Tekon Universal Sciences Inc. Saves Public Transit Systems Money: Tekonn Keeps Fleets Looking Their Finest with Green Protective Treatment

Annaheim, CA, April 26, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Tekon Universal Sciences Inc. (Tekon US Inc.) is leading the way providing protective coatings to the transportation industry. Tekon’s coating and maintenance system improves the luster of paint, metal and glass and protects the surface from toxins. Tekon is the first choice for keeping fleets of busses or trains in excellent condition and looking better than new for: Big Blue Transit in Santa Monica, California, Omni Trans in San Bernadino, California, Long Beach Transit in Long Beach, California, and Altamont Commuter Express Trains in San Jose, California.  Tekon’s protective coatings restore glass and shine and protect metal with a hydrophobic surface that resists stains and corrosion. Tekon’s process is cost effective and time saving for transportation services who might not want to invest $50,000-60,000 to paint a train car, but do want to improve the look of the fleet for a substantially lower cost.

Long Beach Transit in Long Beach, California has been utilizing Tekon’s unique application and maintenance process since the late 90s. Long Beach Transit’s maintenance crew switched from chemical cleaning to Tekon’s chemically free engineered wash and rinse system and busses no longer appeared chalky. Soap tends to dull paint and finish. Tekon is implementing the process to bring back the luster of the original paint, giving the busses a freshly painted sheen. Tekon products leave no residue on the surface and are chemical free. Altamont Commuter Express in San Jose recently had paint restoration work done on their commuter trains with Tekon products.  The professional applicators and licensed dealers of Tekon products were Green Envirotek, with Darrel Smith overseeing the quality of the project.

Tekon has been testing to measure anti bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-mold properties on Big Blue busses in Santa Monica, California. Tekon representatives obtained swabs for lab testing the environment for bacteria and other toxins prior to the application of new Tekon coatings on Big Blue’s interior.  Professional Tekon applicators sanitized the busses to eradicate toxic or contagious germs. Tekon applicators also treated the interior with a nano coating that repels germs, bacteria, and viruses for up to one year. Tekon executives have agreed to test Big Blue after a certain time period has lapsed. The second swab will indicate the type and level of toxins that may or may not remain on the bus interior after the application and recommended maintenance process have been followed.

Tekon has been raising the bar in coating and treatment processes for public transit since the late 90s. With the assistance of professionally trained Tekon applicators, these systems are easy to implement and affordable.  Tekon’s environmentally friendly products can be used to reduce exposure to chemicals, and reduce the number of MSDS sheets, too. Tekon US is a member of the US Green Building Council, National Kitchen and Bath, and the Marble Institute of America.  Mark Carvahlo is Vice Preisdent of Tekon and he focuses on developing the company’s image and green building.  Bret Aiken is President of Tekon and he oversees sales and marketing. James Aiken, the CEO of Tekon, is pushing the envelop for green systems in sealing, protecting and cleaning.
