SANTA ANA, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- LINE-X(R) Franchise Development
Corporation (LINE-X), widely-known for being the industry leader in truck bed
protection, is proud to announce its fifteen year anniversary.
"LINE-X's success in the last fifteen years has been three-fold," said
LINE-X CEO John Q. Wesley II. "First we have unbelievable franchisees that
really believe in the product and apply our coatings with great skill. Because
of their great work, our customer base continues to grow and we have a LINE-X
fan base that does not waver. Finally, our products withstand the test of time
due to our diligent corporate team. Their commitment to our brand can be seen
across the board and it makes me very proud to be a part of the LINE-X
family."
LINE-X specializes in spray elastomers, polyurethanes and polyureas that
are a fast cure, multipurpose, series of coatings designed for a wide range of
retail, commercial and industrial uses. They exhibit excellent adhesion to
most properly prepared surfaces and with its fast cure time, LINE-X can be
sprayed vertically and even overhead without running or dripping. Available in
every color imaginable, LINE-X contains no solvents, which means there are no
air pollutants or harmful environmental contaminates.
Since its inception, LINE-X has been applied to over 2.5 million trucks
and the company continues to strive to develop first-class products designed
to support the existing LINE-X spray-on bedliners, but also give their over
500 global franchisees an advantage over the competition. Such products
include LINE-X ReNew(TM), the first and only product in the industry to
completely resurface an entire bedliner repairing and restoring the bedliner
to its original condition; LINE-X XTRA(R), the only color composite coating
fortified with DuPont(TM) Kevlar(R); as well as superior equipment to make
application time easier, quicker and most importantly, aesthetically sound.
EXPANDING INTO NEW MARKETS
LINE-X launched its LINE-X(R) Industrial Coatings Division (LICD) in 1999
and has developed a full range of polyurea and polyurethane coatings that have
been extensively engineered and independently tested to ensure they provide
superior protection for virtually any properly prepared surface, including
metal, concrete, fiberglass and wood. LINE-X industrial coatings are perfect
for companies who are serious about protecting and prolonging the life of
their assets or seek long-term, often permanent solutions against abrasion,
bomb blast, chemical spillage, corrosion, environmental elements, impact and
workplace slippage. Due to their exceptional durability and quick application
turnaround time, LINE-X industrial coatings are becoming increasingly popular
throughout a wide range of commercial and industrial industries, including
construction, manufacturing, mining, material handling, marine,
municipal/outdoor facilities, petrochemical, plating, primary/secondary
containment, transportation and more.
In 2000, LINE-X was first to develop and launch a bomb blast coating,
PAXCON PX-2350, which has been recognized by the U.S. military and the defense
industry for its high levels of protection, and has been approved for
protection of the U.S. Pentagon, as well as other government, military and
private buildings around the globe. Late last year, LINE-X added PAXCON
PX-2100, a high-performance chemical formulation that protects against
spalling and fragmentation during a ballistic attack, to the LINE-X roster.
Both products have met and exceeded the testing requirements of several U.S.
Military and private agencies, such as PX-2350's 1999 Air Force Research
Laboratory test, which concluded that LINE-X was statistically shown to
outperform 27 other competitors in a series of tests that were designed to
identify the spray-on coating that could mitigate the effects of a bomb blast
on a building. Additionally, PAXCON PX-2100 was certified by H.P. White
Laboratory, Inc., one of the oldest and most respected ballistic and research
centers in the nation. Moreover, PX-2100 was also selected for anti-spalling
protection by MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle manufacturers,
the Pentagon's top military personnel protection initiative. To learn more
