Abstract:
A pressure-sensitive adhesive coated substrate comprising a nonwoven backing substrate comprising conjugate multicomponent melt spun fibers having at least one pressure-sensitive adhesive component region forming at least a portion of the outer surface of the multicomponent fibers and at least one non-adhesive component region, the conjugate multicomponent fibers being distributed throughout the width dimension of the nonwoven backing substrate such that the adhesive component region is exposed on both outer faces of the nonwoven backing substrate, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer coated onto at least one face of the nonwoven backing substrate which pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has adhesive properties to the adhesive component region of the multicomponent melt spun fibers.
