RustOx is a tough, durable, paint-over-rust coating. RustOx dries quickly and provides years of protection against further degradation and rust bleed-through.

RustOx is a single-component, water-based, and low VOC formulation that can be applied at both on and offsite locations, making it one of the most cost-effective solutions available.

RustOx can be rolled, brushed, and even sprayed.

RustOx stops rust in its tracks and provides years of corrosion protection.

RustOx is unlike any other corrosion coating on the market. On rusted surfaces, RustOx requires no priming. Simply remove loose rust scale and dust, then apply with ordinary paint equipment.  Bare metal surfaces require a primer coat.  Cleanup is easy with water.

RustOx is currently available in a one-gallon size. RustOx tints to virtually any color when you add latex paint (one quart) in your color choice. Please note: RustOx’s formulation may effect the final color by adding a light grey tint. For example, a white paint will produce a very light grey as depicted in the above right picture.

Estimated life: 10+ years when properly applied.

Coverage: 2 coats – 200 square feet; 1 coat – 400 square feet.  Two coats required.

Sold in one gallon containers.

A Concrete Cleaner that Simplifies.

Stop spending countless hours with a pressure washer.  End the dangerous task of cleaning and etching concrete with acid.  Encore’s TripleCrown Concrete Cleaner is a one-step clean & etch product that simplifies the arduous task of cleaning concrete.

It’s Safe.

Whether you’re preparing concrete for an Encore coating or just wanting to “brighten up the place”, TripleCrown is the answer.  TripleCrown is a water-based cleaner that uses salt as the main cleaning and etching agent – so it’s much safer than acid.  

It’s easy to apply.

Apply TripleCrown with a low-pressure, hand pump sprayer, allow it to sit for 3 or 4 hours, and rinse with a garden hose and spray attachment.  Watch how decades of dirt and grime simply wash away, leaving behind the bright concrete surface that you haven’t seen in awhile.

It does the work while you tend to other things.

TripleCrown’s effervescent action penetrates deep into concrete, safely removing dirt, alkali, grease, and grime.  TripleCrown does in a few hours, what it would take you and a pressure washer an entire day to do.  Plus, while TripleCrown is doing the work, you can be enjoying your time or dealing with other tasks.  Can’t  find the time to rinse TripleCrown off?  That’s okay, too. Let it dry. TripleCrown can be rinsed off days later and still produce the same great results!

The fine print.

TripleCrown will etch glass and ceramic tile.  Do not allow TripleCrown to get on these surfaces unless you are trying to etch them.  The effect is considered permanent.

TripleCrown is sold in one gallon containers and each container treats between 200 and 250 square feet.

TripleCrown contains salt, which can hurt grass and plants.  Use an abundance of water to rinse TripleCrown in order to dilute the solution and protect vegetation.

TripleCrown can be used to clean outdoor patios, pool decks, sidewalks, driveways, and garage floors.  TripleCrown  removes stubborn oil and grease stains from garage floors.  Allow additional time for TripleCrown to  work on stubborn stains.

“If the walk from your chair to your pool looks more like a sprint, then you need this product!”

We were looking for the perfect product to redo our pool deck.  Bids were coming in at about $25k – $30k which was a budget-buster for us. When we were presented with the new product Cool! by Encore, we couldn’t believe the price AND that it was exactly what we were looking for.  Our owners were pleased with both the look of the product and that it was reasonably priced.

S.Kinser, Corbin Crossing Apartment Homes

Cool™ deck coating works as advertised. Not only did it make our old concrete pool deck look much better, it is also comfortable to walk on in hot weather.  It was 103 degrees June 30, 2012 in direct sunlight and I was able to walk on the pool deck with no concern about burning my feet.  The HOA board has had only praise from our neighbors on the look of the pool deck and comfort to their feet on these hot Georgia summer days.

Cool™ has been proven to reduce heat buildup by up to 38% or more!

