  • Pressure sensitive adhesive transfer tape containing organic filaments
    Patent number: 4557960
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tape of the prior art has an adhesive layer containing uniformly dispersed glass monofilaments which randomly cross each other but are predominantly oriented in the lengthwise direction of the tape and generally lie in straight lines. In contrast, the monofilaments of the transfer tape of the present invention are organic and have a randomly disposed, individually arcuate configuration as shown in FIG. 2. Unlike the prior tape, the novel tape can have high adhesion and shear values and yet be dispensed from an ordinary adhesive transfer gun.
