Structural adhesive tape and method of manufacturing the same
Disclosed are a structural adhesive tape in which a mesh layer is located on one side or both sides of an adhesive layer, and a method of manufacturing the same. The mesh layer having a specific specification may be used and an adhesive layer including an epoxy resin with a solid phase and a liquid phase and a flame retardant plasticizer may be used introduced so that a tape sagging phenomenon can be solved while minimizing degradation in adhesive strength. In addition, the mesh layer may be used so that a usage temperature range may be extended from a range ranging from about 5° C. to about 35° C. to a range ranging from about 0° C. to about 40° C., and thus workability in high and low temperature ranges may be improved such that tape workability can be improved even in overseas factories with poor temperature conditions.