Cool™ can be tinted to any color by adding one gallon of exterior acrylic (water-based) paint in your color choice to the kit.  An unlimited possibility of colors allows you to express your creativity and blend your pool deck into your environment.  

Cool tints to any color imaginable by adding a gallon of acrylic paint to the kit.

Cool can be applied as a decorative coating too. This deck has the look of large travertine tile and it still stays cool.

Cool™ is Clean.

Unlike most pool deck coatings, Cool™ doesn’t rely on a profile of crevices and cavities to stay cool, so there’s nowhere for dirt and unsanitary lotions to reside for weeks and sometimes months. Cool’s™ uniform, skid-resistant surface is easily cleaned with soap and water so your pool deck is easy to maintain.

Cool™ is Durable.

Cool tints to any color when you add one gallon of acrylic paint to the 5 gallon kit.

Cool™ chemistry develops a strong, molecular bond with the concrete, insuring against peeling and chipping. Cool™ will also repair concrete, filling in cracks up to 1/8″ and sealing them permanently. When it’s time, Cool™ can withstand a rigorous pressure washing long after other coatings would have begun to peel or chip when subjected to the same conditions.

Cool™ is Safe.

Safety around pool areas is a top priority for property owners. Achieving the perfect balance between comfort and safety is a difficult task for pool coatings. Everyone wants to have a safe, skid-resistant pool deck coating, but too much skid-resistance could be a bad thing.  Cool’s subtle texture is very comfortable, and still meets and exceeds commercial (ADA) safety requirements for skid-resistance – even when it’s wet.  

Cool™ is Affordable.  

Given the benefits, you’d expect Cool™ to be considerably more expensive than other options, but it’s not. It’s actually the most affordable – especially if you consider it’s superior service life. Depending on the condition of your concrete deck, all materials necessary to complete the job will typically average  $1.20 per square foot. Your investment is only pennies per square foot when spread over the service life!

Cool™ is Smart.

Atlanta, GA

Add it all up and Cool™ is the best overall choice when it comes to solving the issue of hot concrete. Cool™ is tinted to any color by simply adding one gallon of exterior acrylic paint to the 5 gallon kit, so  your decorative options are endless!

Cool™ can be rolled on with ordinary paint equipment or, if desired, can be sprayed and trowled to produce an architectural finish.  In any case, Cool™ dries to produce a hard, durable coating that will provide decades of service.

When you choose Cool™, your decision is backed by a Lifetime Warranty – the best in the business.  Where other pool deck coatings offer limited features and benefits, Cool™ provides every feature and benefit on your list.  Since applying Cool™ is no more than a 1.5 day process in most cases, why not act now?

In minutes, years of aging is reversed and your composite deck is restored to like-new condition. Bravo is a revolutionary micro-polymer protectant designed for use on aging composite decks.

Here’s how it works: Bravo is a low VOC (environmentally-friendly), water-based chemistry that you apply with a common hand-pump sprayer.  The wood fiber on the surface of the composite deck will absorb Bravo on contact.  When it dries, the synthetic micro-particles are left behind – within the wood fiber.  Essentially, Bravo “plasticizes” the fiber.  Like every living organism, mold colonizes near available food sources.  Take away the food source and the organisms leave.

But Bravo doesn’t stop there. Bravo is a blend of various polymers and one of those polymers helps revive the composite material to its original color. Now, your old greyed-out composite deck can look new again!

Typical coverage: 175-200 square feet per gallon (2 coats required).

Application: Bravo is applied with a brush, roller, or hand-pump sprayer. Surfaces must be clean and free from mold discoloration and dirt.

How long will Bravo last?

Bravo may need to be applied annually in high-use residential settings.  In commercial applications where there could be high levels of foot-traffic, Bravo may require periodic re-applications.  This program can be easily implemented into existing maintenance schedules.

Preventing mold on composite decking has never been easier.  Bravo beautifies your outdoor living space by restoring composite decking to near-original condition.

