BRIDGEWATER, NJ, February 5, 2007 - National Adhesives is debuting PRONTO(TM), a new self-adhesive joint tape for professional drywall installation, at the 2008 International Builders' Show (Booth number W5051) on February 13 in Orlando, Florida.
PRONTO joint tape evenly covers both factory and butt joints, eliminates the first coat of joint compound, and removes several time-consuming steps from the traditional drywall finishing process, providing up to 25% savings in overall drywall finishing cost, according to National Adhesives officials. Typical process time for finishing drywall is 3 to 5 days. PRONTO joint tape replaces the first four steps of the process, including "waiting for the compound to dry" (which saves a full day), cutting costs in labor, commuting, site prep and clean up time.
Made by National Adhesives, a global leader in industrial adhesives technology, PRONTO is a profiled, perforated tape that decreases cycle time, reduces labor and joint compound costs and provides a consistent first coat quality while eliminating pesky bubbles.
