AMAZING PRODUCT PRODUCES SKYROCKETING PROFITS LINE-X was developed as a highly durable, sprayable polyure-thane/polyurea coating that could be sprayed for protection using commercial-grade, high temp/high pressure plural spray equipment common in the polyurethane foam industry. After 10 years of research and experimentation, LINE-X Spray-On Truck Bedliner was brought to market in April 1993. The first application was the floor of a race car trailer; then it quickly progressed into protecting truck beds. The popularity for spray-on bedliners spread quickly. Now, more than a decade later, LINE-X has grown to become the largest franchised business in the automotive aftermarket industry in North America for truck bedliner protection. Currently, LINE-X has more than 500 locations worldwide. In 2005, the LINE-X brand was applied to more than 375,000 truck beds; and recently surpassed two million beds worldwide. In 2005, LINE-X retail sales were in excess of $160 million. LINE-X is the only bedliner protection company that develops its own specially formulated polymers, creating a product that creates a permanent bond to the truck’s bed, sealing out water and dirt. The franchise fee is $30,000.

LINE-X Spray-on Truck Bedliners was founded on April 2, 1993, combining specially manufactured spray polyurethane elastomers with state-of-the-art equipment and application processes. The exclusively formulated LINE-X Spray-On Truck Bedliner creates a permanent bond to a truck’s bed, providing a watertight seal that prevents rust and corrosion. LINE-X presently sets the industry standard for durability and toughness of a spray-on bedliner product, creating a non-skid, dent resistant and attractive surface with factory-like finish qualities.

LINE-X, the leader in truck bed protection, offers such product at-tributes as:
• Resistance to most common chemicals
• Molds to the exact shape of the truck bed for no lost cargo space
• Shock-absorbing qualities that dampen sound
• Textured finish
• Exceptional impact resistance
The LINE-X heritage dates back to 1982, when, as a family-owned business in Santa Ana, California, it was founded to formulate and distribute polyurethane systems. In particular, polyurethane foam.

The company’s mission, then as it is now, was its dedication and commitment to innovative technology and reliable chemistry. In addition, every aspect of the LINE-X production, from development to procurement of raw materials to the manufacturing process itself, is monitored to ensure the product meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.

The LINE-X product quickly gained greater market recognition and acceptance in 1990 when the United States Coast Guard accepted an application for use in lifeboats and other buoyant apparatus. Two years later, the United States Department of Agriculture approved two coatings to apply to surfaces coming into contact with meat and poultry food products. In 2002, LINE-X completed the first phase of its Bomb Blast Protective coating application at the Pentagon.

LINE-X products are actually a multi-purpose series of coatings that have exceptional adhesion and bonding to properly prepared surfaces, such as metal, fiberglass and wood. Their innovative physical properties have created a wide range of retail, commercial, industrial, agricultural and custom uses for LINE-X product line.

Various applications LINE-X dealers have done include:
• Construction—decks, foundations, retaining walls, floors, roofs
• Marine applications—boat hulls, boat decks, marine ramps, cargo holds.
• Farming—silos, feed containers, storage tanks, etc.
• Trailers—boats, horses, personal watercraft, work trailers, etc.
