The object of the invention is a method of making a wrapping for an elongated object (1). An adhesive tape (2, 3) comprised of a substrate strip (2) and an adhesive coating (3) at least partially covering the substrate strip (2) is combined with an adhesive-free band (4) to form a laminate (2, 3, 4). The substrate strip (2) and the band (4) at least largely overlap, and at the overlap (U), the first adhesive coating (3) is between the substrate strip (2) and the band (4). According to the invention the first adhesive coating (3) at the overlap (U) between the substrate strip (2) and the band (4) is composed of a plurality of spaced adhesive substrips (3).

The present disclosure relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape comprises a tapelike carrier provided on at least one side with an adhesive layer which consists of a self-adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, characterized in that the self-adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive is a UV-curable composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition: 15 to 50 parts by weight of matrix polymer; 50 to 85 parts by weight of epoxy resin; 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of photoinitiator, with the matrix polymer forming a self-supporting film in which epoxy resin and photoinitiator are embedded.

An adhesive tape for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets, comprises a tapelike carrier which is characterized in that the tapelike carrier is provided on at least one side with a binder which is thermally softenable at a temperature of 50 C. to 100 C. and comprises a polycaprolactone.

An adhesive tape for jacketing elongated items may comprise a tape-like carrier provided on at least one side with a self-adhering adhesive layer which consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The tape-like carrier may additionally be provided on at least one side with a binder that is thermally curable at a temperature of up to 110 C.

The present invention relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape must cure within the operational dictates for further processing, e.g. within 6 min, and after curing must exhibit the required dimensional stability properties. However, the adhesive compositions must not cure during storage itself, since otherwise they can no longer be used. Nor may the curing temperatures be too high, since otherwise the lead insulation, which is often made of PVC, may suffer damage. The invention provides a method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a stretched shrink-wrap film is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the stretched shrink-wrap film, the elongated item together with the shrink-wrap film wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, more particularly into the cable set plan, the elongated item is held in this disposition and the shrink-wrap film is brought to shrink by the supply of thermal energy at a temperature of up to 130 C.

The invention proposes a method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a tape which comprises a moisture-curing binder on a carrier is first impregnated with water and immediately thereafter is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the adhesive tape, the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, more particularly into the cable set plan, the elongated item is held in this disposition, while the curable adhesive cures. Alternatively proposed is a method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a tape which comprises a moisture-curing binder on a carrier is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the adhesive tape, the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, more particularly into the cable set plan, the elongated item is held in this disposition, and the curable adhesive is brought to cure by the supply of moisture.

The subject matter of the present invention is a method and a device for producing an adhesive tape (1). First a material web (2) comprising a carrier tape material is supplied from an unwinding unit (3). The supplied material web (2) is subsequently provided on at least one surface with at least one adhesive strip (4) in a coating unit (6). The material web (2) provided with the adhesive strip (4) is then cut into at least two longitudinal strips with the aid of a cutting device (10) and made up into individual adhesive tapes (1). According to the invention, a sensor (8, 9) scanning the material web is used to align the material web (2) and/or the cutting device (10) in the transverse direction (Q) in such a way that a longitudinal cut (S) respectively produced with the aid of the cutting device (10) is introduced in an exact position into the material web (2).

A distribution cabling tape comprises a resilient polymeric base sheet having a first major surface and a second major surface, the first major surface having a continuous lengthwise channel formed in a first portion thereof. The tape also includes an adhesive layer disposed on a second and third portion of the first major surface, the adhesive layer capable of adhering to a concrete or asphalt surface, such as a road, curb, or walkway.

A sheath for wrapping an elongated object is formed by an adhesive tape having a base strip having inner and outer faces, a first adhesive on the outer face, an adhesive-free overlay strip adhered to the first adhesive coating so as to leave a first exposed edge band on at least one of two longitudinal edges of the tape, and a second adhesive layer covering only part of an area of the inner face.

A distribution cabling tape system comprises a resilient polymeric base sheet having a first major surface and a second major surface, the first major surface being substantially continuous across a side to side width, an adhesive layer disposed on the first major surface, the adhesive layer capable of adhering to a concrete or asphalt surface, and first and second spacer layers arranged in a spaced apart configuration on the adhesive layer to form a continuous lengthwise channel configured to receive at least a portion of at least one distribution cable, each of the first and second spacer layers comprising a second adhesive layer disposed thereon, the second adhesive capable of adhering to a concrete or asphalt surface.
