Abstract
This article is a self-wound, water dissolvable tape. The tape is substantially removable with water, and may be wound onto a spool without an interleaving layer of release coated material. The tape comprises a water dissolvable, continuous phase substrate having a first surface and a second surface, a water dissovable, continuous phase adhesive layer on the first surface of the substrate, and a water dissolvable, continuous phase abherent layer on the second surface of the substrate.
Claims1
A roll of water dissolvable, self-wound tape comprising a first abherent layer comprising a first, water dissolvable, continuous phase and a second, non-dissolvable, discontinuous phase, a second substrate layer comprising a first, water dissolvable, continuous phase and a second, non-dissolvable, discontinuous phase, and a third layer comprising a water dissolvable pressure sensitive adhesive continuous phase and a second, non-dissolvable, discontinuous phase wound upon a core;
- wherein the water dissolvable, continuous phase substrate has a first surface and a second surface,
- wherein the water dissolvable, continuous phase adhesive layer is on the first surface of the substrate,
- wherein the water dissolvable, continuous phase abherent layer is on the second surface of the substrate, and
- wherein the water dissolvable continuous phase of the abherent layer comprises lecithin, and the discontinuous, non-dissolvable, discontinuous phase comprises polymethyl siloxane;
- wherein the water dissolvable continuous phase of the substrate layer comprises a soluble starch, and the discontinuous phase comprises cellulose fibers,
- wherein the water dissolvable, continuous phase adhesive layer comprises an ionic salt of poly-acrylic acid and the non-dissolvable, discontinuous phase comprises a nondissolvable, high molecular weight acrylic acid.
