Patent ID: 8071200

Claim:
A rust-resistant tape comprising: a polymer base layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; a first adhesive layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the lower surface of the first adhesive layer is in contact with the upper surface of the polymer base layer; a rust-resistant masterbatch layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the lower surface of the rust-resistant layer is in contact with a portion of the upper surface of the first adhesive layer; a non-continuous spacer layer having at least two discrete portions, where each portion having an upper surface and a lower surface and where the lower surface of each portion of the non-continuous spacer layer is in contact with the upper surface of the first adhesive layer; and a second adhesive layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the second adhesive layer is non-continuous and has at least two discrete portions, the discrete portions of the second adhesive layer being formed on the upper surface of the spacer layer, wherein the rust-resistant masterbatch layer contains at least one volatile, or vapor phase, corrosion inhibitor.
