  • Patent number: 9920223
    Abstract: A double-sided adhesive tape having a first outer impact-adhesive side and a second outer side that can be heat activated, comprising an at least two-layer product structure comprising the layers A and B. Layer A is an impact-adhesive layer chemically cross-linked by means of thermal initiation or an impact-adhesive carrier layer chemically cross-linked by means of thermal initiation. Layer B is a layer on the basis of a thermoplastic plastic. Layer A and layer B are in direct contact with each other, and the surface of layer B that is in direct contact with layer A has been corona- or plasma-pretreated. The double-sided adhesive tape is characterized in that the corona or plasma pretreatment is performed in an atmosphere comprising nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or a noble gas or a mixture of at least two of said gases.

  • Publication number: 20100081208
    Abstract: A multirange indicator is proposed which permits quantitative dose determination of high-energy actinic radiation, where the dose for different wavelength ranges can be respectively determined in parallel. To this end, the multirange indicator has two indicator systems designed with mutually corresponding properties, thus eliminating any mutual distortion of the results of the dose measurements. The first indicator system is based on a photolatent Lewis acid or photolatent Lewis base, and the second indicator system is based on a polysubstituted triphenylmethane dye. Both the multirange indicator and its use for the production of various dose-measurement devices are described.
