Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cutting a sheet metal blank from a sheet metal strip (1) continuously conveyed in a transport direction (T), by means of at least one laser cutting device (3), having the following steps: providing a laser cutting device (3) with at least one laser cutting head (5) which has a cutting nozzle (7) and which can be moved along a cutting path (S1, S2, S1?, S2?) specified so as to correspond to the geometry of the sheet metal blank by means of a controller (6), incrementally measuring the distance between the cutting nozzle (7) and the surface of the sheet metal strip (1) at at least one radially outer position (P1, P2) relative to the cutting nozzle (7) by means of a first distance measuring device (8), controlling the movement of the laser cutting head such that the first distance measuring device (8, 9) constantly remains overlapping the sheet metal strip (1), into a second position, in which the cutting nozzle is overlapping the sheet metal strip (1), wherein the height

Abstract: Foamed pressure-sensitive adhesive tape having outstanding flame retardancy values and also very good technical adhesive properties comprising a foamed layer and an outer pressure sensitive adhesive layer wherein the outer pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprises at least 10 wt % of flame retardant and the foamed layer comprises less than 10 wt % of flame retardant or none, based in each case on the total weight of the layer in question.

Abstract: The in-line repair operations in the automotive industry require high-temperature masking tapes which satisfy a particular profile of requirements. Hence such masking tapes must be temperature-stable and must have a high crosslinking potential. Masking tapes employed are tapes coated with thermally crosslinking natural rubber (NR) adhesives which have a crosslinker resin/phenolic resin component.

Abstract: The aim is to achieve enhanced, and more particularly more stable, adhesive bonds or seals of substrates having different characteristics under thermal load. This aim is accomplished by provision of an adhesive tape having a thickness of at least 150 ?m, and exhibiting after storage at 120-150° C. over 60 to 210 days an extendability in machine direction of at least three times its original extent.

Abstract: A self-adhesive protective film for covering paint coats not cured chemically and/or by electron beams or by UV rays, comprising a backing, a self-adhesive composition applied thereto, and a liner web therefor, the self-adhesive composition, after the liner has been removed and immediately before being applied to the paint coat, having a DOI (distinctiveness of image) of at least 60 units, preferably 75 units, and the peel force of the protective film from the finishing clearcoat, before or after the curing of the paint coat not exceeding 4 N/cm.

Abstract: Adhesive tape having a backing material applied to at least one side of which is an adhesive and whose strength in lengthwise direction is reinforced by integrated or added fibers or filaments, characterized in that the adhesive tape on at least one long edge has incisions, the incisions severing per long edge at least one filament aligned substantially parallel to the cut edge.

Abstract: Self-adhesive article for the transit protection of painted car components such as, in particular, bumpers, which are subject to high mechanical stress, having a woven as backing material which is provided on one side in particular with a polyethylene-vinyl acetate self-adhesive composition.

Abstract: Process for the simultaneous treatment of the top and bottom sides of a web of paper support each with a liquid coating material, whereina) the web of paper support is passed through the gap between two rubber rollers rotating in the same direction,b) the top side of the web of paper support is treated with the first coating material by means of a first rubber roller,the first coating material is transferred to the first rubber roller by a first screen roller rotating in the opposite direction,the first coating material is applied to the first screen roller by means of a pouring device,c) the bottom side of the web of paper support is treated with the second coating material by means of a second rubber roller,the second coating material is transferred to the second rubber roller by a second screen roller rotating in the opposite direction,the second coating material is applied to the second screen roller by means of a pouring device.

Abstract: Pressure-sensitive self-adhesive tape comprising a backing which is coated on both sides with pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions and is composeda) in a proportion by weight of up to 50% by weight, in particular from 10% by weight to 40% by weight, of a crosslinked, non-foamed polyurethane,b) in a proportion by weight of from 40% by weight to 70% by weight of fillers,c) in a proportion by weight of from 5% by weight to 30% by weight, in particular from 10% by weight to 25% by weight, of plasticizers and resins, andd) if desired, of further auxiliaries.

Abstract: A moisture-curing hot-melt polyurethane adhesive foam comprising isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymers based on polyester or polyether and having a melting point of 40.degree. to 60.degree. C. or a glass transition point above room temperature, melted together, optionally with a nucleating agent and/or a surfactant, treated with an inert gas under pressure and released in ambient pressure is allowed to cure as a foam whereby a cure rate is achieved of at least ten times that of the composition when not foamed; extremely rapid cure rates are achieved and thick bond lines are readily obtained.
