Abstract

An adhesive tape system, for opening cardboard packaging, having an adhesive tape A furnished on at least one side with an adhesive coating and having a film carrier, the film being a polyolefin film oriented monoaxially in the longitudinal direction of the strip, and the film comprising a mixture of an olefinic polymer and a polar nonolefinic polymer. The adhesive tape system also has an adhesive tape B furnished on at least one side with an adhesive coating and having a film carrier, wherein the adhesive tapes A and B are disposed one above the other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A carton consisting of an outer liner and an inner liner, there being disposed between the liners at least one corrugation of card, furnished with an adhesive tape system consisting of:
an adhesive tape A furnished on at least one side with an adhesive coating and having a film carrier, the film carrier being a film oriented monoaxially in the longitudinal direction of the strip, and the film carrier comprises a mixture of an olefinic polymer and a polar nonolefinic polymer; and
an adhesive tape B furnished on at least one side with an adhesive coating and having a film carrier,
wherein the adhesive tapes A and B are disposed one above the other,
wherein the total width of the adhesive tape B is less than the total width of the adhesive A,
wherein the adhesive tape A of the adhesive tape system is applied on the inside of the outer liner, and the adhesive tape B of the adhesive tape system is applied on the outside of the inner liner, so that the adhesive tape B is disposed beneath the adhesive tape A, and
further wherein the adhesive tape A is located between the adhesive tape B and the carton.

2. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein, in the film carrier of the adhesive tape A, a fraction of polar nonolefinic polymer in the mixture of the film carrier of the adhesive tape A is in the range from 5 to 50 wt %.

3. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein the film carrier of the adhesive tape A and the film carrier of the adhesive tape B is a polyolefin film oriented monoaxially in the longitudinal direction of the system, and the film carrier of adhesive tape B comprises a mixture of olefinic polymer and a polar nonolefinic polymer.

4. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein the film carrier of the adhesive tape A has a thickness of 15 to 200 μm.

5. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein, in the film carrier of the adhesive tape A, the olefinic polymer comprises at least 50 wt % of propylene.

6. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein, in the film carrier of the adhesive tape A, the polar nonolefinic polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, polyoxymethylene, polyarylene sulfides, polyarylene oxides, and polyurethanes, wherein the nonolefinic polymer is semicrystalline.

7. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein the film carrier of the adhesive tape B has a tensile strength of 200 N/mm 2 to 300 N/mm 2 , and a stretchability of less than 35%.

8. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein, in the film carrier of the adhesive tape A, the polar nonolefinic polymer is polybutylene terephthalate.

9. The carton according to claim 3 , wherein the film carrier of the adhesive tape A and the film carrier of adhesive tape B are identical.

10. The carton according to claim 4 , wherein the film of the adhesive tape A has a thickness of 50 to 100 μm.

11. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein the film of the adhesive tape A has:
a machine-direction draw ratio of at least 1:4.5;
a machine-direction tensile strength of 200 N/mm 2 to 300 N/mm 2 ; and
a machine-direction stress at 10% strain of at least 80 N/mm 2 .

12. The carton according to claim 1 , wherein the total width of the adhesive tape B is located centrally with respect to the total width of the adhesive tape A producing a symmetrical construction of the system.

13. The carton according to claim 7 , wherein the stretchability of the film carrier of the adhesive tape B is at least 27%.

14. The carton according to claim 13 , wherein the stretchability of the film carrier of the adhesive tape B is no more than 30%.
