Painter's masking tape and its use

Abstract

Use of an adhesive film which is detachable by pulling in the direction of the bond plane and a) whose self-adhesive composition is based on thermoplastic rubber and tackifying resins, the said adhesive film having high elasticity and low plasticity, the adhesion being lower than the cohesion, the adhesiveness largely disappearing when the film is extended and the ratio of peel force to tear load being 1:1.5 or more, and b) which carries an extensible nonwoven laminated onto one side of the adhesive composition, as a painter's decorative tape which can be removed again by pulling without residue or damage.

1 . Use of an adhesive film which is detachable by pulling in the direction of the bond plane and 
 a) whose self-adhesive composition is based on thermoplastic rubber and tackifying resins, the said adhesive film having high elasticity and low plasticity, the adhesion being lower than the cohesion, the adhesiveness largely disappearing when the film is extended and the ratio of peel force to tear load being 1:1.5 or more, and    b) which carries an extensible nonwoven laminated onto one side of the adhesive composition,    as a painter's masking tape which can be removed again by pulling without residue or damage.
