PROMAT comes as a flat stock, 100 sheets in each easy dispense box. Installation is Simple. Hold the PROMAT Carpet Protector at the bottom, peel off the large backing and position it where you want it. Once in position, peel off the rest of the backing and simply smooth over the whole PROMAT with your hands so the high strength adhesive adheres to the carpet. Every Installer (Detailer) needs to be aware of these three things:

• Moisture,
• Residues that remain from carpet treatment, and
• Temperature.

Installation Tips: (For Detailers)

After using your wet vac, leave the doors open for ventilation. If this is not an option, be sure to open windows enough to let air flow dry the floors.

• Moisture:  Any trapped moisture will start the mold process. All adhesive carpet protectors use acrylic-based adhesives. Acrylic adhesives are water based to allow for easy cleanup so, if there is any moisture in the carpet during application, it will have an effect on the adhesion. The carpet must be dry for good adhesion.
• Conditioners:  Products containing silicone or lanolin will greatly reduce adhesion. These products are viscous, or slippery by nature. You will find such additives in some carpet shampoos, carpet coloring chemicals, or carpet protection products such as Scotch Guard. If the carpet has been conditioned with products containing these additives, it must be thoroughly cleaned before the adhesive will stick.
• Temperature:   The temperature range for this product once installed is from 40 degrees below zero to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for the adhesive to remain intact. The ideal conditions are above 50° and below 95° Fahrenheit. The workable temperature range may vary in different parts of the country. Ideal storage temperature is a minimum of 50 degrees. Don't adhere PROMAT to wet carpet; simply lay the protectors on the floor with backing, or substrate intact, and adhere the PROMAT Protectors when the underlayment is dry.

Research & Development

• Testing of this product was performed by PROMAT INC with the help of Green Bay Packaging and their laboratory. Testing included performance evaluation of numerous vinyls and adhesives at extreme temperatures: From between -65° to 185° Fahrenheit) We start by using a 3.95 Mil Vinyl. It took over a year of testing to find the strongest adhesive for use in all market temperature conditions and most importantly
• PROMAT does not leave any residue on the carpet itself. Finding the best adhesive available that didn’t leave adhesive residue and could handle these temperatures was our biggest challenge. After one year of testing many different vinyls and adhesives in and on the front line of a select few dealerships, we have come up with what we believe is the best carpet protector in the market.

The substrate has a die cut allowing the detailer to peel off the large portion, leaving a portion of the substrate for easy handling and positioning. When the product is in perfect position, the detailer can simply peel of the rest of the backing or substrate. The backing or what we call the substrate of every PROMAT is coated, this allows the detailer to just drop the PROMATs in the car after a finished detail for instant protection and install the carpet protectors at a later time. The 48 small 1/8 in. ventilating holes are very important, letting air circulate through the carpet helps reduce the chance of mold and mildew smells. Though the carpet may appear to be dry after detailers shampoo them, the under lament of the carpet is still damp and when covered by the traditional roll-off carpet protectors, you are trapping the moisture. This is what causes mold and the mildew smells which makes the vehicle virtually impossible to sell.

Testing

Evaluation: PROMAT’s next step was to work with Professional Detailing Personal to find out the negatives of our competitions product. Our research showed that dealers using the traditional roll-off product wasted up to 30% because of the difficulties of installing and handling. This is when we introduced the Peel & Stick concept; detailers love this product simply because of the ease of use. The detailer can throw the product into a car if the carpets are still damp and install at a later time on the lot. PROMAT put a protective coating on the back of the substrate so the moisture doesn’t damage the PROMAT carpet protector. We also put a die cut in the back so the installer can tear off the large portion and still have 6 inches of backing to hold onto for easy alignment or placement, eliminating wasted product.
