  • Patent number: 8182450
    Abstract: The label is executed as strip-shaped and adhered as directed in a self-overlapping fashion to a syringe body (1) which is inserted in a syringe protector formed from an insert (5) and a receiver (4). In the longitudinal direction of the strip it successively has a base section (11), two voucher sections (12a, 12b), a protective section (13), a holding section (14) and a grip tab (15). The label can be unrolled and pulled out from the syringe protector by a grip tab (15) so that the voucher sections (12a, 12b) are freely accessible. If necessary, after inserting the syringe body (1) into the syringe protector, the grip tab (15) can be extracted through lateral openings (24, 25) to a certain extent by gently turning the syringe body (1) relative to the syringe protector and then gripped since the grip tab (15) is at some distance after sticking the label onto the syringe body (1).

  • Publication number: 20120111622
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet for use in a wiring circuit board, which includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising an acrylic polymer and a tackifier resin containing a phenolic hydroxyl group; and a release liner comprising a releasing treatment layer formed of a silicone release agent. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet of the invention has a good adhesiveness and, even after a high-temperature step, it is capable of exerting an excellent anti-repulsion property. Further, since the release liner can be easily peeled off even after the high-temperature step, the workability is excellent and the productivity is improved.
