Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of self-supporting extendable materials such as tapes used for sealing, adhering two surfaces together, masking, medical tape, and the like; papers, vinyls, and decal substrates. More specifically, the disclosure is directed to coated extendable self-supporting materials, for example, adhesive tapes, papers, and adhesive sheets, and the manufacture of adhesive tapes and papers, wherein a length of tape or other material extends rigidly a certain distance and does not coil or curl onto itself, or curl or coil prematurely onto the receiving substrate. Yet, the material maintains flexibility to be pliable and generally to conform to a surface to which it may be applied. The material is available in sheet form or as roll goods.
