Abstract
A conformable, heat-resistant, paintable acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive tape and method for adhering the tape to a substrate is provided. The tape is comprised of a solid acrylic-based carrier including an acrylic-based adhesive on both sides of the carrier, and a conformable, heat-resistant liner adhered to at least one side of the adhesive. In use, the tape is adhered on at least one side to a substrate, painted, and then exposed to elevated temperatures such as those encountered in an automotive, appliance, or other commercial paint bake process. The conformable tape can withstand temperatures up to 300° F. and can be painted without degradation of the adhesive or liner and without a reduction of the adhesive properties of the tape.
