From hospital renovations to hotel bathroom upgrades, our water based urethane clear coat meets the highest standards for effectiveness, safety, and versatility.

A Water-Based Refinishing Kit You’ll Be Proud to Use

Our water based polyurethane can be applied by rolling or spraying without adding water or other additives, adapting to your specific project requirements. This versatility makes WTR-Tek™ the ideal choice for everything from bathtub paint applications to commercial refinishing projects like ceramic tile coating in high-traffic environments.

WTR-Tek establishes a new standard for safety in refinishing coatings by eliminating harsh chemicals and solvents. Our exclusive water based formulation delivers professional-grade performance without the respiratory hazards associated with traditional urethane systems.

With applying water based polyurethane becoming increasingly popular in commercial settings, our formula offers significant advantages. WTR-Tek can be recoated in as little as 30 minutes, dramatically accelerating project completion compared to conventional methods. This exceptional efficiency enables professionals to process more items per day while reducing labor costs and facility downtime.

Beyond standard applications, WTR-Tek excels as a specialized coating for various bathroom surfaces. The same high-performance chemistry that makes it ideal for bathtub reglazing kit applications also makes it perfect for shower and tub paint projects without damaging underlying materials.

The breakthrough chemistry of our water based polyurethane penetrates evenly and self-levels for an exceptionally smooth finish. WTR-Tek's unique formulation delivers outstanding gloss retention and durability that rivals solvent-based systems. This specialized technology makes bathtub refinishing and shower tile paint applications remarkably straightforward.

The fully compliant VOC formulation (<100 g/L) and virtually odorless application process reflect Zen-Tek's commitment to environmental responsibility. Our water based refinishing coating achieves maximum effectiveness while minimizing ecological impact, allowing professionals to meet stringent environmental regulations without compromising performance.
