Abstract

An adhesive tape comprising a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and an adhesive applied to the top or the bottom surface of the substrate. The adhesive comprises a tackifying resin. The tackifying resin comprises a rosin resin, a rosin resin derivative, a terpene resin, a heat reactive phenolic resin, a petroleum-based resin, or a combination thereof. Rosin resin derivatives include a rosin ester, a rosin metal salt, a hydrogenated rosin ester, a partially hydrogenated rosin, or a combination thereof. In another aspect, the adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive, and the adhesive tape is a masking tape. The adhesive tape is particularly suitable for adhesion to surfaces painted with paint having low or no volatile organic compounds.
