Provided is a technique that makes it possible to improve the joining strength between a metal material and a resin while facilitating a process of integrating the metal material and the resin. An adhesive laminate 10 of one aspect of the present invention includes a base material layer 30 including a nonwoven fabric, and an adhesive layer 20 laminated on one main surface of the base material layer and including an adhesive having a glass transition temperature Tg of 40 C. or more and 20 C. or less. An adhesive-impregnated layer 32 impregnated with the adhesive is formed in a part of the base material layer 30 on a side adjacent to the adhesive layer 20. The base material layer 30 has a thickness of 10 to 100 m. A portion 34 not impregnated with the adhesive in the base material layer 30 has a thickness of 5 to 50 m. The adhesive-impregnated layer 32 in the base material layer 30 has a thickness of 5 to 95 m. In addition, the adhesive layer 20 has a thickness of 5 to 60 m.

One closure strip is applied by a nozzle to one face of a textile support tape along one of the face's edges. Another closure strip is applied to the tape's other face offset transversely from the one closure strip and extending parallel to the edges of the tape. Then a fixing strip formed of an adhesive compound is applied to the inner face offset from the one closure strip and from the other closure strip and parallel to the edges. The fixing strip or the other closure strip extending along the other of the edges. Thereafter the taps is wrapped around the object with the inner face against the object, the fixing strip engaging the object and adhering the tape to the object, and the closure strips engaging and stuck to each other

Adhesive tapes and methods for wrapping cables comprising a preferably textile carrier and a pressure sensitive adhesive, applied on at least one side of the carrier, in the form of a dried polymer dispersion comprising a polymer being obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising: (a) 80.75 to 94.89 wt.-% of at least one (meth)acrylic monomer individually yielding a first homopolymer having a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of 40 C. or less (b) 5.00 to 14.00 wt.-% of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer individually yielding a second homopolymer having a T.sub.g of 15 C. or higher (c) 0.10 to 5.00 wt.-% of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an acid and/or a hydroxyl functional group (d) 0.01 to 0.25 wt.-% of a chain transfer agent, wherein each wt.-% is based on a total amount of monomers in the monomer mixture.

Adhesive tapes and methods for wrapping cables comprise a textile carrier, optionally provided on an underside with an applied film, and a pressure sensitive adhesive, applied on at least one side of the carrier, in the form of a dried polymer dispersion comprising a polymer being obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising: (a) at least one (meth)acrylic monomer individually yielding a first homopolymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 40 C. or less; (b) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer individually yielding a second homopolymer having a Tg of 15 C. or higher; (c) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an acid and/or a hydroxyl functional group; and (d) a chain transfer agent, wherein monomers (a) to (d) are different from each other, and the polymer is mixed with one or more tackifiers.

The invention relates to a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising at least one styrenic block copolymer, at least one tackifying resin, at least one mineral oil and from 4 to 15% by weight of at least one wax selected from the group consisting of paraffin waxes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes, ethylene-vinyl acetate waxes and any mixture thereof, based on the total weight of the hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition. The invention also relates to an article comprising a surface coated with such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition, to a use of such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition and to a process for preparing such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition.

A reinforced adhesive film, in particular for applications in the medical field, and method for manufacturing such a film is disclosed. The method for manufacturing a reinforced adhesive film comprises a single main coating step, implemented by a coating device, consisting, in a single pass, in completely embedding a weft formed from a non-woven fabric in a pressure-sensitive adhesive formulation so that the adhesive formulation completely covers both faces of the weft, which allows to obtain rapidly, using a simple manufacturing method, a reinforced adhesive film with advantageous properties in particular in terms of adhesion, strength, conformability and breathability.

Hot-melt adhesive including from 5% by weight to 100% by weight, of at least one copolymer, comprising butene-1 and another olefin selected from C2 to C12. The copolymer has: a Number Average Molecular Weight (Mn) greater than 3,000 g/mol; a butene-1 content not lower than 30% by weight; a Brookfield viscosity at 190 C. of 500 mPa.Math.s to 100,000 mPa.Math.s; a Tensile Stress at Break at 45 C. after five days of aging greater than 7 MPa; an Elongation at Break at 45 C. after five days of aging greater than 800%.
