Abstract
A splice tape is provided. The splice tape includes two internal support layers bonded at interface between opposing inner surfaces of the internal support layers. The support layers are formed utilizing a process and/or materials that ensure that the two internal support layers separate cleanly and consistently along the interface of the two internal support layers.
Claims12
A splittable splice tape comprising:
- a first internal support layer including a first polymer material, an outer major surface and an inner major surface;
- a first adhesive layer directly bonded to the outer major surface of the first internal support layer;
- a second internal support layer including a second polymer material, an outer major surface and an inner major surface, wherein the inner major surface of the second internal support layer is directly bonded to the inner major surface of the first internal support layer defining an interface between the first and second internal support layers;
- an anti-adhesion material dispersed within the second polymer material of the second internal support layer, at least some of which is located adjacent the interface;
- and
- a second adhesive layer directly bonded to the outer major surface of the second internal support layer;
- wherein second polymer material is different from the first material and the second polymer material is a cross-linked polymer material;
- wherein the anti-adhesion material decreases bonding between the first polymer material and the second polymer material such that a bond strength between first internal support layer and the second internal support layer along the interface is less than a bond strength between second internal support layer and the second adhesive layer such that upon application of a force away from the interface the splice tape separates in two portions along the interface.
