What is Photo-Tex?
Photo Tex is a peel and stick, patented, polyester fabric, adhesive media material that can be installed
on virtually any flat surface (except non-painted brick) in any weather condition and then removed and
reused many times over. Photo Tex is non-toxic, green and phthalates free. Check out the reference page for
videos showing are material in action!
What makes Photo Tex the No.1 used Polyester Removable Adhesive Fabric ?
Photo-Tex adhesive will not leave a sticky residue on 99% of any surface when removed. It can withstand
all weather conditions, and it will not shrink or curl like other material. Photo Tex won't rip or wrinkle
and can be pulled apart if it folds over during installation. (outdoor longevity varies based on ink source and
weather conditions). Our materials adhesive does not weaken after several position changes as long as the adhesive stays clean.
Since we are now becoming a household name in the industry there are a few "knock-offs" popping up. Since we cannot
put on every dealer in the USA, Other suppliers will try to lure you into buying their version of a "knock-off"- Photo Tex. Yes,
you can guess the line they are going to feed you! - Its exactly the same and cheaper than Photo Tex ! Even though it may feel
like Photo Tex, we have had many many customers giving us feedback why they are STICKING with Photo Tex.
1.) After a few moves the adhesive is almost gone or lost its tack.
2.) After a couple months the adhesive actually strengthened and took paint right off the wall when I removed it.
3.) The ink broke down from weather and washed right off the material.
4.) Their adhesive is removed when pulling apart when it came in contact with itself, you can rub it right off with your fingers.
5.) Their material does not have any toxic information.
6.) Their material is not green or bio-degradable.
7.) Their specification say you cannot use outside.
8.) Their specifications say you cannot leave up for more than 6 months.
9.) The adhesive stayed on the window, and we only had it up for 24hrs..
10.) You can easily rip their material with your hands.
11.) They have no idea if their material is free of Glycol-ether, Formaldehyde, or Phthalates.
