摘要

Reinforced articles particularly adapted for use in combination with an adhesive to form reinforced adhesive tape articles that are stretchable as well as hand-tearable along with being highly conformable and cinchable.

主权项

1. A conformable reinforced article for use in a reinforced tape, the reinforced article comprising: a backing layer having opposing first and second major surfaces wherein the backing layer is a continuous elastomeric polymeric film and the material of the backing layer is selected from the group consisting of polyolefin elastomers, polypropylene elastomers, polyvinyl elastomers, polyurethane elastomers, and any combination thereof; and, an elastomeric polymeric reinforcing material layer carried along at least one of the first and second major surfaces, wherein the reinforcing material layer is made of a reinforcing scrim material, and wherein the reinforced article exhibits hand-tearability in straight or transverse directions with respect to the length of the article, an elongation extension at break of about 25 to 60%, and a tensile strength greater than about 10 lb/in (17 N/cm) at break.
