Jessup TenaciousTac – High-Tack Permanent Vinyl

Jessup TenaciousTac High-Tack Vinyl

Jessup TenaciousTac is a versatile line of high-tack, permanent vinyl solutions engineered to deliver outstanding adhesion on a wide variety of surfaces. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, TenaciousTac products excel on substrates that can be difficult for standard adhesives, including textured walls, low surface energy plastics, and powder-coated metals. Whether you need long-lasting signage, durable product labeling, or permanent graphics, TenaciousTac offers dependable performance supported by industry-leading specifications.

Two main variants—TenaciousTac-1 and TenaciousTac-1CR—accommodate different project requirements. TenaciousTac-1 is a 3 mil white vinyl featuring a 1 mil high-tack permanent adhesive. Its outstanding peel strength ensures it stands up to challenging environments, delivering reliable adherence to rough or uneven surfaces. In contrast, TenaciousTac-1CR has a slightly thicker 3.5 mil PVC substrate coupled with a chemical-resistant acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. This variant also features a pigmented formulation for improved opacity and an air egress liner for easier positioning and bubble-free installs. Both options excel in scenarios where permanence and robust durability are top priorities, such as industrial equipment labeling, automotive decals, or large-format signage in high-traffic settings.

The TenaciousTac series is also chemical-resistant, tolerating intermittent contact with substances like water, saltwater, and certain cleaning agents. Additionally, the unique formulations can withstand a broad range of service temperatures, ensuring minimal shrinkage or edge lift even in challenging conditions. With the ability to print on UV, latex, solvent, and eco-solvent systems, these vinyls align with flexible production workflows for easy customization and brand consistency.

When it comes to application, TenaciousTac adheres best on clean, debris-free surfaces at recommended minimum temperatures (as low as 40°F for TenaciousTac-1, and below 10°F for TenaciousTac-1CR in certain conditions). Thanks to their high tack and robust shear adhesion, these vinyls stay firmly in place and resist curling or peeling. This reliability makes them ideal for everything from heavy machinery decals to vibrant floor graphics in industrial or commercial buildings. No matter the environment, Jessup TenaciousTac helps keep your message or branding visible, durable, and secure.
