Carrier reinforced heat activated adhesive compounds
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an adhesive film comprising a fleece carrier (T) and two layers made of heat activated adhesive compounds ( 1, 2 ) arranged on both sides of the fleece carrier, characterized in that both adhesive compounds ( 1, 2 ) are permeated in the fleece carrier (permeation regions T 1 and T 2 ) such that a total of between 20% and 92% of the fiber intermediate volume of the fleece carrier (T) is saturated by the adhesive compound, providing that the adhesive compounds (T 1 , T 2 ) permeated on both sides of the fleece carrier (T 1 , T 2 ) each make up at least 10% of the fiber intermediate volume of the fleece carrier (T) in the composition.
1. An adhesive sheet comprising a fleece carrier having two sides and a layer of heat-activatable adhesive on each of the two sides of the fleece carrier, wherein both adhesives have penetrated the fleece carrier such that a total of between 40% and 80% of the fiber interstitial volume of the fleece carrier in the adhesive sheet assembly is saturated with adhesive, with the proviso that each adhesive has penetrated a side of the fleece carrier so as to make up at least 10% of the fiber interstitial volume of the fleece carrier in the assembly.
2. The adhesive sheet of claim 1 , wherein the adhesives on both sides of the fleece carrier are identical.
3. The adhesive sheet of claim 1 , wherein each adhesive has penetrated a side of the fleece carrier so as to make up an equal fraction of the fiber interstitial volume of the fleece carrier in the assembly.
4. An adhesive sheet comprising a fleece carrier having two sides and a layer of heat-activatable adhesive on each of the two sides of the fleece carrier, wherein both adhesives have penetrated the fleece carrier such that a total of between 40% and 80% of the layer thickness of the fleece carrier is saturated with the adhesive, with the proviso that on each side of the fleece carrier at least 10% of the fleece carrier thickness is saturated.
5. The adhesive sheet of claim 1 , wherein each heat-activatable adhesive is an adhesive based on one or more thermoplastic polymers.
6. A method of adhesively bonding metal to plastic, glass or metal, said method comprising bonding said metal to said plastic, glass or metal with a heat-activatable adhesive sheet of claim 1 .
7. The method of claim 6 , which comprises adhesively bonding components of electronic devices.
8. An electronics device comprising components adhesively bonded with a heat-activatable adhesive sheet of claim 1 .
9. The adhesive sheet of claim 1 , wherein the heat-activatable adhesive is based on a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyesters, copolyesters, polyamides, copolyamides, and thermoplastic polyurethanes.
