UZIN Plurafilm Hydro: Our new Multi-application Adhesive Tape & DPM Quick, clean & easy moisture protection and floor covering installation
Unnecessary business closures can have a negative impact on sales and operations. Traditional moisture mitigation systems usually take 3 to 4 days of work, and wet adhesives need to cure for at least 24 hours before heavy foot traffic or loads can be placed on the flooring. However, with the innovative UZIN Plurafilm Hydro Tape, floor coverings such as LVT, vinyl, carpet, or rubber can be installed over damp cement screeds in just 1 to 2 days. Once the tape is applied, the area is immediately ready for foot traffic and use. The time-saving benefits of the Plurafilm Hydro system make it ideal for retail or refurbishment projects with tight deadlines, helping your clients save both time and money.
