Introducing EnvironMolds’ InPlais, the new line of area-rug backing. It is a non-slip adhesive formulated specifically to promote safety in the home by addressing the issue of trips, slips, and falls among active seniors.
Did you know that falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the single most common cause of nonfatal hospital admissions in older adults?
Over 70% of falls occur in the home, and up to 50% of these falls are associated with unstable or insecure carpets or rugs. This is the problem that the InPlais rug adhesive has been designed to solve for you.
•It’s simple to apply
•Protects floors from scratching
•Keeps rugs from curling
•Eliminates rug ripples
•Eliminates potential tripping hazards
•Washable, too
•Available in three convenient sizes
InPlais is used to coat rugs, runners, carpets, welcome mats, bathroom mats, and even slippers. No matter what surface it’s used on, it provides a safe, slip-free surface that protects from accidental slips and falls.
Rugs and textiles treated with InPlais™ are completely machine-washable and won’t lose their non-slip finish. Not only that, InPlais™ can improve the durability of textiles by preventing fibers from loosening or unraveling.
All you need is a brush, InPlais a rug, and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area. Open the container of InPlais and set it aside for a few minutes to allow the ammonia odor to dissipate.
Turn over the rug, make certain the reverse side is clean and free of any debris, and begin painting on the first coat InPlais. Place the brush in a cup of cold water between layers to keep it ready to use for a second coat.
It is time to apply the second coat when you see that the first coat has become completely translucent. Two thin layers work much better than one thick layer. Then second layer should be applied less than twelve hours after the first layer to properly adhere.
You can also apply InPlaise to the bottom of slippers for a sure grip.
