New Products / Trimaco Aqua Shield Line | Reusable Floor Protection

January 8, 2025

Aqua Shield is one of Trimaco’s most popular reusable floor protection products. As the demand for heavy duty surface protection continues to grow within various industries, Trimaco will continue to create and deliver products.

There are quite a few options to choose from within the Aqua Shield family, so we wanted to take the time to compare each option in order for you to choose the product that best fits your job’s needs.

The Tried & True, Aqua Shield

The original and most familiar of the family, this heavy duty roll exhibits all the desired features and benefits of a high quality, reusable surface protector.

• Leak Proof to keep your surfaces protected from paint and water
• Slip Resistant to ensure a safe work environment
• Dust Free properties to maintain proper air quality on areas such as construction sites, healthcare facilities and data centers
• Flame Retardant to control potential fires

The blue rolls are available in a variety of thicknesses and sizes to meet the needs of your job:

10 mil: Great for countertops, raised surfaces, walls and low foot traffic areas
25 mil: Ideal for medium traffic areas, and can withstand materials such as ladders, carts and paint sprayers
40 mil: The thickest option can withstand heavy machinery such as forklifts and high traffic areas that need long lasting protection

Aqua Shield Non-FR

Although not flame retardant, Aqua Shield Non-DR rolls are still dust-free, leak resistant, slip resistant and reusable. Similar to the original Aqua Shield, the teal green rolls are also available in 10mil, 25mil and 40mil options to stand up to any needs on your jobsite. Ideal for surface or floor protection during construction, when FR materials are not required or a concern.

NEW 70 Mil Non-FR Aqua Shield Sheets

The newest addition to the Aqua Shield family is the 70 Mil Non-FR Aqua Shield Sheets. These sheets measure 4′ x 8′ and are 70 mils thick. Temporary surface protection sheets are only 10.8 pounds each, making them easy to handle and seam together using Aqua Shield’s seam tape. The 70 mil thickness is strong enough to withstand heavy machinery, including forklifts and scissor lifts. The properties are the same as the non-FR surface protector, providing dust, leak, and slip protection, making it great for long-term projects.

Aqua Shield 70 mil sheets are perfect for commercial construction projects. Their dust-free properties make them especially suitable for data centers, ensuring a clean environment. Surface protection sheets are also ideal for use as outdoor pathways. They are durable enough to endure the elements and flexible enough to adapt to uneven surfaces like rocks and rough terrain.

Aqua Shield, Spray Booth Edition

Looking for the perfect surface protector inside your spray booth? No need to look any further! Trimaco’s Aqua Shield Spray Booth Edition is 10 mil thick and provides leakproof, dust-free, anti-static, FR protection. The neutral white color provides better visibility so the painter can eliminate the risk of too many coats or a tainted finish.

The lightweight rolls are easy to work with and install. Keep in the spray booth for as long as needed or as long as color stays white. Once finished, recycle in accordance with your local recycling program.

Aqua Shield Seam Tape

Not a surface protector, but an important accessory nonetheless. Trimaco’s Aqua Shield Seam Tape can be used for every type of Aqua Shield. Seam tape is designed with PE-coated cloth backing with a natural rubber-based aggressive adhesive to keep seams tight and sealed. Only apply Seam tape to seam. Explore less aggressive tapes to secure the perimeter of the surface protector to the floor. As always, when taping surface protectors to the floor, test in an inconspicuous area to avoid floor damage.

The blue tape is durable, tearable and makes installing Aqua Shield easy. *Apply seam tape only on seams and not directly onto floors. Aqua Shield Seam Tape is not Flame Retardant.
