  • Patent number: 6432515
    Abstract: A flexible, multilayered transfer tape is described which contains an auxiliary support, a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and a binder containing a white-pigmented transfer layer having greater adhesion to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than to the auxiliary support. The transfer layer, which contains a binder in addition to a white pigment, is present between the auxiliary support and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The transfer tape is characterized in that a non-white pigment is present in finely dispersed form in either or both of a polymer-bonded interlayer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The polymer-bonded interlayer may be situated between the white-pigmented transfer layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or in the white-pigmented transfer layer itself. Such transfer tapes have significantly improved covering capacity as compared to transfer tapes in which only the white-pigmented transfer layer is tinted.

  • Patent number: 5891562
    Abstract: Described is a multi-layer, flexible transfer tape with a backing and an adhesive layer, wherein between the backing and adhesive layer a bonding agent-containing transfer layer is provided, which adheres more strongly to the adhesive layer than to the backing. With this a) the bonding agent-containing transfer layer and/or b) the adhesive layer contains fine hollow particles and a water-soluble, solid alcohol. Furthermore the invention relates to a suitable process for producing such a transfer tape as well as to special application possibilities of same, in particular in rolled-up form in a hand apparatus. In particular, when used it leads to a transferred layer in which fractures, in particular micro-cracks, are excluded, and in an improvement of the initial adhesion when the transfer tape is used again after it has been stored for a long time.

  • Patent number: 5597633
    Abstract: In order to promote tearing in a clean line of an adhesive film applied by a hand-held device to a substrate by unrolling an adhesive tape from a roller, pressing the tape against the substrate and winding up the carrier of the tape after the adhesive film is stripped therefrom, alginic acid in finely divided form is provided in the adhesive film.

  • Patent number: 5242725
    Abstract: A multilayer flexible marking tape for use in highlighting text or applying colored markings to a paper substrate in which a relatively thin cover layer is applied to a carrier which can be stripped from the cover layer and a relatively thick pressure contact adhesive is applied to the cover layer to adhere to the substrate. The adhesive layer contains a coloring agent, preferably a fluorescent pigment.
