU-OSHA “Directive 92/57/EEC - Temporary or mobile construction sites,” as applicable.

INTRODUCING THE RHINOBOND

SYSTEM

Congratulations!

The RhinoBond System is one of the industry’s most advanced fastening systems for

installing thermoplastic membrane roofing and, in Europe only, “approved” clean EPDM membrane*.

RhinoBond is a portable, easy-to-use, system that secures membrane to roofing substrates using micropro-

cessor-controlled induction welding.
Roofing installed this way has

several benefits:

• Fewer Fasteners --

RhinoBond requires 25-50% fewer fasteners vs. mechanical attachment to meet FM

1-90 and Eurocode National wind uplift requirements.

• Zero Penetrations –

The fasteners and plates used are all installed under the membrane, so with

RhinoBond there are no membrane penetrations or potential points of entry for moisture.

• Less Seaming –

RhinoBond does not require any half-sheets, just full width membrane everywhere. This

can eliminate up to 30% of the seams when compared to a traditional mechanically attached system.

• Superior Wind Performance –

The RhinoBond System has higher wind uplift resistance with fewer

fasteners and fewer seams when compared to mechanically attached roofs.
The RhinoBond system uses powerful induction technology to create a strong bond between the roofing

membrane and fastening plates. The technology that makes this possible, SINCH

Technology, is a compact

microprocessor-controlled electromagnetic induction bonding process. Today, this rugged technology is being

used to revolutionize industrial and consumer applications.
While RhinoBond is a safe, tested tool, we caution you to be sure that every member of your crew has a

thorough understanding of the RhinoBond System before attempting to use it. Read, understand and follow

all instructions.

Congratulations on your new purchase.

We look forward to your feedback. Please send us your

comments and suggestions at any time.
