Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes struggle with insufficient adhesion to complex surface shapes, and issues such as wrinkles, lifting, and tearing during application to large areas, particularly in civil engineering and construction applications.

Innovation Solution

The anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is designed with a base material having specific tensile load and tear strength properties, incorporating a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with sacrificial protective metals like zinc and electroconductive materials like carbon nanotubes, ensuring excellent adhesion and resistance to corrosion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape containing zinc particles and conductive filler is used to achieve sacrificial protectability, then corrosion prevention capability is improved, but adhesion to complex surface shapes deteriorates and wrinkles or tearing may occur during application

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the mechanical parameters of the base material by controlling the difference between tensile load at 2.5% elongation and tensile load at 0.5% elongation to be 1.5 N/mm or more and 6.0 N/mm or less, and setting tear strength to 1.7 N or more. This parameter optimization enables the tape to conform to complex surfaces without wrinkling or tearing while maintaining corrosion prevention capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite base material structure consisting of a resin film with specific mechanical properties. The composite nature of the base material provides both the flexibility needed for complex surface adhesion and the strength needed to prevent tearing during application, while the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing zinc particles provides corrosion protection

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The tape provides enhanced adhesion to complex surfaces, prevents wrinkles and tearing, and maintains adhesive force even under cyclic corrosion and weathering conditions, offering effective corrosion prevention.

Implementation Method 1

an anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprising a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on at least one side of the base material

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

Implementation Method 2

zinc is a metal having a lower potential than that of iron and that zinc thus exhibits the effect of sacrificial protection and has a high anticorrosive property

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectSacrificial protection: Galvanometer

Implementation Method 3

zinc particles and a conductive filler are contained in a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an electronic circuit is formed between a zinc plate as a base material and oxygen and water, thereby achieving sacrificial protectability

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElectrical conduction: Conduction (electrical)
