The invention relates to a method for jacketing strandlike elements (), comprising the method steps of: a) producing or providing a strandlike element (), b) wrapping the strandlike element () with an adhesive tape () to give a wrapped strand (), the adhesive tape () comprising as curable adhesive a radiation-curing and/or thermally curing adhesive, c) arranging the wrapped strand () in one or more holding elements () of a holding arrangement () to establish a predetermined shape and to give a shaped strand (), and d) curing the curable adhesive in the shaped strand () by irradiating the adhesive tape () with electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength λ, to give a jacketed strand (), wherein the one or the two or more holding elements () at least in sections are at least partly transmissive for electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ, wherein the irradiation of the adhesive tape () with the electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ takes place at least partly through the one or the two or more holding elements ().

Method for jacketing strandlike elements

The invention pertains to an adhesive tape, more particularly for wrapping elongate material such as cable harnesses in a motor vehicle, comprising a carrier having a top side and a bottom side, the carrier, based on the cross direction, having a width B, there being provided, on at least one long edge on the bottom side of the carrier, a strip of adhesive which has a width Bof at least 3 mm and at most 30% of the width B, characterized in that as well as the strip of adhesive on the bottom side of the carrier, there is at least one polymer strip which extends over a width Bof at least 60%, preferably 75%, more preferably 90%, very preferably 100%, of the residual width B&#x2014;not coated with the strip of adhesive&#x2014;of the carrier.
