Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive article that includes: a backing having two major surfaces, at least one of which has a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed thereon, the pressure sensitive adhesive layer having an average thickness of 25 microns to 50 microns and including: a styrene-isoprene-containing block copolymer including a styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer and a styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer; a tackifier; and an oil; an article that includes recycled corrugate having the pressure sensitive adhesive article adhered thereto; a method of sealing a package using the pressure sensitive adhesive article; and a method of making the pressure sensitive adhesive article.

Abstract: A polymeric film having a plurality of perforations, which are specially structured and arranged is described. The polymeric film provides a strong, high-tensile strength material that permits hand tearing of the film along a desired tear path, providing a controlled tear propagation line. The polymeric film may also be incorporated into a multi-layer film having cloth-like properties of strength and tear propagation, and is suitable for use various adhesive tape applications. Methods of making the polymeric film are also disclosed.
