Abstract: A protective cap for adhesion to a substrate including a substantially flat base sheet, a dome extending outwardly from an obverse side of the base sheet and forming a cavity in the opposite side of the base sheet with the cavity sized for substantially encapsulating a connector. The cap also includes a semi-tubular shield extending outwardly from one side of the base sheet that defines a channel in the opposite side of the base sheet extending from the cavity toward the periphery of the base sheet, and an integrated primer layer comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive and attached to the reverse side of the base sheet for application to the substrate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus providing a process of laminating tape with a thin integral primer to a release liner. The apparatus of the present invention comprises multiple extrusion dies and adjustable driven rollers having an arrangement that supplies a stream of molten adhesive and a separate stream of primer that is laminated between a film of base material and a release liner, which is laminated between cooled rollers to form a tape.

Abstract: A article for wrapping objects comprising a plurality of layers, including a first layer of a wrap material, an intermediate layer of an adhesive material and an inner layer of a solids material, said article providing resistance to cathodic disbondment from said object at least equal to an adhesive bearing wrap applied with a solvent based primer.
