Adhesive tape for flying splice

An adhesive tape suitable for on-the-fly roll changeover of flat web material wound up into rolls,

• comprising a carrier layer having a first surface and a second surface,
• there being provided on the side of the first surface of the carrier layer, indirectly or directly, over at least part of the area, a first layer of adhesive,
• and the second surface of the carrier layer having one or more areas on which a second layer of adhesive is provided,
• wherein
• the adhesive tape has regions (“predetermined breakage areas”) suitable for areal splitting,
• by at least those areal regions of the second surface of the carrier layer on which the second layer of adhesive is provided having been modified with a surface coating,
• the surface coating is present over an area less than the entirety of the second surface,
• the second layer of adhesive is provided in the form of one or more uninterrupted stripes on the second surface of the carrier layer,
• the surface coating is provided exclusively in the regions of the second surface of the carrier layer that are covered by the stripe of adhesive, and
• the forces of adhesion of the lower layer of adhesive to the surface coating being greater than the forces of adhesion of the surface coating to the carrier layer,
• and/or the forces of adhesion of the lower layer of adhesive to the surface coating being greater than the forces of cohesion within the surface coating.
