  • Patent number: 11965121
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape comprises a tapelike carrier provided on at least one side with an adhesive layer which consists of a self-adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, characterized in that the self-adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive is a UV-curable composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition: 15 to 50 parts by weight of matrix polymer; 50 to 85 parts by weight of epoxy resin; 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of photoinitiator, with the matrix polymer forming a self-supporting film in which epoxy resin and photoinitiator are embedded.

  • Patent number: 11680189
    Abstract: An adhesive tape for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets, comprises a tapelike carrier which is characterized in that the tapelike carrier is provided on at least one side with a binder which is thermally softenable at a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. and comprises a polycaprolactone.

  • Patent number: 11466177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape must cure within the operational dictates for further processing, e.g. within 6 min, and after curing must exhibit the required dimensional stability properties. However, the adhesive compositions must not cure during storage itself, since otherwise they can no longer be used. Nor may the curing temperatures be too high, since otherwise the lead insulation, which is often made of PVC, may suffer damage.

  • Publication number: 20220282127
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for jacketing elongate articles, such as lines or cable harnesses in particular, by means of an adhesive tape comprising a tape-shaped substrate, which substrate has, on at least one side, a thermally curable, meltable, preferably pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the adhesive layer comprising an epoxide-functionalized acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer which has on average more than 1.5 epoxide groups per molecule and comprising the reaction product of phthalic anhydride and diethylene-triamine, the adhesive tape being led in a helix around the elongate article or the elongate article being enveloped by the adhesive tape in the axial direction, the elongate article together with the enveloping adhesive tape being brought into the desired arrangement, in particular into the cable harness plan, the elongate article being held in this arrangement, and the curable adhesive mass being cured by supplying thermal energy, in particular at a temperature of up to 110° C.
