Tape for insulation jacket and method of insulating an object

A method of securing insulation about an object, the method comprising:

• providing an insulation jacket defining an inner face, an outer face, a first end, a second end and a flap extending between the first end and the second end of the jacket,
• the jacket including a tape assembly having (i) a carrier having a first release face and a second release face, (ii) a primary adhesive disposed along the second release face of the carrier, (iii) a secondary adhesive disposed along the first release face of the carrier, and (iv) a liner having a first release face and a second release face, the liner disposed along the secondary adhesive, the primary adhesive of the tape assembly adhered to the flap of the jacket;
• wherein both the primary adhesive and the secondary adhesive are pattern coated on the second and first faces of the carrier, and the second and first faces of the carrier are 2% to 20% free of adhesive;
• wherein a release level of the first release face of the liner is less than a release level of the second release face of the liner;
• wherein the release level of the second release face of the liner is less than a release level of the first release face of the carrier;
• and
• wherein the release level of the first release face of the carrier is less than a release level of the second release face of the carrier;
• positioning the insulation jacket about the object such that at least a portion of the tape assembly contacts the outer face of the insulation jacket;
• and
• adhering the flap of the insulation jacket to the outer face of the insulation jacket to thereby secure the insulation about the object.
