Process for making an adhesive dressing.

摘要

A process for making an adhesive dressing comprises passing a backing strip continuously through an adhesive application zone applyning an adhesive to one side of the backing strip as it passes continuously through this zone to form an adhesive coated strip; and passing the adhesive coated strip from the adhesive application zone continuously through an adhesive conditioning zone to condition the adhesive , before or after the adhesive conditioning zone, the strip is passed continuously through a pad application zone where pads are applied to the adhesive coated side of the backing strip in such fashion that portions of the adhesive are not covered by the pad(s), thereby to form a padded strip. The padded strip is fed continuously and directly to a release paper application zone, where release paper is applied over at least the adhesive to form a continuous adhesive dressing.
