Abstract:
1. A fastener assembly for use in a fastener driving tool, comprising: a. a plurality of fasteners; b. a multi-layered structure including wherein the plurality of fasteners are carried on the multi-layered structure; wherein each of the first layer and the second layer have a substantially constant thickness over its length, and the ratio of the thickness of the first layer to the second layer ranges from about 1:25 to about 3:1; wherein the fastener assembly is prepared by a process including a first step of extrusion coating a backing layer with the first polymeric layer and the second polymeric layer, or a first step of co-extruding the first polymeric layer and the second polymeric layer without a backing layer, to form the multi-layered structure; and a second step of engagingly contacting the multilayered structure to the plurality of fasteners; and wherein the first polymeric layer includes a polar functional moiety that provides adhesion to the fasteners.
