A double-sided adhesive tape having a first outer impact-adhesive side and a second outer side that can be heat activated, comprising an at least two-layer product structure comprising the layers A and B. Layer A is an impact-adhesive layer chemically cross-linked by means of thermal initiation or an impact-adhesive carrier layer chemically cross-linked by means of thermal initiation. Layer B is a layer on the basis of a thermoplastic plastic. Layer A and layer B are in direct contact with each other, and the surface of layer B that is in direct contact with layer A has been corona- or plasma-pretreated. The double-sided adhesive tape is characterized in that the corona or plasma pretreatment is performed in an atmosphere comprising nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or a noble gas or a mixture of at least two of said gases.

A system for dispensing hot melt adhesives, comprising an adhesive dispenser including a fluid passage leading to an outlet. The system further comprises a supply conduit fluidly connected to the fluid passage and a feeding mechanism configured to feed an elongate, flexible element of solid adhesive into the supply conduit. The system further comprises a first heating element positioned along at least a portion of the supply conduit to melt a portion of the elongate, flexible element being fed into the supply conduit and thereby form a supply of liquid adhesive within the supply conduit.

A heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap includes an adhesive layer disposed on the inner surface thereof, the adhesive layer including a low-viscosity adhesive layer formed of a resin having a viscosity of 10 Pa.Math.s or less at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.1 at the heat shrinkage temperature and a viscosity of 100 Pa.Math.s or more at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.1 at the maximum continuous use temperature. The heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap is used for waterproofing an exposed portion of electrical wires of an electrical wire bundle such as a wire harness, in which merely by placing the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap over the exposed portion of electrical wires, waterproofing and water blocking between strands can be achieved, and outflow of the resin during heat shrinking does not occur. A method of waterproofing an electrical wire bundle uses the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap.
