Tough-Tex Polyester vs. Nyl-Glo Nylon

Annin offers different materials for different display conditions. Tough-Tex is a heavier, two-ply spun polyester designed for demanding outdoor and commercial use. Annin's Nyl-Glo nylon is lighter and moves more readily in lighter wind.

Annin describes Tough-Tex as its strongest and most durable all-weather flag material and recommends it for institutional, commercial, larger and long-term displays. Review Annin's current outdoor flag material guidance for the manufacturer's specifications.

Outdoor Display and Flag Care

No outdoor fabric flag has a guaranteed lifespan. Sunlight, wind, moisture, display hours, flag size, installation and repeated contact with surrounding objects all affect wear.

Keep the flag clear of roofs, walls, gutters, trees and other surfaces that can repeatedly strike the fly end. Remove the flag during destructive weather when appropriate for the installation, and inspect stitching and attachment points regularly.
