Abstract: An adhesive tape comprising a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and an adhesive applied to the top or the bottom surface of the substrate. The adhesive comprises a tackifying resin. The tackifying resin comprises a rosin resin, a rosin resin derivative, a terpene resin, a heat reactive phenolic resin, a petroleum-based resin, or a combination thereof. Rosin resin derivatives include a rosin ester, a rosin metal salt, a hydrogenated rosin ester, a partially hydrogenated rosin, or a combination thereof. In another aspect, the adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive, and the adhesive tape is a masking tape. The adhesive tape is particularly suitable for adhesion to surfaces painted with paint having low or no volatile organic compounds.

Abstract: An adhesive tape comprising a fragrance and a method of making the same. The adhesive tape may be a duct tape, for example.

Abstract: An adhesive tape comprising a transparent or semi-transparent substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one non-linear shaped masking edge, the bottom surface of the substrate having an adhesive layer applied thereto, and a liner affixed to the adhesive layer. The shaped masking edge of the adhesive layer has a treatment material applied thereto. The liner is optionally a split liner. The method for making the adhesive tape having a shaped edge comprises obtaining a tape comprised of a transparent or semi-transparent substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one non-linear shaped edge, the bottom surface of the substrate having an adhesive layer applied thereto, and applying a liner to the adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the substrate to form a combined tape structure.
