  • Publication number: 20150111010
    Abstract: An adhesive tape or string, comprising: a substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and defining a longitudinal direction; and an adhesive system comprising at least a first adhesive section and a second adhesive section, wherein the first adhesive section and the second adhesive section each contact the first surface of the substrate, and wherein the first adhesive section comprises a first heat-activatable hot melt adhesive having a first activation temperature range and a first set time and the second adhesive section comprises a second heat-activatable hot melt adhesive having a second activation temperature range and a second set time, and wherein: the first activation temperature range is different than the second activation temperature range; or the first set time is different than the second set time; or the first activation temperature range is different than the second activation temperature range and the first set time is different than the second set time.

  • Publication number: 20150090621
    Abstract: A tape comprising: a first hot melt adhesive composition or plastic composition that provides weft strength to the tape; a second hot melt adhesive composition that includes a release agent; an encapsulated fibrous material layer, wherein the fibrous material is encapsulated by (i) the first hot melt adhesive composition or (ii) the second hot melt adhesive composition; and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that defines an outer pressure sensitive adhesive surface of the tape; wherein the first hot melt adhesive composition or plastic composition is located between the second hot melt adhesive composition and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer.
