Abstract: Heat-reflecting adhesive tape, preferably for wrapping elongate material such as, more particularly, leads or cable harnesses, having a tapelike backing composed of an assembly comprising at least one first layer, formed by a glass fabric having a basis weight of 30 to 200 g/m2, and at least one second layer, formed by a metallic layer having a thickness of 10 to 40 ?m and a thermal effectiveness to SAE J2302 at 350° C. of greater than 45° C., having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating applied at least to one side of the backing, and at least one stripe of a covering which is provided on the free side of the adhesive coating and which extend(s) in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive tape and which cover(s) between 20% and 90% of the adhesive coating.

Abstract: Heat-reflecting adhesive tape (1), preferably for wrapping elongate material such as, more particularly, leads or cable harnesses, having a tapelike backing (2) composed of an assembly comprising at least one first layer (2a), formed by a glass fabric having a basis weight of 30 to 200 g/m2, and at least one second layer (2b), formed by a metallic layer having a thickness of 10 to 40 ?m and a thermal effectiveness to SAE J2302 at 350° C. of greater than 45° C., and having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating (3) applied at least to one side of the backing (2), the flexural rigidity of the adhesive tape in longitudinal and transverse direction being less than 500 mN, preferably less than 300 mN (as measured with a Softometer KWS basic 2000 mN from Wolf).
