Abstract: Housing seals and methods seal off a housing interior from a housing exterior. The housing seals and methods comprise a first elastic adhesive strip and a second elastic adhesive strip, the first and second adhesive strips being arranged between a first housing element and a second housing element. The first adhesive strip comprises a first end portion having a first front side and a first edge face, and a second end portion having a second front side and a second edge face, and is arranged between the first housing element and the second housing element such that the second housing element, with the exception of the application gap, in a closed circulation.

The housing seals and methods comprise an elastic adhesive strip that is arranged between a first housing element and a second housing element, wherein the adhesive strip comprises a first end portion having a first edge face, and a second end portion having a second edge face, wherein the adhesive strip and is arranged between the first housing element and the second housing element in such a way that the first and second edge faces lie substantially in a plane, the adhesive strip is arranged between the first housing element and the second housing element in a closed circulation, and the first edge face of the adhesive strip is in contact with the second edge face of the adhesive strip and forms a sealing gap.

Abstract: A self-adhesive edge-protection tape is intended to improve the protective effect for glass edges. This is achieved by providing an adhesive tape which comprises, in sequence directed towards the substrate to be covered, a backing layer (hard phase) and a soft phase comprising a polymer foam, a viscoelastic composition and/or an elastomeric composition, where the thickness of the hard phase is ?150 ?m, the thickness of the soft phase is ?200 ?m and the ratio of the thickness of the soft phase to the thickness of the hard phase is ?4. The invention also relates to a solar module which comprises an adhesive tape according to the invention adhesive-bonded around at least one portion of the edges thereof, and the use of the claimed adhesive tape for the protection of edges of a solar module.
