Jessup TenaciousTac CLR 2CR High-Tack Clear Vinyl

Jessup TenaciousTac CLR 2CR – High-Tack Clear Vinyl for Difficult Surfaces

Jessup TenaciousTac CLR 2CR is a printable, high-tack clear vinyl engineered for permanent labels and graphics on challenging substrates. This construction pairs a 3.5 mil clear calendered vinyl face with 2 mils of chemically resistant, permanent acrylic adhesive and a 6.5 mil release liner. The result is a durable clear film that adheres strongly to low surface energy (LSE) plastics, powder-coated finishes and other hard-to-stick surfaces while allowing the underlying color or finish to remain visible.

Designed as a 5-year weatherable film when properly applied, Jessup TenaciousTac CLR 2CR high-tack clear vinyl delivers excellent peel adhesion on stainless steel, powder-coated surfaces and polyethylene. High initial tack and strong bond build over time help keep drum labels, container decals and outdoor identification firmly in place even under demanding conditions. TenaciousTac CLR 2CR is compatible with all major ink technologies, including eco-solvent, solvent, latex and UV-curable inks, making it easy to integrate into existing wide-format or label production workflows.

Ideal Applications for TenaciousTac CLR 2CR

Use Jessup TenaciousTac CLR 2CR wherever you need a clear, permanent, chemical-resistant graphic or label on a surface that rejects standard vinyl. Typical applications include:

• Drum and container labels: Clear hazard, product ID and regulatory labels on chemical drums, barrels, totes and other plastic or coated containers.
• Garbage and recycling containers: High-tack clear decals and instructional labels on outdoor carts, bins and LSE plastic containers.
• Equipment and machinery branding: Clear logos and markings on painted or powder-coated generators, compressors, pumps and other equipment.
• Outdoor identification and decals: Durable clear graphics exposed to weather, UV and routine cleaning.
• General graphics on LSE surfaces: Any application where additional adhesive strength is required but a clear film is preferred.

Printing & Installation Guidelines

TenaciousTac CLR 2CR is intended for professional wide-format and label production. Following good print and installation practices will help ensure long-term performance:

• Surface preparation: Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove dust, oils, waxes, silicone, loose paint and other contaminants. Allow the surface to dry completely before application.
• Application temperature: Apply at temperatures above 7 °F, with best results at typical shop or room temperatures.
• Printing: Use appropriate profiles for eco-solvent, solvent, latex or UV-curable inks. Allow prints to fully dry and outgas prior to cutting and installation.
• Installation: Position the graphic and apply firm, even pressure with a squeegee or roller to promote full contact, especially on contoured or textured areas.
• Bond build: Adhesion increases over the first 24 hours or more. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or abrasion during this initial cure period.
• Chemical exposure: Product has been evaluated with water, 10% saltwater, bleach, ammonia, detergents, glass cleaner, 99% IPA, all-purpose cleaners and disinfectants; always test in your specific environment if long-term chemical exposure is expected.
