The present invention relates to a cosmetic article (10A; 10B), intended to be applied on a body area (12) of a user, comprising a decorative layer (18) and an adhesive layer (20).

The decorative layer (18) has through openings (24) and being formed of a textile material.

The adhesive layer (20) is formed by a biocompatible adhesive, the adhesive layer (20) being applied on one side of the decorative layer (18) and having through openings (26), at least some of the through openings (26) of the adhesive layer (20) respectively facing the through openings (24) of the decorative layer (18).

The decorative layer (18) comprises a number of through openings (24, 26) per dm.sup.2 between 500 and 10000, and has an opening rate between 20% and 95%.

An adhesive tape that provides a unique easy end locator which enables the user to find the terminal end of a tape. The adhesive tape is formed of multiple segments, where each segment includes a backing material that is the carrier of an adhesive layer, with perforations defined transversely across the longitudinal length of the backing to define multiple segments. Each segment has a unique, effortless end locator, a small area free of adhesive, located at the beginning of each segment, being an integral part of the backing material. The perforations may be made at predetermined length between a preceding segment and a subsequent. The predetermined length may be a uniform length. The final product may be carried on a core and formed into a roll. The tape can be used in fields where a predetermined length is desired. The lengths of multiple tapes can cover unlimited areas of use.

Stretch-release adhesive articles with tunable mechanical properties are provided. The articles include a stretchable carrier extending along a first direction and including a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. At least one of the first and second major surfaces of the stretchable carrier is a stretch-releasable adhesive surface, and the stretchable carrier includes a pattern of slits distributed thereon and configured to deform upon a stretch on the stretchable carrier to elongate the stretchable carrier.

A tape is provided having a long shape in which a bond portion is formed on at least one surface. The tape includes a first slit row including a plurality of slits formed intermittently along a longitudinal direction, and a second slit row including a plurality of slits formed intermittently along a longitudinal direction and parallel to the first slit row. A portion without having a slit formed in the first slit row is arranged so as not to overlap a portion without having a slit formed in the second slit row.

A laminate comprises a wicking fabric and a polymeric film adhered to both sides of the wicking fabric, wherein the wicking fabric comprises a plurality of holes, the polymeric films on both sides of the wicking fabric are fused together at each hole, and the laminate functions as an air barrier when measured in accordance with ASTM E2178-13, and allows the passage of liquid water as per ASTM E2273-18.

An electronic device that includes: a housing; an electronic component; and a double-sided tape interposed between the housing and the electronic component and attaching the electronic component to the housing, wherein the double-sided tape has at least one cut extending from an outer peripheral edge to an inner portion of the double-sided tape in a plan view of the double-sided tape.

Peel-away tape includes a double-sided adhesive tape with a perforated design and a peel-away backing that includes liftable tabs to assist in the removal thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the tape and peel-away backing is perforated on equidistant intervals. A small tab located at the center of each perforation extends over the perforation line which, when separated, extends outward where it can be grasped.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer includes crater portions, each crater portion being concavely formed on an adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A surface of the crater portion has a plurality of through holes.

Various flexible heat sealable decorative articles and methods of making the same are described. The flexible heat sealable decorative articles are lightweight and can be combined with other decorative elements, such as metalized films. Various decorative are mixed or combined with one another to form highly attractive flexible heat sealable decorative articles.

An adhesive strip for application to an object, more particularly for application to an object with a strongly curved and/or angled surface or an object with a large surface area is disclosed. Methods of manufacturing and applying such an adhesive strip are disclosed as well. The adhesive strip includes a carrier structure with two opposite main expansion surfaces. At least one main expansion surface has an adhesive. Formed in the carrier structure are several weakened points penetrating the carrier structure from one main expansion surface in the direction of the other main expansion surface. The carrier structure is expandable in one tangential plane of one of the main expansion surfaces.
