Filed:

May 27, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/068345

Inventors:

Richard J. Mazza - New Hartford NY
Thomas King - Clinton NY
Joy Stone - Oriskany Falls NY

Assignee:

Tyco Group S.a.r.l.

International Classification:

B05D 510
A61F 1300

US Classification:

4272088

Abstract:

A breathable, comfortable, elastic pressure sensitive, permanent tacky, adhesive bandaging material is disclosed. The material includes a fabric formed of stretch and non-stretch filling and warp yarns which are coated with a release agent, a stiffening agent, and an adhesive material. Both the agents and adhesive material are applied to the backside of the fabric, with a small amount of the release agent being absorbed through the fabric to the face surface thereof. The adhesive material may include a solvent which tends to plasticize the stiffening agent to a small degree when applied thereto. The resulting bandaging material exhibits characteristics of good tearability along with a relatively soft face surface and an improved hand. The material is manufactured by applying the agents and adhesive to the fabric when the fabric is in a relaxed state. When subsequently stretched, the adhesive is pulled into a random, nonuniform and discontinuous layer.
