Accurately locating RhinoBond plates beneath the membrane is a routine but time-sensitive step that can affect both installation speed and quality. OMG Roofing Products is introducing a new tool that aims to help in that process.

The RhinoMark Plate Marking System helps roofing crews quickly identify and mark the center of RhinoBond plates before welding.

According to the manufacturer, the tool creates a visible reference point on the membrane surface, allowing installers to align the RhinoBond welder more precisely over each plate. 

This reduces the need for repositioning and helps prevent missed welds.

“By using the RhinoMark system to mark plates, roofers can more accurately place tools for welding and cooling providing the highest quality work possible and focus on doing what they do best - which is building great roofs,” said Matthew Lavallee, Sr. Product Manager for RhinoBond® at OMG Roofing Products.

OMG Products promises that for crews working across large roof areas, the tool could lead to increased productivity and more uniform results.

The tool is operated from a standing position, which may help reduce installer fatigue. It uses magnetic guides to center over plates and includes a mechanism that prevents marking unless the tool is properly aligned, reducing the risk of misplaced marks and rework.

According to the manufacturer, the precision mark lasts between 7 and 30 days.

The RhinoMark product will be available for purchase in the following configurations: 

• RhinoMark Single Pack – One Tool, and One Refill 
• RhinoMark Multi-Pack – Four Tools, Six Refills, and One Carry Case
