Drytac debuts ArmourPrint Emerytex and ArmourGrab counter mat solution

Drytac, an international manufacturer of self-adhesive materials for the large format print and signage markets, has launched the ArmourPrint Emerytex and ArmourGrab combination counter mat solution, now available globally.

ArmourPrint Emerytex is described as a clear, heavy-duty, slip-resistant monomeric 15 mil (381μ) PVC film with a matte pebble textured finish on one side and a smooth printable surface on the other. It has been approved by the FDA for incidental food contact, making it suitable for advertising applications in hospitality and retail environments. ArmourGrab is an 8 mil (203μ) co-extruded white anti-slip film coated with a heavy coat weight, permanent, pressure sensitive clear acrylic adhesive, Drytac explains. Used together, the two products are designed to create a food-safe counter mat solution ideal for eye-catching POP advertising.

Drytac explains that due to the slip-resistant qualities of both ArmourPrint Emerytex and ArmourGrab, the products can also be used for applications such as placemats and mouse pads. Their UV protection also enables outdoor use, as a moisture barrier aims to protect the printed image and aid hygiene. No white ink is needed to create counter mats as the white ArmourGrab backs the ArmourPrint Emerytex to eliminate the extra cost of printing with white, the company says.

The ArmourPrint Emerytex and ArmourGrab dual-product counter mat solution was previewed at the SGIA Expo 2018 in Las Vegas in October.
