Claim:
1. A method for jacketing an elongate material, the method comprising: providing an adhesive tape consisting of a textile carrier and a pressure-sensitive adhesive by applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive, in a form of a dried polymer dispersion, onto at least one side of the textile carrier, wherein the polymer is synthesized from: a) 5% to 25% by weight of ethylene, b) 30% to 69% by weight of alkylacrylic ester having C c) 20% to 55% by weight of vinyl acetate, and d) 0% to 10% by weight of other ethylenically unsaturated compounds, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive comprises between 30 and 50 parts by weight of a tackifier, based on the mass of the dried polymer dispersion, wherein the tackifier used is tackifier resins based on terpene phenols and/or rosin esters having a softening point of more than 80° C. and equal to or less than 99° C., in accordance with ASTM E28-99 (2009); and jacketing the elongate material with the adhesive tape by passing the adhesive tape in a helical line around the circumference of the elongate material such that the adhesive tape is bonded around the elongate material, wherein the adhesive tape has an unwinding force value in the range from about 3 to 9 N/cm, at a take-off speed of 30 m/min and a threshold flagging time value of at least 2001 minutes.
