Abstract
A method of making adhesive tape has a step of first feeding a textile substrate band formed of thermoplastic fibers or filaments from a supply roll in a longitudinal direction. Then at least one longitudinally extending track where the fibers or filaments are melted together and a thickness of the band is reduced is formed in the band. The band formed with the track is thereafter cut into longitudinal strips by longitudinally severing the band at the track with a longitudinal slitter having at least one blade.

A method of making adhesive tape, the method comprising the steps of:
- feeding a textile substrate band formed of thermoplastic fibers or filaments from a supply roll in a longitudinal direction;
- forming in the band with a fuser at least one longitudinally extending track where the fibers or filaments are melted together and a thickness of the band is reduced;
- and
- cutting the band formed with the tracks into longitudinal strips with a longitudinal slitter having at least one blade longitudinally severing the band at each of the tracks.
A method of making adhesive tape, the method comprising the steps of:
- feeding a textile substrate band formed of thermoplastic fibers or filaments in a longitudinal direction;
- forming in the band with a fuser a plurality of parallel and longitudinally extending tracks where the fibers or filaments are melted together and a thickness of the band is reduced;
- and
- cutting the band formed with the tracks with a longitudinal slitter downstream in the direction from the fuser and having a plurality of blades each longitudinally severing the band at a respective one of the tracks.
