Like most of you we hope to see greater easing of the lock-down restrictions and the safe return to work in the coming weeks & months.

JIT took the decision to remain open during the lock-down to support our Customers working in essential manufacturing and distribution.

As always, safety remains a top priority and as we have already been through the process of COVID-19 risk assessments and ensuring our facilities were suitably prepared, we wanted to share with you some of the resources we utilised in the hope if helps you with your planned return to work.

• Consult guidelines - information available on government websites, World Health Organisation & HSE.
• Risk Assessment - CIPD's COVID-19 template available here.
• Workplace - organise work areas to ensure people can adhere to social distancing - section off areas using tapes, floor decals and provide signage throughout to serve as a reminder to keep 2 metres apart from others. Where 2 metre distancing cannot be adhered to, sectional screening may be used to create a physical barrier between people.
• Hygiene - Provide adequate hand washing facilities with water, soap & paper towels and ensure hand sanitiser/wipes are available at multiple locations especially for those who are unable to access hand washing facilities - in vehicles/vans, warehouse etc.  Ensure cleaning & disinfectant materials are available for the regular cleaning of work stations & equipment/tools - especially if shared between operators.
• PPE - Follow the HSE guidelines on suitable mask, gloves etc

We hope the above helps with your plans for a safe return to work.

Don't forget, JIT are here & fully operational to support you with your consumable requirements. Please keep us in mind if you have any requirements for tapes, adhesives, sealants, films, abrasives, cleaning & degreasing products or packaging.

In addition to our existing stock holding of outdoor grade performance silicone and bonding polymers, we are working closely with the German manufacturer, ISO-Chemie to offer a wide range of expanding foams which are being specified as alternatives to conventional silicone and aerosol foams.

They offer better thermal properties in addition to peace of mind where expansion and contraction in building materials & structure has led to failings well short of the warranties & guarantees offered by the installer - in particular where height or access is a costly issue.

ISO BLOCO ONE is a special multi-functional all in one joint sealing tape with outstanding properties: -

• A-value of 0.00m³/[h-m-(daPa)^2/3] the pre-compressed tape is 100% air tight at the internal seal area, contributing in minimising heat loss by convection.
• Also possess an optimal vapour diffusion gradient from the inside outwards (40:1) enhancing the external transmission of moisture, enabling the joints to dry out quicker.
• Resistant to driven rain in excess of 1050Pa
• Can be installed in adverse weather conditions.
• Easy one step application for reliable seal - sealing a wide range of joint sizes with a minimum of tape dimensions.
• certified Passive House component
• 10 Year Function Warranty - on the conditions of the manufacturer (available on request).

It’s a new approach to installing windows and doors, but with the above benefits they have been well received by architects and are becoming specified more and more. (There are also FR products within the range).

JIT & key partners DL Chemicals, are in attendance at the FIT Show in Birmingham's NEC. The exhibition which runs from 21st to 23rd May is the UK's only exhibition for the window, door and glazing industry.

Nigel, Ryan, Steve & Piet are available to discuss the full range of sealants including Parabond, Parsilico, Sanitair & FR which have proven to be popular additions to our product range.

As JIT's MD Nigel Fleming commented "Sustainability & environmental responsibility are continuing themes throughout many industries at the moment and certainly at this year's FIT Show we have seen a strong interest in water based products over the conventional solvent based sealants. The foil chubs are also gaining in popularity over the traditional plastic cartridges - many of our customers have already made the transition to the foil chubs and feedback on the additional benefits has been very encouraging."

If you can't make it to the exhibition this year and would like more information on the range, please feel free to contact the office on 01698 748290 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Gummed paper tapes have been around for years but have recently seen a resurgence in popularity as companies look to reduce their environmental footprint.

Not only are JIT's gummed paper tapes biodegradable, made from renewable resources and eco friendly, they also offer a host of benefits: -

• LESS WASTAGE - Used with tape dispensers which moisten & cut the tape to your required length, they dispense the exact amount of tape needed preventing unnecessary waste.
• COST EFFECTIVE - In most instances only one strip of gummed tape is needed instead of several strips of plastic tape - using less tape offers yet more cost savings.
• STRONG SEAL - When wet, the gummed paper tape penetrates into the fibre of the box forming an integral bond & effectively becomes part of the box.
• TAMPER EVIDENT - Cannot be removed from a box without leaving signs the parcel has been tampered with.
• LOOKS GOOD - Packages look well presented, secure & professional. Being easy to print on they also provide an opportunity to promote your brand.
• TEMPERATURE RESISTANT - Maintains its integrity even in extreme temperatures & humid conditions - perfect for long-term storage or need to ship or store your parcels in hot, humid or freezing conditions.

Our MD, Nigel Fleming, recently spoke with Packaging Scotland about the popularity of the gummed paper tapes and other eco-friendly packaging options in a recent article which you can view here.
