THERMAL-ACTIVATED, PEELABLE ADHESIVE TAPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010886 titled 'THERMAL-ACTIVATED, PEELABLE ADHESIVE TAPE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an adhesive tape that consists of multiple layers, including a first adhesive layer on the upper surface, a second adhesive layer on the lower surface, and a reinforcement layer(s) in between. There is also a thermally activated layer between the first and second adhesive layers, which is made of a thermoplastic polymer such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, modified polyolefin, ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, etc. The thermoplastic layer has a melting point ranging from 60°C to 150°C and a molecular weight between 1,000 and 1,000,000.
- The adhesive tape includes multiple layers: first adhesive layer, second adhesive layer, reinforcement layer(s), and a thermally activated layer.
- The thermally activated layer is made of a thermoplastic polymer and is located between the first and second adhesive layers.
- The thermoplastic layer can be made of various materials, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, modified polyolefin, ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, etc.
- The thermoplastic layer has a melting point ranging from 60°C to 150°C and a molecular weight between 1,000 and 1,000,000.
Potential Applications:
- Packaging industry: The adhesive tape can be used for sealing boxes and packages, providing strong adhesion and reinforcement.
- Construction industry: The tape can be used for bonding and reinforcing materials, such as joining panels or securing cables.
- Automotive industry: The tape can be used for various applications, including bonding interior components or reinforcing parts.
Problems Solved:
- Improved adhesion: The thermally activated layer enhances the bonding strength between the adhesive layers, providing better adhesion.
- Reinforcement: The reinforcement layer(s) and thermoplastic layer add strength and durability to the tape, making it suitable for demanding applications.
- Temperature resistance: The tape can withstand high temperatures due to the thermoplastic layer, ensuring its performance in various environments.
Benefits:
- Strong adhesion: The adhesive tape offers reliable bonding capabilities, ensuring secure and long-lasting connections.
- Versatility: The tape can be used in different industries and applications, providing a flexible solution for various needs.
- Temperature resistance: The thermoplastic layer allows the tape to withstand high temperatures, expanding its usability in different environments.
