The first step to applying a coating to any surface is getting it clean. When you need a heavy duty “all inclusive” cleaner for floors and other surfaces, the combination of K7 Cleaner and J3 Deactivating powder can’t be beat. For floors that may have been etched or cleaned with acid, J3 Deactivating powder does a great job neutralizing acids and other compounds. Available in either a resealable 14oz bag or plastic jar.
The K7 Degreaser is non-toxic but designed to dissolve the toughest grease from floors, clothes, dishes, counters, engines, etc. It actually emulsifies the grease (breaks it up) and then suspends it in the solution so when you rinse the surface the grease and oil are rinsed away and not left to form a film. Available in 1 gallon containers.
For tough cleaning jobs put about 3″ of hot water in a pail, add about 16 ounces of K7 Degreaser and 3 ounces of the J3 Deactivating powder to create a super heavy duty cleaner. When the J3 and the K7 are combined you won’t find a more effective cleaner.
Why do 99% of floor coatings fail? You sand, strip, clean, bead blast, soda blast, diamond grind and even use muriatic acid. The floor sill flakes, chips, sticks to your tires, stains, etc. Whether you use epoxy paint, polymer coating, or even acrylic coatings, they all begin to fail in as little as three to six months, some times even sooner. When everything fails, what can you do?
Well, Vortex™ & Granitex™ coatings have great news. Everything depends on your prep work. Even when you clean, sand, strip, and etch the floor, there is still something missing. Super Sealer™ is an exclusive patented product only from the Vortex™ company & only for Vortex™ dealers.
Here is how Super Sealer™ works. Once the floor or other surface has been properly cleaned, you mix together the Super Sealer™ two part mix then roll it on with a standard ⅜” nap roller. This will soak into the concrete and penetrate deep into the capillary network within the concrete. As the Super Sealer™ starts to cure by its thermal conducting process, it will expand into the pores of the concrete, giving it a strong chemical & mechanical bond. After twenty-four hours of cure time, the Super Sealer™ can be coated with either of our patented Vortex™ or Granitex™ coatings which become chemically bonded to the Super Sealer™.
Looking for a concrete floor coating for your garage floor? The first thing that comes to many people’s minds when they are looking for a garage floor covering is some type of an epoxy floor. At first, epoxy floor paint seems like a very economical solution for a floor coating, but if you come back a couple years later (sometimes even a year later). You will see that your garage floor finish is now cracking, flaking and/or pealing. To keep your floor looking good, you will have to recoat the floor several times.
Granitex is an incredible long term solution for garage floor coating that will outlast paints & epoxies. Over the life of this product, it will cost you much less in material and labor to have an incredible looking floor. Granitex is great for commercial flooring situations such as showroom floors, studios or car washes, as well as an industrial coating where chemical resistance is key. Imagine running a maintenance bay or machine shop and not worrying about another concrete stain with Granitex’s incredible stain resistance.
Looking for a liner to keep your truck bed protected? How do you know what is really going to give you the best possible protection? Let’s look at what you are really putting into your truck. At the first look, a drop in liner seems like a good solid sheet of plastic armor for your truck. This will provide considerable protection for your truck bed from all of the abuse it’s going to face through its life, but there is a down side.
The down side is that the liner itself turns into the ultimate offender in the end. Vibrations from regular driving will rub the liner against the truck bed and wear the paint off of the bed. The liner also can trap moisture against the metal which is now worn bare and cause rust. You end up with a scratched up & worn out looking bed that may have seen more harm that protection from the liner which was put in with the best of intentions.
With the combination of Granitex coatings and faux flakes, there are virtually no limits to what you can do. Vortex & Granitex both have properties that make them incredible solutions for virtually any surface, but that is only the beginning. With over 200 colors to choose from and 14 combinations of premixed flakes that are available in either coarse or fine sizes, you can make each project really stand out by doing any design you can imagine.
In organic chemistry, compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen are divided into two classes: aromatic & aliphatic. In aliphatic compounds, carbon atoms can be joined together in straight chains, branched chains, or non-aromatic rings which hold the carbon with single, double, or triple bonds. Aromatic compounds contain benzene rings or similar rings of atoms.
Polyurethane polymers are made up of isocyanates with two or more functional groups. Aromatically linked isocyanate groups are much more reactive than aliphatic groups but are much more affordable. This in one of the main reasons aliphatic isocyanates are only used in the final product when special properties such as high UV stability are required.
Most polyurethanes that use aromatic compounds interact with light and will discolor over time. Yellowing is the most common the result, although many compounds have structural breakdown as well. Granitex™ uses aliphatic isocyanates to produce a light stable coating that can withstand years of direct sunlight without discoloring or weakening.
The first broadcast of the Vortex & Granitex sponsorship for the World of Trucks show “Truck Pro’s” was brilliantly done. It aired Monday, July 14th, at 5:00pm (EST), 9:30pm (EST) and 1:30am (EST). A full 6+ minutes of the show was dedicated to the Granitex application also showing Vortex applications as well. Thanks to everyone that helped make it possible by contributing to this special presentation. It will appear again at or near the end of July. It will be shown three more times as well as two TV commercials on Vortex during the same program.
Look for the TV Show on the Outdoor Channel called “World of Trucks.” with thirteen episodes that will each get two repeats. That’s a total of thirty-nine episodes that will be airing.

Everyone is talking about VORTEX™! Why? What is it about VORTEX™ that makes it the #1 choice in spray-on liners?
It is simply this:
The VORTEX™ coating system is a blend of the best of both worlds, Polyurethane and Polyurea. VORTEX™ is the result of years of research and development with these two amazing materials.
Polyurethanes are known for their superior durability and chemical resistance factor. They have the elasticity of rubber and the tough durability of metal, offering high abraision and tear resistance. They are oil and solvent resistant, have a high load bearing capacity, are weather resistant as well as heat and cold resistant.
Polyurea is a remarkable coating product with many qualities. It’s waterproof, seamless and has excellent bonding strength and sustainability. It is weather tolerant, has low permeability, is flexable and resists thermal shock.
VORTEX™ is the result of the combination of these two materials to create the amazing VORTEX™ spray-on coating system. VORTEX™ is the #1 choice because it combines the best materials to provide a truly remarkable product. VORTEX™, nothing else even comes close!
