ACADEMIA

LINE-X Protective Coatings will be demonstrating at PDA's 2012 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, March 25-29. PDA, the Association for High Performance Elastomeric Technologies, promotes market awareness, understanding and acceptance of polyurea and other thick-film elastomeric technologies through the development and delivery of education programs, product standards, and recommendations for proper application and use with regard to safety and the environment.

During the four-day conference, PDA will offer courses for applicators, live demonstrations of spray techniques, informative speakers and breakout training sessions. The goal of the conference is to provide resources, education and support to a global network of leading companies specializing in polyurea and elastomeric technologies.

All live demonstrations will utilize LINE-X products including LINE-X Spray-On Truck Bedliner and other award winning innovations. These products have been featured on popular television shows Mythbusters and Inside West Coast Customs, and are used to protect tornado chase vehicles the Dominator, Dominator II and TWISTEX on Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers.
