Abstract: The invention relates to a composite article comprising: —an item (2) to be attached to a substrate; and —an adhesive tape (3) for attaching the item to the substrate, the adhesive tape having a substantially flat shape with a first main surface (6) facing the item, the first main surface extending in a cross section perpendicular to the first main surface from a first edge (8) to a second edge (9); —a lamination region (11) on the first surface, wherein the lamination region is the region where the adhesive tape is laminated to the item; and —wherein the lamination region is smaller than the first main surface. The invention also relates to a method of making a composite article.

Abstract: A taped seal construction for a body part of a vehicle, with a seal with a main portion and a lip portion, the main portion being designed to extend on one side of the body part of the vehicle and the lip portion being designed to extend on another side of the body part of the vehicle thereby covering an edge of the body part, and a tape, the tape being attached to the main portion of the seal, wherein that the tape comprises a split liner.

Abstract: There is provided a method of attaching an elongate strip to a door frame of the body of a vehicle comprising application of the elongate strip by means of a device comprising: i. a drive means; ii. an application head; iii. a stress control unit positioned between the drive means and application head and comprising one of more sensor units; iv. and a control unit for controlling the drive means, the elongate strip comprises an adhesive tape comprising a foam layer having first and second major sides and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer associated with one of the major sides of the foam layer, the pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a cross-linked rubber and the foam layer comprises an acrylic polymer of one or more alkyl acrylates having an average of 3 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, the foam layer having a density of at least 540 kg/m3.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for the application of a strip material to a substrate. Particularly, the present invention relates to a automatic application of an elongate strip of elastic material to a substrate. The present invention further relates to a device and a method for applying a seal strip such as a weatherstrip seal to a substrate. The elongate strip is advanced by drive means and positioned on a substrate by means of an application unit. The stress of the elongate strip is controlled by a stress control unit which is positioned in the area between the drive means and the application unit.
