Abstract

An adhesive tape comprising at least a three-layer product structure having the following layers A, B, and C with the layer sequence ABC: Layer A: heat activatable adhesive having a characteristic activation temperature T A of at least +30° C., Layer B: crosslinked polyurethane carrier material, Layer C: polyacrylate PSAs having a static glass transition temperature T G,C of not more than +15° C.

Claims (14)

1. An adhesive tape comprising at least a three-layer product structure having the following layers A, B, and C with the layer sequence ABC:

Layer A: heat activatable adhesive having a characteristic activation temperature T A of at least +30° C.,

Layer B: crosslinked polyurethane carrier material,

Layer C: pressure sensitive adhesive based on polyacrylates, polymethacrylates or both, having a static glass transition temperature T G,C of not more than +15° C.

2. The tape as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the layers A and C is attached by chemical bonding to the polyurethane carrier layer B.

3. The tape as claimed in claim 2 , wherein both the layers A and C are attached by chemical bonding to the polyurethane carrier layer B.

4. The tape as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat activatable adhesive of layer A is based on poly-α-olefins or poly(meth)acrylates.

5. The tape as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane carrier layer B is based on a polymer of polyfunctional isocyanates and polyols.

6. The tape as claimed in at claim 1 , wherein least one of the adhesives of layers A or C is a polyacrylate which is based on a monomer mixture containing at least 70% by weight of acrylates, methacrylates, their free acids, or a combination thereof, of the general formula

CH 2 =C(R 1 )(COOR 2 )

where R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is H or alkyl chains having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the monomer compositions are chosen such that the respective conditions for the activation temperature T A and/or the glass transition temperature T G,C of the resulting adhesives are met.

7. The tape as claimed in claim 6 , wherein for R 2 alkyl chains having from 4 to 14 carbon atoms are chosen.

8. A method of bonding two different substrates to one another, which comprises bonding said substrates with the adhesive tape of claim 1 .

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first of said two substrates is a rubber article, the second of said two substrates is a substrate to which polyacrylates adhere, and the heat activatable layer serves to bond the rubber article.
