DRYWALL TAPE WITH UNCOVERABLE ABSORBENT LAYER

摘要

A self-adhesive wall board joint tape (54) has a paper base layer (56) with a mud or plaster receptive surface (58), the other surface (60) has a pressure sensitive adhesive (62). A transfer liner (57) is applied with a release surface (64) against the adhesive surface of the paper base layer, and is coated on the opposite side with a low-tack releasable adhesive (66). When wound into rolls (68) the transfer liner low tack adhesive (66) engages the untreated surface (58) of an underlying base layer. The pull strength of the low-tack adhesive (66) is selected to be greater than the pull strength of the high-tack adhesive (62) on the release surface (64) of the transfer liner (57). When unwound from the roll the transfer liner (57) is adhered to the non-adhesive paper base layer (58), and the adhesive high-tack surface (62) of the paper base layer is presented for immediate adhesion, without the need to remove a backing.
