Abstract
The present invention provides an article which includes a body of material, and a heat sensitive material which is secured to the body of material with a hot melt adhesive. The hot melt adhesive is disposed on a surface of the thermally-elasticizable material to provide a heat recoverable, elastomeric tape. The tape can be adhesively secured to a selected body with the hot melt adhesive, and can then be activated by an application of heat to shrink and render the tape elastic.
