High strength adhesive tape

1. A high strength adhesive tape having an upper surface and a lower surface, with the lower surface configured for adhering to an external object, the high strength adhesive tape comprising:

a scrim layer on the upper surface;

a fabric layer between the upper surface and the lower surface;

a first adhesive layer between the scrim layer and the fabric layer, wherein the first adhesive layer attaches the fabric layer to the scrim layer; and

a second adhesive layer on the side of the fabric layer opposite to where the fabric layer is attached to the scrim layer.

2. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer forms the lower surface of the tape and is configured to form a bond between the high strength adhesive tape and the external object.

3. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein expansion rate of the scrim layer is approximately equal to an expansion rate of the fabric layer.

4. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the scrim layer comprises a film.

5. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 4 , wherein the scrim layer comprises a polyethylene terephthalate film.

6. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 4 , wherein the film is transparent.

7. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 4 , wherein the film comprises designs of an aesthetic nature or is colored.

8. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the scrim layer comprises a fabric.

9. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the scrim layer is between 40 μm and 60 μm thick.

10. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 9 , wherein the scrim layer is approximately 50 μm thick.

11. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the fabric layer comprises polyethylene fabric.

12. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein a grammage of the fabric layer is between 85 g/m 2 and 130 g/m 2 .

13. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 12 , wherein a grammage of the fabric layer is between 105 g/m 2 and 110 g/m 2 .

14. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive.

15. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein a grammage of the first adhesive layer is between 45 g/m 2 and 65 g/m 2 .

16. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 15 , wherein a gram mage of the first adhesive layer is approximately 55 g/m 2 .

17. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive.

18. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein a grammage of the second adhesive layer is between 70 g/m 2 and 100 g/m 2 .

19. The high strength adhesive tape of claim 18 , wherein a gram mage of the second adhesive layer is approximately 85 g/m 2 .

20. A method of producing a high strength adhesive tape, the method comprising:

providing a scrim layer;

coating a first side of the scrim layer with an adhesive;

treating a second side of the scrim layer with an anti-stick agent, wherein the second side of the scrim layer is opposite the first layer;

providing a fabric layer;

attaching a first side of the fabric layer to the first side of the scrim layer using the adhesive on the first side of the scrim layer; and

coating a second side of the fabric layer with an adhesive, wherein the second side of the scrim layer is opposite the first layer.

21. The method of claim 20 , further comprising the step of corona treating the fabric layer.

22. The method of claim 20 , wherein attaching the first side of the fabric layer to the first side of the scrim layer includes allowing the adhesive to cure.

23. The method of claim 20 , wherein the anti-stick agent comprises a silicone release agent.

24. The method of claim 20 , wherein the fabric layer includes a design or is colored.
