Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An adhesive tape for jacketing an elongated item, more particularly cable sets, comprises a tapelike carrier which is characterized in that the tapelike carrier is provided on at least one side with a binder which is thermally softenable at a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. and comprises a polycaprolactone.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for jacketing an elongated item such as more particularly leads or cable sets, where a coated tape is softened by the supply of heat at a temperature between 60° C. and 100° C. and subsequently is guided in a helical line around the elongated item or the elongated item is wrapped in an axial direction by the adhesive tape, the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapping is brought into the desired disposition, the elongated item is held in this disposition until the adhesive tape has resolidified by cooling. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curable adhesive is softened by the supply of thermal energy at a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal energy is supplied over a period of 0.5 sec to 2 min. 4. A cable harness jacketed with an adhesive tape producible by a method according to claim 1 . 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the elongated item together with the adhesive tape wrapper is brought into the disposition of a cable set plan.
