  • Publication number: 20250206991
    Abstract: Adhesive tapes and methods for wrapping cables comprise a textile carrier, optionally provided on an underside with an applied film, and a pressure sensitive adhesive, applied on at least one side of the carrier, in the form of a dried polymer dispersion comprising a polymer being obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising: (a) at least one (meth)acrylic monomer individually yielding a first homopolymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of ?40° C. or less; (b) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer individually yielding a second homopolymer having a Tg of 15° C. or higher; (c) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an acid and/or a hydroxyl functional group; and (d) a chain transfer agent, wherein monomers (a) to (d) are different from each other, and the polymer is mixed with one or more tackifiers.

  • Publication number: 20230416573
    Abstract: Adhesive tapes comprise a textile carrier and a pressure-sensitive adhesive, applied on at least one side of the carrier, in the form of a thickened dried polymer dispersion, wherein the unthickened dried polymer dispersion comprises: (a) 30.0 to 98.0 wt % of monomeric acrylates; (b) 0 to 50.0 wt % of ethylenically unsaturated comonomers which are not acrylates; (c) 1.0 to 10.0 wt % of tackifier; and (d) 1.0 to 10.0 wt % of kaolin, wherein a rheological additive is added to the polymer dispersion so that the polymer dispersion has a viscosity before drying of 40 to 100 Pa*s at a shear rate of 10/s and a viscosity of 3000 to 8000 Pa*s at a shear rate of 0.01/s.
