Jessup TenaciousTac 1CRG High-Tack Vinyl

Jessup TenaciousTac 1CRG – High-Tack Vinyl with Air Egress Liner

Jessup TenaciousTac 1CRG is a high-tack, chemically resistant vinyl engineered for permanent labels and graphics on difficult surfaces, with the added benefit of an air egress liner for easier installation. This construction combines a 3.5 mil white calendered vinyl face with 1 mil of pigmented, permanent acrylic adhesive and a 6.5 mil air egress release liner, providing enhanced opacity and excellent adhesion to low surface energy (LSE) plastics, powder-coated finishes and other challenging substrates.

Designed as a durable, weatherable solution, Jessup TenaciousTac 1CRG high-tack vinyl is rated for up to five years of outdoor use when properly applied. The chemically resistant adhesive system tolerates exposure to water, 10% saltwater, detergents, glass cleaners and many common all-purpose cleaners, making this film a strong choice for industrial, transportation and outdoor labeling environments where both adhesion and resistance to routine cleaning are required.

Ideal Applications for TenaciousTac 1CRG

Choose Jessup TenaciousTac 1CRG when you need a high-tack, installer-friendly film for permanent graphics and labels on tough surfaces. Typical applications include:

• Industrial and equipment labels: Rating plates, safety decals and instructional labels on powder-coated panels, housings and machinery.
• Containers and LSE plastics: Durable labeling on fuel cans, chemical containers, plastic tanks and low surface energy bins where adhesion is critical.
• Service and maintenance environments: Labels in garages, shops and facilities that are routinely cleaned with detergents, glass cleaner and disinfectants.
• Outdoor identification and branding: Product ID, asset tags and branded decals exposed to weather and UV for long-term service life.
• Installer-friendly graphics: Applications where the air egress liner helps reduce bubbles and speeds up application on larger decals or complex surfaces.

Printing & Installation Guidelines

TenaciousTac 1CRG is intended for professional wide-format production. Following good print and installation practices will help you get consistent results:

• Surface preparation: Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove dust, oils, waxes, silicone, loose paint and other contaminants. Allow the surface to dry completely before installation.
• Application temperature: Apply at temperatures above 7 °F, with best performance achieved at typical shop or room temperatures.
• Printing: Use appropriate profiles for eco-solvent, solvent, latex or UV-curable inks. Let prints fully dry and outgas prior to cutting and installation.
• Installation: Position the graphic, then use a squeegee or roller to apply firm, even pressure. The air egress liner helps release trapped air and minimize bubbles during application.
• Bond build: Adhesion increases over the first 24 hours or more. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or abrasion during this initial cure period.
