MMA (Methylmethacrylate) Products
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.

Compatible with moisture mitigation
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 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.
Chemically bonds to other RIO-SHIELD system components

Seamless Repair
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.

RIO-SIL PLUS is a chemically reactive, water-based solution of potassium-silicate with added siliconate. It chemically reacts within the concrete matrix of form additional calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H), filling pores and capillaries to create a dense, hardened surface. The siliconate component responds to polishing or wear by developing a satin sheen, resists black tire marks and adds hydrophobic characteristics.

RIO-SIL PLUS Li is a chemically reactive lithium silicate. It changes the chemical composition of surfaces filling the pores and capillaries of the concrete matrix with a hard dense gel. RIOSIL PLUS Li has lower viscosity than other siliceous hardeners, allowing it to penetrate deeper into concrete. RIOSIL PLUS Li does not require scrubbing to facilitate penetration this reduces labor costs. Unlike sodium or potassium silicates, RIOSIL PLUS Li is easily removed, it does not leave unsightly white salt deposits.

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.
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.
Case Studies
Merck Animal Health achieves significant long-term savings with RIO Flooring’s Level 4 cleanroom flooring solution that reduces the need for repairs, maintenance and replacement.
The Company
Merck Animal Health is a leading pharmaceutical company specializing in animal medicine. The company uses the power of leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world. For more than a century, Merck Animal Health has been at the forefront of research, introducing medicines, vaccines and innovative health solutions for the world’s most challenging diseases.
Situation
Merck Animal Health was expanding its operations with a new one-million-square-foot facility in De Soto, Kansas. The facility was dedicated to the manufacturing of vaccines and other high-value animal health products, requiring stringent cleanliness and durability standards.
The new facility demanded high-performance flooring and wall solutions that could meet the rigorous requirements of a Level 4 cleanroom environment. The primary concerns were ensuring that the surfaces were seamless, sterile, and resistant to both chemical and physical wear.
Merck Animal Health needed a solution that would provide long-term durability, minimize maintenance, and support the stringent cleanliness standards required for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Traditional options like Italian tile and Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic board presented challenges, such as grout lines and the risk of water penetration, which were unsuitable for the cleanroom environment.
Cleanroom Flooring Solution
Merck Animal Health selected RIO Flooring Systems to provide a comprehensive flooring and wall coating solution for the new facility. Leveraging our experience and close collaboration with the project’s architects and general contractors from the early stages, RIO Flooring delivered a tailored solution that exceeded Merck Animal Health’s expectations.
Leading food retailer reduces downtime, minimizes lost sales and improves safety by hiring RIO Flooring to re-surface floors in hundreds of its food-preparation areas nationwide.
The Company
Our customer is a US nationwide retailer with over 600 stores. Each store features multiple food-preparation areas, including bakeries, meat-prep areas, milk coolers, and food courts.
The Situation
The retailer faced significant wear and tear on their floors. These areas undergo constant use, with heavy equipment, carts, and trolleys causing the concrete to become porous, slippery, and difficult to clean. This not only posed a safety risk, but also affected operational efficiency.
