RhinoBond® provides an alternative to narrower panels. The system relies on induction welding and specially coated membrane plates fastened to the roof assembly and later heat-welded to the underside of the membrane. It achieves an FM I-90 rating in the field, while requiring 30 percent fewer fasteners per square. A patented stand-up tool is included in the system, in which a single worker places the unit above a plate and activates the electromagnetic pulse. Typical weld time is five seconds per plate. An LED display provides detailed job information. The system is designed for metal-roof retrofits.
