Abstract: Disclosed is an agrochemical-containing pressure sensitive adhesive tape 10, including a substrate 11 and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer 12 provided on the substrate 11. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer 12 contains an emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive and a systemic agrochemical. Preferably, the emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive is an acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive or a rubber-based emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive containing latex rubber as a main component. The agrochemical is preferably at least one of an insecticide, a bactericide, an insecticidal and bactericidal agent, a herbicide and a plant growth regulator.

Abstract: The invention discloses a process for one-sided, hot-dip coating which includes guiding and causing a metal sheet to be coated to travel over a molten metal bath by means of a pair of guide rolls disposed above the bath; sucking a hot-dip coating metal inside the molten metal bath by an electromagnetic pump disposed outside the bath and jetting the hot-dip coating metal through the molten metal bath from a nozzle protruding beyond the surface of the bath between the pair of guide rolls; and bringing the hot-dip coating metal thus jetted into contact with the lower surface of the metal sheet over its entire range in its transverse direction while the metal sheet is travelling, thereby forming a coating layer of the hot-dip coating metal on the lower surface of the metal sheet.
