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.
Claims11
A splittable splice tape comprising:
- a first support layer having an outer major surface and an inner major surface;
- a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer coupled to and in contact with the outer major surface of the first support layer;
- a second support layer including an outer major surface and an inner major surface, wherein the inner major surface of the second support layer is in contact with the inner major surface of the first support layer;
- a first bond coupling the inner major surface of the first support layer to the inner major surface of the second support layer;
- a second pressure sensitive adhesive layer coupled to and in contact with the outer major surface of the second support layer;
- and
- a second bond coupling the outer major surface of the second support layer to the second pressure sensitive adhesive layer;
- wherein the first bond is weaker than the second bond;
- and
- wherein a bond strength of the first bond is between 0.01 oz. per inch and 5 oz. per inch of a width of the splittable splice tape.
