December 2024 – Premier, the UK’s exclusive stockist of Drytac products, is delighted to announce the launch of Polar Smooth 150 Air, the latest self-adhesive innovation in Drytac’s line of high-performance graphic solutions. This phthalate-free, printable matt white PVC film, designed for a wide range of surfaces and applications, offers exceptional ease of use, unmatched durability, and comes with a fire rating class 0 (BS 476 part 6 & 7) certification, ensuring it meets stringent fire safety standards.

Polar Smooth 150 Air sets itself apart with its bubble-free technology and robust 6 mil (150µ) thickness, eliminating the need for additional lamination and allowing for straightforward, dry application across various surfaces. With its permanent pressure-sensitive aqueous acrylic adhesive, paired with an air egress release liner, Polar Smooth 150 Air ensures that graphics are applied smoothly without bubbles or messy, wet installations—a particularly welcome feature for installations on glass and other traditionally challenging surfaces.

The film is compatible with eco-solvent, latex, and UV inks, ensuring versatility for print professionals across various industries. Its suitability for cold weather applications adds further value, making it a dependable choice for year-round projects.
