What is switchTec®?

switchTec® is a range of self adhesive tapes which are wound onto rolls. A micro-perforated polyethylene film is coated on both sides in the factory using different dispersion adhesives. The adhesive strengths are matched to various substrate types. All switchTec® products provide an alternative to wet adhesives or loose lay systems when installing floor coverings or skirting. Sigan® is one range of products from switchTec® whereby a variety of floor coverings such vinyl, luxury vinyl tiles and carpets can be fitted onto subfloors or existing floor coverings. 

Sigan®. How does it work?

A new floor covering can easily be applied onto an existing floor covering (or subfloor) without having to remove the old covering. This not only avoids the normal disturbances caused when renovating, but also saves the client time and money. The new floor covering can then be used and walked upon immediately. When the covering applied becomes worn after years of use, it can be removed quickly and easily, without leaving any adhesive residues.

UZIN REMUR: The Multi-purpose Skirting Tape

UZIN REMUR provides a quick, clean and safe installation of skirting, coving and capping! The multi-purpose contact tape that can be used to install a huge range of lino, vinyl and PVC products. UZIN U-Tack skirting tape does not become brittle, providing a secure and extremely durable bond. The installation is also quicker, cleaner and most importantly solvent free. The product therefore does not require any special PPE (personal protective equipment) or work protection measures. With solvent based adhesives you would need to protect your skin and airways to exposure of the adhesive and its fumes.  Many solvent based contact adhesives are also highly flammable whereas with skirting tapes there are no explosion risks for the installer during application. Due to the health and safety risks for both installers and clients the use of solvent based contact adhesives are now becoming banned from hospitals and other sensitive environments.
