Drytac recommends adhesion test while choosing floor media

Drytac has made a statement on ensuring a floor graphic product’s suitability for its intended location on any surface. In this, the company recommends an adhesion test before proceeding or choosing a floor media. No one wants to spend time and money on a project that ends in failure and this is especially important with floor graphics. Loss of adhesion can pose a serious safety hazard.

Floor graphics products are generally rated for application to low-pile, industrial grade, smooth-surface carpet. Textured carpet – any design with ribbing, grooves or cut-outs – will not be compatible as the textured surface gives far less adhesion points for the glue to stick to. One option is using a permanent adhesive, which risks leaving residue on your floor surface. Fortunately, there are temporary alternatives to explore. Drytac offers numerous media products developed for floor applications, with experts able to advice on the right one.
