Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive foam tape. In certain embodiments the foam tape does not require the use of a release liner. Elimination of the release liner reduces the cost of the tape and also avoids problems associated with damage to the liner during traditional tape manufacturing from exposure to e-beam radiation.

Abstract: A method of producing an adhesive article including the steps of applying release coating compound(s) to a second side of a liner backing; applying an adhesive onto a first side of said coated liner backing; crosslinking said adhesive with E-Beam radiation applied through the second side of said liner backing; and winding said article into a roll.
