Addison, IL - Zen-Tek Coatings, a professional refinishing coatings manufacturer built by refinishers for refinishers, is revolutionizing the refinishing market with a suite of advanced coating systems designed to solve longstanding performance and safety challenges in the bath and kitchen refinishing industry. With products such as Zenix, Synergy, Prime-X, and more, Zen-Tek Coatings brings professional installers a new standard of durability, usability, and safety without compromise.

"As professionals ourselves, we've seen how legacy products fall short - whether that's yellowing, cracking, limited adhesion, or hazardous chemicals," said John Venuti, Founder of Zen-Tek Coatings. "Zen-Tek was created to deliver coatings that are not only industrial-grade in performance, but safer to use, easier to apply, and engineered to drastically reduce callbacks. We build every product with the real needs of refinishing pros in mind."

Zenix - The Flagship Iso-Free Topcoat That Performs

At the core of the new product lineup is Zenix 300 System, a breakthrough isocyanate-free 2K topcoat that achieves professional-grade performance without the hazardous chemicals that have long defined traditional urethane products. Unlike other non-isocyanate coatings that yellow or crack over time, Zenix delivers a high-gloss finish (92+ gloss rating), 4H pencil hardness, and outstanding chemical resistance - all while reducing the respiratory risks associated with conventional coatings.

Zenix was formulated in direct response to refinisher demand for safer alternatives that don't sacrifice quality. The product's self-leveling chemistry also helps installers achieve consistent, streak-free results whether refinishing bathtubs, showers, tile walls, or countertops.

A Comprehensive Range of Professional Refinishing Solutions

Zen-Tek Coatings' full suite of products gives professionals a complete toolset for every stage of a refinishing project:

  • AdvanEtch - Micro-etch surface prep that promotes deep adhesion without over-etching.
  • Zen-Strip - Industrial-strength coating and paint remover engineered for stubborn finishes.
  • Prime-X - Fast-drying, high-build epoxy primer that minimizes runs and sagging.
  • WTR-Prime - A water based refinishing primer that delivers ultra-durable adhesion with low VOC.
  • Synergy - High-gloss, industrial acrylic topcoat optimized for fast flow and exceptional wear resistance.
  • WTR-Tek - Advanced water-based polyurethane clear coat system with minimal odor and high gloss.
  • Additives such as Anti-Microbial and Anti-Slip for enhanced functionality on high-use surfaces.

This lineup is designed to support professional refinishing on a wide range of bathroom and kitchen surfaces including tubs, tile, showers, sinks, countertops, cabinets, fiberglass, acrylic, porcelain, enamel, and more.

Solving Real Challenges for Refinishers

Zen-Tek's product development stems from decades of industry experience. Many existing products in the market suffer from performance issues such as yellowing, delamination, long cure times, and harmful chemical exposure that make them difficult - and unsafe - to use in occupied buildings or high-traffic commercial environments. Zen-Tek coatings, especially Zenix, are engineered to address these problems head-on:

  • Durable finishes that resist staining, scratching, and cracking.
  • Faster dry and cure times for increased productivity.
  • Safer chemistries that lower risks for applicators and customers.
  • Consistency and ease of use that reduce callbacks and training time.
