Abstract
Methods and apparatus to form elevated profiles in mounted turn-up raised profile tapes for paper processing. In some embodiments, the raised profile tape may be a combination of a tape substrate coated on one side with a web grabbing adhesive and on the other side with a mounting adhesive and a release liner having a release liner substrate fully coated on a first side with a release layer and zone-coated on a second side with a release layer. In some embodiments, an elevated profile may be formed during the application of the raised profile tape with specialized apparatus.
Claims20
A method for forming a substrate with a three-dimensional profile, the method comprising steps of:
- a. retaining a coil of two-dimensional substrate with an adhesive layer in a dispenser;
- b. dispensing the two-dimensional substrate onto a dimensional forming feature;
- c. reshaping the two-dimensional substrate to form the substrate with a three-dimensional profile based upon a shape of the dimensional forming feature;
- and
- d. adhering the substrate with the three-dimensional profile to a receiving surface of an empty web spool.
