Tape cassette with wear pad comprising polyolefin sheet and polyamide adhesive layer

摘要

The present invention concerns a magnetic tape cassette housing comprising a polymeric cassette box having an interior surface. The interior surface of the cassette box has been irradiated with an amount of ultraviolet radiation sufficient to impart a priming effect to the interior surface of the cassette box. A wear pad is adhered to the interior surface of the cassette box. The wear pad comprises a low-friction, wear-resistant polyolefin sheet. The wear pad also comprises a polyamide adhesive layer coated on one side of the polyolefin sheet and adhering the polyolefin sheet to the interior surface of the cassette box. In another aspect, the present invention concerns a method of applying a polyolefin sheet to an interior surface of a polymeric cassette box.
