Zen-Tek's WTR-Tek Offers Safe Solution for Hospital and School Bathroom Renovations
illi News/10349391

ADDISON, Ill. - illiNews -- Zen-Tek Coatings, an Addison, Illinois-based manufacturer of professional refinishing coatings, is highlighting WTR-Tek, its water-based polyurethane topcoat, as a safer way to renovate bathrooms in hospitals, schools and other occupied facilities. These buildings cannot close restrooms for weeks, and fumes from conventional solvent-based coatings make renovations hard to schedule around patients, students and staff. WTR-Tek offers a low-odor, low-VOC way to restore tubs, showers, tile, sinks and fiberglass in place.

Traditional refinishing often relies on solvent-based topcoats that require heavy ventilation and can force nearby rooms or entire wings to be cleared. WTR-Tek is waterborne and produces minimal odor, making it well suited to sites where ventilation is limited, including hospitals, senior living communities, schools and apartment buildings. Refinishing existing fixtures also avoids the demolition, dust and downtime of full replacement.

WTR-Tek delivers a smooth, high-gloss finish with the moisture resistance and durability that high-use bathrooms demand. It is handle-dry in 45 to 75 minutes, allows light cleaning after 24 to 48 hours and fully cures in three to five days. Paired with WTR-Prime, Zen-Tek's water-based primer, it forms a fully water-based system.

"Hospitals and schools can't put their bathrooms on hold for a week of fumes and construction," said John Venuti, founder of Zen-Tek Coatings. "WTR-Tek lets contractors take on those jobs while still delivering the gloss and durability a high-traffic restroom needs."

Where hygiene is a priority, WTR-Tek can be combined with Zen-Tek's Anti-Microbial Additive, designed to inhibit mold, mildew and bacteria on coated surfaces.
