  • Publication number: 20260091950
    Abstract: A method of making adhesive tape has a step of first feeding a textile substrate band formed of thermoplastic fibers or filaments from a supply roll in a longitudinal direction. Then at least one longitudinally extending track where the fibers or filaments are melted together and a thickness of the band is reduced is formed in the band. The band formed with the track is thereafter cut into longitudinal strips by longitudinally severing the band at the track with a longitudinal slitter having at least one blade.

  • Publication number: 20250109320
    Abstract: Hybrid fibers or filaments are extruded from a granulate mixture of bio-based polymers with petrochemical-based plastic polymers to form a textile substrate band and the band is then provided with an adhesive coating on at least one face of the substrate band to form an adhesive tape. This tape is then wound helically around a cable bundle to form a longitudinally extending wrap of the bundle and impart to the cable bundle an abrasion resistance of at least class C according to LV 319 (2009).

  • Patent number: 12187928
    Abstract: An adhesive tape for bundling cables is made by first making a velour substrate band entirely or partially of bio-based polymer fibers and/or bio-based polymer filament and having a front face from which projects a dense array of loops and a back face. Then an adhesive coating is applied to a back face of the substrate band to make therefrom an adhesive tape meeting abrasion class C of LV 312. This adhesive tape is used by being wound around a plurality of motor-vehicle cables with the adhesive engaging the cables and the front face and loops turned away from the cables.

  • Publication number: 20230054348
    Abstract: A support tape extends longitudinally along an elongated object, is wrapped around the object, and has a pair of opposite longitudinal edges, an inner face engaging the object, and an outer face turned outward away from the object. The support tape is of single-layer design and having a class D abrasion resistance according to LV 312-1. One closure strip of an adhesive compound extends along one of the faces at one of the edges, and another closure strip of an adhesive compound extends parallel to the edges, along the other face, and transversely offset on the other face from the one closure strip. It is adhered to the one closure strip. A fixing strip of an adhesive compound extends longitudinally on the inner face, offset thereon from the one and other closure strips, and adheres the tape to the object.
