Drytac announces global availability of Polar Blockout UV

Print Solutions

Polar Blockout UV, which launched in North America in late 2023, is now being made available to Drytac customers in regions around the world.

Polar Blockout UV is a 2.0 mil (50μ) highly opaque layered white PET film with a gloss finish. It is coated with a white pressure sensitive, permanent aqueous acrylic adhesive which is protected by a siliconised PE coated release paper.

It is the ideal solution for users to create double sided window graphics without the need for ink layers or white ink.

Customers can simply pair the material with a reverse printed clear print media such as Drytac’s SpotOn Clear Gloss or, for a non PVC solution, with ReTac Clear PET, to produce eye catching window graphics applications.

The film’s high opacity prevents graphics from showing through on the other side when being used as a cover up graphic, offering a highly effective solution to customers seeking to produce bold and impactful applications.

Compatible with UV printing technology, Polar Blockout UV is supplied with seven years’ warranty across interior and exterior applications, when used with a matching laminate.

‘Given the success of Polar Blockout UV in the US over the past 18 months, the next logical step was for us to open up the product to more customers around the world,’ said Dennis Leblanc, Senior product and business development manager. ‘We look forward to seeing what exciting applications our customers create with the product.’
