Drytac, the international manufacturer of self-adhesive materials for the large format print and signage markets, has announced the global availability of Polar Blockout UV opaque printable block out film.

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. Launched in North America towards the end of 2023 with much success, Polar Blockout UV is now being offered to customers in markets around the world.

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 Drytac’s award winning 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 at Drytac. “We look forward to seeing what exciting applications our customers create with the product.”
