The present invention relates to an adhesive tape which is low in cost and the properties of which such as unwindability, adhesiveness, trimmed clearance, printability, transparency and longitudinal tearing strength are improved without spoiling lateral hand cutting characteristics, wherein a smooth surface is formed on one side of a polyolefin resin base film and an uneven surface is formed on the other side thereof, the latter being coated with an adhesive and having an uneven depth of 0.03-0.30 mm and an uneven interval of 0.5-5.0 mm, the melt index of polyolefin resin being 0.2-20 g/10 min. and a surface wetting tension of the smooth surface of the polyolefin resin base film being less than 30 Dyn/cm and that of the uneven surface being more than 35 Dyn/cm.

Adhesive tape

An insect pest-repelling film or sheet is disclosed, having a reflective spectrum in a ultraviolet region of a wavelength of less than 0.4 .mu.m, particularly a reflective spectrum peak at a wavelength of less than 0.4 .mu.m, a reflective spectrum having not less than 1.4 of a ratio (R.sub.A /R.sub.B) of the ultraviolet reflectance (R.sub.A) and a visible light reflectance of a wavelength of 0.5 .mu.m (R.sub.B) and a visible light transmission of not less than 40%. The film is useful as a cover of houses and tunnels or mulching of ground for crop culture or as a repellent for various insect pests in agriculture, forestry, and gardening.
