Abstract: The invention concerns a nonwoven support, in the form of a felt or needle punched product, having a thickness ranging between 0.3 and 1 mm and a surface mass of fibres ranging between 70 and 120 g/m2, and the fibres are embedded in the adhesive over part of the support thickness. The tear strength of the adhesive tape is less than 15 N. The invention is useful for strapping bundles of cables in motor vehicle construction.

Abstract: Adhesive tape comprising a support which is woven from a plurality of threads formed at least in the majority of ethylene polyterephthalate. At least some of the plurality comprise longitudinal threads extending in a longitudinal direction of the adhesive tape. At least some of the plurality comprise transverse threads extending transversely relative to the longitudinal direction. A layer of adhesive covers at least one face of the support. A titre of the longitudinal threads per unit width of the adhesive tape is lower than a titre of the longitudinal threads per unit length of the adhesive tape and at least equal to 2500 dtex/cm. The longitudinal threads are held in place in the transverse direction by the adhesive, so as to give to the adhesive tape a transverse tearing stress of less than 10 N.
