Legacy is an ongoing journey. UZIN says it embraces the future with adhesives designed for closed-loop recycling, low CO2-emission formulations and solvent-free adhesives that ensure the safety and wellbeing of installers.

‘What sets UZIN apart is more intelligent systems, safer, cleaner processes and faster solutions. Innovative SwitchTec tapes, such as UZIN Plurafilm Hydro and UZIN Remur, provide modern, time-saving solutions. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro DPM Tape allows floor coverings to be installed over damp cementitious screeds up to 99.9% RH in just one day. UZIN Remur is a metal-reinforced skirting tape that prevents skirting, capping, and coving from gapping or shrinking.’
