Abstract: A double-sided adhesive tape having a heat-activatable adhesive layer protected with an interliner, in order to allow such tapes to be guided stably over cutting and winding units and also to be stably stored and transported, has a composite system comprising: an adhesive tape (A) comprising: a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer; a release liner situated on the pressure sensitive adhesive layer of the tape (A); and an adhesive tape (B) comprising: a carrier layer, a release layer on one side of the carrier layer, and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the side of the carrier layer opposite the release layer and in direct contact with the heat-activatable adhesive layer of tape (A). Also disclosed is a method for producing a composite system of this kind, and the specific use of the tape (B).

Abstract: A double-sidedly self-adhesive planar element which is intrinsically heatable in a self-regulating way and at the same time has a particularly high flexibility. The planar element has a layer sequence of a posistor heating layer, a contacting layer and an adhesive layer, the contacting layer being a two-dimensional perforate contacting element which within the planar element is therefore present as a contacting element which has not been applied to a backing. Also disclosed is an adhesively bonded assembly of a bonding substrate and a planar element of the aforesaid kind, a method of producing a planar element of the aforesaid kind, and a method of using a planar element of the aforesaid kind for heating an adhesively bonded assembly.

Abstract: A double-sidedly bondable planar element which has an electrical contacting layer via which it is self-regulatingly intrinsically heatable and at the same time has a high flexibility. The particular features of this planar element are that the planar element in the storage condition is adhesive on one side only, and is therefore particularly easy to handle, and that, on bonding, the adhesive passes through cutouts in the contacting layer, and the planar element thus becomes double-sidedly bondable. The invention further provides a method for the bonding of this planar element, including as a key step the passage of the adhesive through the cutouts in the contacting layer, thus turning a single-sidedly adhesive planar element into a double-sidedly adhesive planar element.

Abstract: The invention provides a planar element which is intrinsically heatable and which is particularly suitable for attachment to multi-dimensionally curved surfaces. For this purpose the planar element features particularly high deformability, achieved in accordance with the invention through a planar element having a layer sequence comprising a heating layer and a contacting layer, each of these two layers being composed of a polymeric material based on elastomers and/or on plastic polymers which have a particular elongation at break and at the same time a particular tensile elasticity modulus. Furthermore, the invention provides an adhesively bonded assembly comprising a bonding substrate and a planar element of the aforesaid kind, a method of producing a planar element of the aforesaid kind, and the use of such a planar element for heating an adhesively bonded assembly.
