OPTICALLY DETECTABLE ADHESIVE TAPE WITH REDUCED GLOSS PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to an adhesive tape for flying splice of flat web material which has been wound to form rolls, the adhesive tape comprising at least one carrier layer and a layer of adhesive, at least part of that surface of the carrier layer that faces that layer of adhesive being optically detectable, or optically detectable means being provided between the carrier layer and the layer of adhesive, and the layer of adhesive being designed such that the optical detection can be made through the layer of adhesive. In accordance with the invention the adhesive tape is modified such that its gloss value, i.e. the ratio of directed fraction and diffusely reflected fraction of the light stream incident on the surface, on the external surface of the layer of adhesive is reduced by at least 20% relative to an unmodified adhesive tape of otherwise identical construction.
