Transversely tearable fabric-adhesive tape with high abrasion resistance

A woven-fabric adhesive tape for use as a cable-wrapping tape, the woven-fabric adhesive tape consisting of:

• a woven-fabric backing tape consisting of synthetic warp threads and synthetic weft threads;
• and
• an adhesive coating directly applied to at least one-side of the woven fabric backing tape;
• wherein the linear density of the weft threads is greater than the linear density of the warp threads, and the linear density of the warp threads per tape width is less than the linear density of the weft threads per tape length, such that the linear density of the warp threads per tape width is between 2,000 to 4,000 dtex/cm and the linear density of the weft threads per tape length is between 8,000 and 20,000 dtex/cm, the linear density of the weft threads per tape length amounting to four to ten times the linear density of the warp threads per tape width;
• wherein the warp and weft threads cross one another at crossing points and have sufficient integrity without additional fixation to ensure manual tearability in the direction of the weft threads as measured according to LV 312, and the adhesive coating is formed such that it is only a surface coating and hence the adhesive coating does not fix the warp and weft threads relative to each other at their crossing points.
