Abstract
The present invention provides a method for reinforcing a substrate, which includes the step of coating at least a portion of the surface of the substrate with a layer of material that is curable by a high-energy-radiation. The coating material is cured with a suitable source of the high-energy-radiation to form a reinforcement layer affixed to the substrate. The reinforced substrate is particularly useful in the attachment zone of a refastenable, pressure-sensitive tape closure systems.
