High strength adhesive tape

Abstract

A high strength adhesive tape. The high strength adhesive tape includes a scrim layer and a fabric layer. The high strength adhesive tape also includes a first adhesive layer, where the first adhesive layer attaches the fabric layer to the scrim layer. The high strength adhesive tape further includes a second adhesive layer, where the second adhesive layer is configured to form a bond between the high strength adhesive tape and an external object.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Adhesive tape is a common household item and used for a variety of tasks. For example, common types of adhesive tape such as masking tape and duct tape are found in countless homes and workplaces. For these tapes, the three specifications that are the most important are: 1) adhesive strength; 2) ability to rip or cut pieces; and 3) strength of tape during use. For example, with masking tape adhesive is the key element to its usefulness, as it allows the tape to be easily removed without leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied. In contrast, duct tape normally has a stronger adhesive and is stronger during use. Therefore, masking tape is used in temporary settings (such as creating borders during painting) whereas duct tape is sued in more semi-permanent and permanent settings (such as during a repair).[0003]Nevertheless, existing adhesive tapes still suffer from a numbe...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a high strength adhesive tape that includes a scrim layer and a fabric layer, with two adhesive layers. The first adhesive layer attaches the fabric layer to the scrim layer, while the second adhesive layer forms a bond with an external object. The claimed technical effect is an adhesive tape that provides strong bonding power and durability, making it useful in various applications. The method of producing the adhesive tape is also described, involving coating the scrim layer and fabric layer with adhesive and using an anti-stick agent on the second side of the scrim layer.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, existing adhesive tapes still suffer from a number of problems.

For example, tape that is easy to tear will eventually fail in most repairs.

Making something much stronger than duct tape but still cost competitive and easy for consumers to use is extremely difficult.

In addition, tapes tend to become stressed when exposed to extremes in temperatures, such as in outdoor applications.
