English term or phrase: tack-free

This is in a data sheet about paint, and specifically refers to the paint drying time. I'm not sure what tack refers to.

completa essiccazione al tatto (perdita di adesività)

Explanation:
Penso questa traduzione possa essere quella giusta poichè ho un'ottima conoscenza delle vernici e d quello che riferisci il processo in causa dovrebbe essere il seguente:
se è vero che dopo circa 2 ore la vernice è asciutta in superficie all'interno della stessa la completa essiccazione avviene dopo 24 ore(o un tempo minore, non mi è chiaro il valore temporale che hai indicato) con una completa perdita di adesività

Perdita' di adesivita' mi sembra la soluzione piu' corretta in questo caso. C'era gia' in Kudoz ma in un contesto completamente diverso. Grazie ant_olga

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you Dolores. I can't access the link and, although your answer seems correct, I need to add something. THis spec is preceded by another line that just says "To Touch", in the following way: To Touch 2 hours 1 1/2 hours ....... Tack free 24 hours 8 hours ......... So I assume it must be another thing as the "tack free" takes a lot longer.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you Moranna. I assumed it was something like this but underneath it is the disclaimer: the recoating time is specified in the application instructions. So is recoating and tack free the same thing? I am getting very confused here.

Asker: There is no sentence, it's a data sheet, a list. I've put everything there is on the subject. The other entries do not relate to this.
