HEAT-REFLECTIVE ADHESIVE PRODUCT HAVING HIGH ABRASION-RESISTANCE

摘要

Disclosed is an adhesive product useful to protect elongate material, for example, leads and cable harnesses, from ambient heat. The adhesive product has the form generally of a tube when expanded, or of a tape when flattened. The adhesive product has an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a cylindrical interior space when the adhesive product is expanded, and, for all practical purposes, being non-existent when the adhesive product is fully flattened. The outer surface of the adhesive product is heat-reflective, and the inner surface is abrasion-resistant. In this embodiment, the cylindrical interior space is empty yet fillable. Also disclosed is a method of protecting an elongate material in need of protecting from ambient heat. The method comprises sliding the inventive adhesive product over said elongate material.

主权项

1. An adhesive product that can be expanded from a flattened state and flattened from an expanded state, said adhesive product having the form generally of a tube when expanded, or of a tape when flattened, the adhesive product comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, and at least one adhesive between said outer surface and said inner surface, said inner surface defining a generally cylindrical interior space when the adhesive product is expanded, said outer surface being heat-reflective, said inner surface being abrasion-resistant, and said generally cylindrical interior space being empty but fillable.
