Abstract: Method for wrapping cables which are exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, with an adhesive tape comprising a carrier and a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which is applied to at least one side of the carrier and is in the form of a dried and electron beam (EBC)-crosslinked polymeric acrylate dispersion which is built up from a) monomeric acrylates and optionally b) ethylenically unsaturated comonomers which are not acrylates, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises between 15 and 100 parts by weight of a tackifier (based on the weight of the dried polymeric dispersion).

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive tape for sheathing elongated goods, such as, in particular, cable looms in automobiles, its production and the use for sheathing cables, wherein the adhesive tape according to the invention comprises a carrier and a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which is applied to at least one side of the carrier and is in the form of a dried and electron beam (EBC)-crosslinked polymeric acrylate dispersion which is built up from a) monomeric acrylates and optionally b) ethylenically unsaturated comonomers which are not acrylates, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises between 15 and 100 parts by weight of a tackifier (based on the weight of the dried polymeric dispersion).
