About Line-X Industrial Coatings
LINE-X was invented by Claudio Burtin, a principle in LINE-X. Mr. Burtin's goal was to develop a highly durable, spray-able, polyurethane/polyurea coating that could be sprayed using commercial grade high temp/high pressure, plural spray equipment common to the polyurethane foam industry. After almost 10 years of research and experimentation LINE-X was born. When he first coated the floor of a racecar trailer, it gained instant popularity. Fifteen years later, LINE-X has grown to become one of the largest franchised businesses in the automotive after-market industry and the leading spray-on bedliner company in the United States. Currently, LINE-X has over 500 locations in the U.S. and Canada, spraying over 20,000 truck beds a month.
More than bedliners - The LINE-X brand has rapidly expanded into a broad array of commercial and industrial applications. From coating ballistic body armor worn by U.S. troops overseas and machinegun mounts on Humvees, to secondary containment in a variety of industrial applications, the LINE-X material has proven very versatile. It is widely distributed and applied throughout the industrial community.
The patented LINE-X PAXCON formula has been demonstrated in applications such as bomb blast protection for concrete buildings and trailers for the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and Army Corps of Engineers. This product has been applied to the walls of several high profile buildings. Similarly, LINE-X has been demonstrated as a non-skid surface on U.S. Navy Submarines.
LINE-X has clearly led a revolution in the coatings industry and is poised for future growth in both the spray-on bedliner markets and other commercial/industrial applications.