Welcome to the website that the big paint companies didn’t want you to find.  Each year, these companies make millions of dollars selling paint to homeowners who are having to repaint.  The fact is, there’s a way to create a lifetime paint, but why would paint companies offer it when we’re conditioned to believe that paint only lasts for 5-7 years?  The practice is called “planned obsolescence” and you see it everywhere – not just in the paint industry.

Since 1999, we’ve been selling POLYMATRx, a proprietary blend of resins that super-charge an average gallon of paint. In fact, homes and buildings that were painted over 30 years ago with this formula have not been repainted.  That’s amazing, especially when you consider the climate that these structures are in – South Florida.

Today, our customers are property owners across the World who are tired of the 5-7 year repainting ritual.  They have ended their paint maintenance by making the switch to POLYMATRx.

What can POLYMATRx be used on?

POLYMATRx can be used on wood siding, fiber cement board products (made by companies like Hardie, Nichiha,LP, Certainteed, etc.), concrete, brick, vinyl, and fiberglass.

Why Does Paint Fail?

Did you know that the siding on your home actually moves? It does. Siding, regardless of type, will expand and contract during changing weather. It’s difficult to observe, but the effects are obvious and costly. Most home siding is now painted with acrylic (or latex) paint. Acrylic paint has come a long way since its introduction, but like any paint, it has limitations that are by design.  Most paints that you see today are filled with cheap fillers that make them brittle over time.

For the first few years of service, acrylic paint is fairly elastic, but as it ages, it loses its elasticity. When this happens, it can no longer move during the expansion & contraction cycles and it begins to crack. Moisture enters through the crack, dwelling between the paint and the siding, causing more expansion & contraction. The paint continues to crack and this cycle continues until the paint is peeling. At this point, the old paint has to be removed and a new coat applied. This is the expensive life cycle of paint. But now you can end the paint maintenance cycle with POLYMATRx!

End Paint Maintenance Now.

Express a lasting creativity with POLYMATRx!  From home maintenance to artistic endeavors, POLYMATRx keeps paint flexible and its color vibrant for decades.

Simply add one quart of POLYMATRx to a gallon of water-based (acrylic/latex) paint, mix, and apply.  The result will be a long-lasting elastomeric coating that expands and contracts with your home’s siding for years. Based on our testing, POLYMATRx can increase the elasticity of paint between 400 & 700%. Since no siding material moves to this extent, POLYMATRx is never pushed to its “snapping point”. In the years that we’ve been selling POLYMATRx, we’ve never had a warranty claim, a product return, or a single complaint. In fact, customers send us their positive comments and photos of their work. POLYMATRx has been a pure joy to sell!

Will POLYMATRx change the color of my paint?

No.  The unique POLYMATRx blend enhances paint pigments and maintains your color selection.

POLYMATRx Extends Color Life As Well.

Are you having problems with your paint retaining it’s color? Is your paint fading because of the environment it’s in? If paint fade is your problem, then POLYMATRx is your solution. POLYMATRx is a blend of durable acrylic co-polymers. This polymer formulation allows acrylic paint to maintain its color for years. And speaking of color, POLYMATRx doesn’t affect or change the color of your paint.

How POLYMATRx Works.

You choose the color of paint that you want. Buy one gallon of interior/exterior acrylic paint in that color. Add one quart of POLYMATRx to that gallon of paint. Mix and apply.

Does POLYMATRx make it harder to apply the paint?

No.  In fact, paint that has been modified with POLYMATRx is easier to spray, brush, and roll.  Professional painters continually offer positive feedback on the ease of use and performance of POLYMATRx.

What is the warranty on POLYMATRx?

We are confident that you will be completely satisfied with your decision to use POLYMATRx. We offer a full 100% money-back guarantee if you aren’t completely satisfied with your purchase.  We guarantee this for as long as you own your home.

POLYMATRx is the closest product you’ll find to a permanent paint option.  With POLYMATRx, you’ll skip your next few paint jobs and save thousands of dollars in doing so.
