Specialty Tapes LLC, Franksville, Wisconsin has introduced Tough Edge Banner Hem Tape, Product S870, which is a high strength, white reinforced, composite backing, single coated with a high tack acrylic adhesive. Tough Edge permanently bonds banner edges and signs to eliminate the need for grommets, folding and sewing. The finished banner edge has a smooth, unrippled hem. Tough Edge Banner Hem tape is resistant to plasticizers, temperature variations, water and humidity. Holes may be punched through the material for no tear fastening. The aggressive adhesive is highly moisture resistant and has excellent durability in extreme cold and heat.

The carrier is an 8 mil composite laminate that is highly conformable and puncture resistant. The acrylic adhesive system is resistant to water, moisture and plasticizers.   It resists extreme temperature swings, such as year round outdoor construction. A high tack pressure sensitive adhesive is coated on one side of the laminate and achieves adhesion of 115 oz/in on stainless steel. Temperature resistance is -400 F to +2000 F. Tough Edge is commonly used at construction sites for horizontal and vertical exterior wall shielding and signage.
