  • Patent number: 6309745
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive tape for redetachable closure or fixing, comprising a strip-like carrier (1), which is being coated with a self-adhesive agent (2), at least on the active area which during use of the adhesive tape is brought into contact with a counter surface (7), and also relates to the adhesive tape as such.
