Adhesive tape for producing a joint during a static reel change

Abstract

In order to provide an adhesive tape ( 10 ) for producing a joint during a static reel change between two flat web materials ( 40, 41 ) wound up onto reels, having a carrier ( 11 ) and a self-adhesive compound ( 12 ), with which the exposure of the self-adhesive compound ( 12 ) during the further processing of the webs ( 40, 41 ) bonded to each other is avoided, it is proposed that, in the self-adhesive compound ( 12 ), a gap be formed in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive tape ( 10 ), in order to form two self-adhesive compounds ( 12 ) having a spacing (V), as viewed in the width of the adhesive tape ( 10 ). Furthermore, a corresponding method is proposed.

1 . (canceled)  
   
   
       2 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the adhesive tape comprises a cleavable system on a side of the carrier opposite that to which the self-adhesive compound is adhered.  
   
   
       3 . Method according to  claim 2 , wherein the carrier is wider than the cleavable system.  
   
   
       4 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the self-adhesive compound has a holding time of at least 1000 min. on coating body paper and at least 2000 min. on gravure printing paper, in each case measured at 23° C., and 55% relative atmospheric humidity and under 1 kg loading (F).  
   
   
       5 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the self-adhesive compound is applied to the carrier in an amount of 20 to 60 g/m 2 .  
   
   
       6 . Method according to  claim 5 , wherein the self-adhesive compound is applied to the carrier in an amount of 25 to 50 g/m 2 .  
   
   
       7 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the self-adhesive compound comprises an acrylate base.  
   
   
       8 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the self-adhesive compound is applied to the carrier by strip coating.  
   
   
       9 . Method according to  claim 13 , wherein the carrier is a tear-resistant paper or film carrier.  
   
   
       10 . Method according to  claim 13 , which further comprises a covering for the self-adhesive compound.  
   
   
       11 . Method according to  claim 10 , wherein the covering comprises a perforation and/or a slit in a longitudinal direction of the adhesive tape.  
   
   
       12 . (canceled)  
   
   
       13 . A method for joining two webs, said method comprising adhering an end of each of the two webs to an adhesive tape, wherein the adhesive tape comprises a carrier layer and a self-adhesive compound adhered to at least one side of the carrier layer, the self-adhesive compound adhered to said at least one side of the carrier layer comprises at least two distinct regions of self-adhesive compound separated from each other by a gap having a spacing (V), and the end of one of the webs is adhered to one of said at least two distinct regions and the end of another of the webs is adhered to another of said at least two distinct regions.
