Abstract: The invention provides a reinforcement pad comprising a non-woven fibrous layer having a thickness of at least 3 mm and having opposite major sides, one of said major sides comprising an adhesive layer, wherein said non-woven fibrous layer comprises a cross-linkable composition. Upon curing of the cross-linkable composition, the non-woven fibrous layer can be stiffened.

Abstract: The invention relates to adhesive articles provided with an elongated core which comprises a fibrous web and with a sheath comprising an adhesive composition, which are particularly suitable for bonding or stiffening a variety of substrates.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adhesive pad comprising a fibrous layer comprising a mixture of metal fibers and polymeric fibers, said fibrous layer having a thickness of at least 3 mm and having on at least one of its opposite major surfaces an adhesive layer, said adhesive layer being configured so as to allow electrical contact between said fibrous layer and a metal substrate when such metal substrate is adhered to said adhesive layer. The opposite major surfaces of the fibrous layer of the adhesive pad are generally planar and generally parallel to each other. In a particular embodiment, the adhesive pad is in the form of a sheet, for example rectangular, square, circular or oval or in the form of a web.

Abstract: An adhesive tape for bonding components such as, for example, in a motor vehicle. The adhesive tape comprises a non-perforated or perforated metal layer having opposite first and second major sides, each of the first and second major sides having an adhesive layer defining an adhesive surface on the first and second major sides. The adhesive layer on the first and second major sides comprises domains of pressure sensitive adhesive and domains of an activatable adhesive composition. Each of the domains define a part of the surface of the adhesive layer. A method of adhering components of motor vehicles together.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive article comprising a fibrous web, said fibrous web having opposite first and second major surfaces, both of said first and second major surfaces being provided with an adhesive layer comprising an adhesive composition, wherein said fibrous web has a thickness of at least 2 mm and wherein at least a portion of said fibers in the fibrous web extend from said first to said second major surface and are in bonding engagement with the adhesive layers provided on said first and second major surface or are capable of being bonded to each other so as to form fibers which extend from said first to said second major surface and are in bonding engagement with the adhesive layers provided on said first and second major surface.
