Abstract:

A tape containing an unbalanced woven fabric and an adhesive. The woven fabric has a warp dominant face and a filling dominant face, a plurality of warp yarns in a warp direction, and a plurality of filling yarns in a filling direction perpendicular to the warp direction crossing with the warp yarns at a plurality of intersections. At least 55% by number of the intersections have the warp yarn crossing with the filling yarn such that the warp yarn is on the warp dominant face of the fabric. At least 55% by number of the intersections have the warp yarn crossing with the filling yarn such that the filling yarn is on the filling dominant face of the fabric. The warp yarns have a linear mass density of between about 30 and 100 denier and the filling yarns have a linear mass density of between about 70 and 600 denier.
