Intertape Polymer Group Introduces Decorative Concrete Tapes

MONTREAL, QUEBEC and BRADENTON, FLORIDA -- Intertape Polymer Group Inc. ("IPG" or the "Company") a leading manufacturer of industrial and packaging products, is targeting the Concrete Decorative Industry with a new line of products specifically designed to meet the needs of contractors, installers and Do-it-Yourself-ers.

"Each of our Decorative Concrete (DC) tapes is of the highest quality and feature strength, durability, and clean removal from nearly every surface. Whether its working with stains and dyes, microtoppings and overlay, or exterior stucco and plaster, IPG has a solution for that application," said Tim Brown, VP Consumer Sales.

The DC line consists of five products. DC Ultra2in1 is a new double-sided masking tape designed to initially act as a barrier to an overlay (a bonded layer of material placed on existing concrete surfaces for restoration or beautification purposes) application. When the liner is removed, that same strip of tape becomes the carrier for the masking film protecting the general area from Stains and dyes. DC blue is IPGs blue masking tape specially designed to prevent chemical bonding resulting in sealer failure. DC Orange is a heavy duty, clean removal duct tape designed to work on rough surfaces, DC Grout is reinforced tape for strong grout line pulls, and DC Drape is a compact, durable film that prevents overspray and provides solvent resistant protection.

"Our new DC product line is the result of extensive market research and industry collaboration. We are excited to be the first company to offer tape solutions specific to the needs and challenges of the growing decorative concrete industry," said Brandon Paas, IPG Market Research Analyst.
