customers can rely on Drytac products for continued, safe performance. Drytac’s latest product launches in Europe include two new floor graphics films, meeting growing demand for non-slip, easy- to-apply solutions. Drytac Polar Floor PET 170 offers resistance to both scuffs and tears for the duration of short-term indoor applications without lamination. SpotOn SynTac Floor is one half of a two-part solution with Interlam EcoTex phthalate-free overlaminate, a new short-term graphics product developed with the environment in mind. Both have achieved anti-slip ratings while remaining simple to install and remove. Also new is Protac Antimicrobial, a laminating film that contains anti-microbial additives that protect surfaces against the growth of bacteria. It can be installed on top of printed graphics and on surfaces where hygiene is crucial, such as counters and control panels.
Several popular product lines have been improved and expanded. New SpotOn White M50 film offers 50% more opacity than standard SpotOn White, improving its performance for eye-catching window graphics and other applications where show-through would affect the design. The Drytac ReTac range has grown, with a new high-shine Gloss finish on ReTac Smooth 75 and ReTac Smooth 150. In addition, Drytac’s new series of application videos help customers get the most out of their Drytac products.
