Drytac’s Polar Premium RB90 is a matte white, polymeric, self-adhesive PVC film designed for vibrant, high-quality graphics that demand clean removability. The Brampton Steelheads, a prominent member of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), recently upgraded their Field of Play advertising using Drytac’s Polar Premium RB90 removable print media paired with Interlam Pro Matte. The combination delivered clean, durable, full-size rink board graphics without seams, an essential requirement in professional sports environments. To produce the 762 x 2438mm dasher board advertisements, the Steelheads worked with Rinkboards, part of the TC Intergraphics Decal, and a leading specialist in Field of Play Marketing. Media width proved critical to the project’s efficiency. Polar Premium RB90 at 1575mm and Interlam Pro Matte at 1549mm allowed the team to output full-coverage graphics without paneling or material waste.
Another key requirement was removability. Hockey is an aggressive, high-impact sport; even with a strong protective laminate, Rinkboards™ graphics are regularly struck by pucks and sticks during gameplay. A printable media with a removable adhesive ensured that damaged panels could be replaced quickly without harming the dasher system surface, and seasonal or sponsor updates could be handled efficiently. The arena environment also demanded a material that performs reliably in cold conditions. Polar Premium RB90’s low application temperature of -20˚C made installation at the rink straightforward and dependable for the production team.
