Sealing material, assembly and use of a sealing material

An article of manufacture for sealing a screw passage through at least two components clamped together by a screw disposed in the screw passage, the article comprising:

• a) a plurality of sealing materials, each sealing material having:
• a first layer having a thickness d1 and formed by a textile fabric comprising synthetic fibers, wherein the synthetic fibers are polyester fibers;
• a second layer having a thickness d2 and formed by an adhesive material comprising an adhesive based on butyl rubber and/or epoxy resin, wherein the second layer is in contact with the first layer such that the textile fabric of the first layer is not completely penetrated by the adhesive material thereby providing a first side of the sealing material that is not sticky;
• and
• at least one preformed hole for a screw completely extending through the first layer and the second layer:
• wherein the first and second layers are capable of penetrating one another due to a clamping force applied perpendicular to the extension of the layers by the screw such that a sealing layer is formed having a thickness D where 0.9·d1≤D≤1.1·d1;
• b) a removable carrier material disposed on a sticky second side of the sealing material, thereby facilitating storage and handling of the sealing material until said carrier material is removed to expose the sticky second side of the sealing material to one of said at least two components having the screw passage, wherein the removable carrier material is in a form of a continuous layer of a disposable paper or film, and having arranged thereon the plurality of the sealing materials wherein the sealing materials are separated from one another by free regions of the carrier material that have no sealing material.
