Adheso-Cut Tape Dispensing Unit from Nova Polymers

Nova introduces the Adheso-Cut tape dispensing device. Adheso-Cut is designed to allow tapes to be cut to s pre-determined lengths which will reduce time and labor while fabricating signage.

We have recently started carrying 3M adhesives and have found that most tapes are being manually cut to specifc lengths which can be time comcuming and costly for the fabricator. Adheso-Cut is meant to stream line the cutting of adhesives and add more profit to each sign that is produced.

No More Lumicor

Nova is no longer carrying and distributing Lumicor products.  Approximately 18 months ago we entered into a relationship that allowed us to bring Lumicor to the signage industry easier than through Lumicor's current channel.  Unfortunately the relationship has ended and anyone who wants this material will have to wait and go through Lumicors standard process.

The good news is that Nova's relationship with 3form is continuing to grow. We are going to be offering a couple of new programs later this fall - stay tuned.

Below is an excerpt form the office ADA website at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/ADAregs2010.htm.


Revised ADA Regulations
Implementing Title II and Title III

On Friday, July 23, 2010, Attorney General Eric Holder signed final regulations revising the Department’s ADA regulations, including its ADA Standards for Accessible Design. These regulations will be published in the Federal Register. The revised regulations will amend the Department’s Title II regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35, and the Title III regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 36.  Appendix A to each regulation includes a section by section analysis of the rule and responses to public comments on the proposed rule. Appendix B to the Title III regulation discusses major changes in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and responds to public comments received on the proposed rules.

In general, these final rules will take effect 6 months after the date on which they are published in the Federal Register. Compliance with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design is permitted after that date, but not required until 18 months after the date of publication. The Department has prepared fact sheets identifying the major changes in the rules.
