Introduction
Karl W Kreckel is a notable inventor based in Haan, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of adhesive technologies, holding a total of 13 patents. His work has influenced various applications in both consumer and industrial products.
Latest Patents
Among his latest innovations is a removable adhesive tape. This tape features a highly extensible and substantially inelastic backing, along with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive. The backing boasts high tensile strength and a lengthwise elongation at break of at least about 150%, with less than about 50% elastic recovery after stretching. The adhesive is designed to be normally tacky and pressure-sensitive, coated on at least one surface of the film backing. It is highly extensible, ensuring it does not separate from the backing during stretching, and has higher cohesion than adhesion to any suitable substrate. Once applied, the adhesive tape bonds firmly but can be easily removed without damaging the substrate by stretching it in a direction substantially parallel to the surface.
Another notable patent is an image graphic system that comprises a highly tacky adhesive and a method for using it. This system allows for an adhesively mountable image using a highly tacky reusable adhesive surface. The image carrier can be removed from the adhesive carrier, and a subsequent image carrier may be releasably bound to the same adhesive carrier. Kits for this system are also provided, showcasing Kreckel's innovative approach to adhesive applications.
