The invention relates to a strip for covering elongated articles, comprising a carrier in the form of a strip, characterized in that at least one side of the carrier in the form of a strip is provided with a plastic material that thermally softens at a temperature of preferably 100° C. to 135° C. and that comprises a thermoplastic material.

Thermally softenable strip and method for covering elongated articles, in particular lines

The present disclosure relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape comprises a tapelike carrier provided on at least one side with an adhesive layer which consists of a self-adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, characterized in that the self-adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive is a UV-curable composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition: 15 to 50 parts by weight of matrix polymer; 50 to 85 parts by weight of epoxy resin; 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of photoinitiator, with the matrix polymer forming a self-supporting film in which epoxy resin and photoinitiator are embedded.

UV-curable adhesive tape and method for jacketing elongated items, especially leads

An adhesive tape for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets, comprises a tapelike carrier which is characterized in that the tapelike carrier is provided on at least one side with a binder which is thermally softenable at a temperature of 50&#xb0; C. to 100&#xb0; C. and comprises a polycaprolactone.

Thermally softenable adhesive tape and method for jacketing elongated items, especially leads

The present invention relates to an adhesive tape and to a method for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets. The adhesive tape must cure within the operational dictates for further processing, e.g. within 6 min, and after curing must exhibit the required dimensional stability properties. However, the adhesive compositions must not cure during storage itself, since otherwise they can no longer be used. Nor may the curing temperatures be too high, since otherwise the lead insulation, which is often made of PVC, may suffer damage. The invention proposes a method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a tape which comprises a moisture-curing binder on a carrier is first impregnated with water and immediately thereafter is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the adhesive tape, the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, more particularly into the cable set plan, the elongated item is held in this disposition, while the curable adhesive cures. Alternatively proposed is a method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a tape which comprises a moisture-curing binder on a carrier is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the adhesive tape, the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, more particularly into the cable set plan, the elongated item is held in this disposition, and the curable adhesive is brought to cure by the supply of moisture.
