Drytac Polar Grip Air

Drytac has released its Polar Grip Air white polymeric self-adhesive vinyl with air release technology to markets outside of North America.

It was first rolled out in mid-2023, with the initial focus being on the North American market. However, following strong uptake over the past 18 months, Drytac will now make the product available to customers worldwide.

It is built using the same technology as Drytac Polar Grip but differs by offering easier installation using Drytac’s bubble-free adhesive technology.

The vinyl features a high-coat weight grey adhesive and allows users to permanently apply graphics onto many surfaces, including metal, plastic, wood, glass, brick and more.

Dennis Leblanc, senior product and business development manager, said: “We have had tremendous success with Polar Grip Air since it made its debut in North America back in the summer of 2023.

“We are looking forward to seeing how our customers in other markets worldwide use the material to produce more fantastic applications.”

When used with a Drytac matching overlaminate, Polar Grip Air creates long-lasting graphics, opening more opportunities for print service providers. It comes with a seven-year warranty for both indoor and outdoor applications and is compatible with eco-solvent, latex/resin, and UV printers.

Polar Grip Air is part of Drytac’s aptly named ‘Polar’ range of products, which are cold-weather install rated for temperatures as low as -20˚C (-4˚F).
