ZoomFlex Aces a Challenging Test

The weather is chilly and so is the response of your client when you tell him that he will have to wait to get his parking lot sealed. He wants it NOW, despite your warnings about the weather.

That was the dilemma faced by Tony Champs in Raleigh, N.C. in December 2010. His customer owned a restaurant that had burned down and the restaurant was finally ready to reopen. The parking lot had to be in top condition to enhance the appearance of the new building.

The temperature was borderline at best and the sky was overcast - unfavorable conditions for quality sealcoating. So Champs took some advice from a friend. He invested in ZoomFlex from Professional Pavement Products (PPP). ZoomFlex is a premium sealer additive specially developed by and manufactured for PPP.

“I finished the job at noon and then returned about 4 p.m., I was really surprised - the lot was dry and looked great. It was a real shocker.”- Tony Champs

Part of PPP's Medallion Label premium Black Series offering of products, ZoomFlex is a high performance additive for sealer that provides unmatched accelerated dry time, wear-ability, flexibility, sand retention and adhesion to all types of pavement sealers.

“With ZoomFlex, properly diluted sealer will dry up to 50% faster so you can get traffic moving on the parking lot sooner...”- Brian Tebo

"Other sealer additives, even those sold as fast drying sealer additives, have little effect on diluted sealer,” said Brian Tebo, who provides operations development for Professional Pavement Products. “With ZoomFlex, properly diluted sealer will dry up to 50% faster so you can get traffic moving on the parking lot sooner, minimizing the disruption to the client's business."

Another ZoomFlex customer, Mike Spina of Miller Sealcoating and Striping in Orlando, said he offers ZoomFlex as an option on all his proposals. Spina was one of a handful of customers asked by PPP to help test the product when it first came out. Professional Pavement Products' managers recently visited one of Spina's first client sites during a training event in the area. At 18 months after application, the roadways in the neighborhood where ZoomFlex was applied still looked great (shown below).

“I get a lot of referrals and comments from that job, I highly recommend ZoomFlex to all my customers for its durability.”

“Our product is resilient, petroleum resistant, cohesive, color-fast and aggregate retaining,” said Tebo. “A tall order, but field and lab tests prove that it is the best sealer additive on the market.”
