According to Drytac, Polar Street FX was developed to adhere securely to surfaces including concrete, brick and asphalt and has a high-traffic outdoor rating of 12 months. It can be run through eco-solvent, solvent, latex and UV printers. “There is a huge market for floor graphics, and we expect that to continue for some months,” said Drytac Global Product Manager – Shaun Holdom while noting further that; “It’s essential for any print businesses offering this application to provide graphics that are safe and durable, however urgent the timeframe.”
FREE DOWNLOAD OF SOCIAL DISTANCING SIGNS GUIDE

As more businesses open to the public and staff, Drytac has released a guide on using social distancing graphics safely on walls, windows and floors.
Drytac in a statement said that the newly compiled, free to download guide was to show how signs and graphics can be used effectively and safely to inform and provide guidance to people in accordance with government guidelines; “As lockdown restrictions are eased and we transition to a new normal, businesses are finding that floor graphics, wall displays and window signs are essential for non-verbal communication. Graphics can convey safety information such as social distancing, hand washing guidance and queuing systems, and to alert customers about updated services or opening hours. As we enter uncharted territory, best practices remain essential for businesses to ensure their legal obligations are met and people are kept safe”.
Drytac’s new guide, Open, Innovating, Moving Forward, is intended to help retailers and installers to choose the correct graphics solutions that meet these requirements. It outlines what to look for – from fire ratings to slip ratings to FDA approvals – and lists Drytac’s products that may be suitable for relevant applications. These are categorised into window graphic solutions, one-part and two-part floor graphic solutions, writable media, wall graphic products and antimicrobial films.
The free-to-download guide is both easy to use and interactive: clicking on a product listed in the guide will open the associated Drytac webpage, providing more details, datasheets and application videos.
“We’re seeing more short-term graphics than ever before and it’s absolutely essential that they are safe and legal for their specific environments,” says Shaun Holdom, Global Product Manager for Drytac. “Our new guide will help businesses make the right decision when choosing and installing informative graphics.”
Though, there’s no Africa nor Asia specific guide, you can either download America or UK guide or both of the Open, Innovating, Moving Forward which is available to download for free now. Simply click https://www.drytac.com/
