Adhesive tape for jacketing elongate material such as especially cable looms and jacketing method

Abstract

An adhesive tape, especially for wrapping cables, consisting of a preferably textile carrier and of a pressure-sensitive adhesive which is applied on at least one side of the carrier and is in the form of a dried polymer dispersion, the polymer being synthesized from: a) 40% to 90% by weight of n-butyl acrylate and/or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate b) 0% to 10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an acid or acid-anhydride function c) 60% to 10% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monofunctional monomers different from (a) and (b) d) 0% to 1% by weight of a difunctional or polyfunctional monomer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising between 15 and 100 parts by weight of a tackifier (based on the mass of the dried polymer dispersion).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to adhesive tapes for covering elongate objects, such as more particularly cable harnesses on motor vehicles, and to methods of covering. Background technique [0002] Adhesive tapes have long been used in the industry for the production of cable harnesses. In this application, the tape serves to bind multiple electrical conductors by wrapping them before installation or after they have been installed, in order to reduce the space taken up by the wire bundle, and additionally to provide protection. [0003] The testing and classification of tapes for cable wrapping is adopted in the motor vehicle industry according to several institutional standards, such as LV312-1 as a joint standard of Daimler, Audi, BMW and Volkswagen AG: "Protection systems for wire harnesses in motor vehicles, adhesive tapes; test guideline (10 / 2009)", or Ford specification ES-XU5T-1A303-aa (revision, 09 / 2009): "Harness Tape Performance Specificatio...
