PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE TAPE AND A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

This invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, more particularly, a tape having a biaxially-oriented backing, and a process for preparing pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. This invention provides a tape (10) comprising a biaxially-oriented backing (12) made from a polymeric film bearing on one major surface thereof a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) and on the other major surface thereof a layer of low-adhesion backsize composition (14). The backing and the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive intermix so as to form a commingled layer (18) between them. This invention also provides a process of preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.
