Abstract

See full text

A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet is reliably repositionable by having a plurality of spaced clumps of particles uniformly distributed over at least one surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with the tips of the clumps of particles being substantially free from adhesive, which particles are smaller than the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Preferred particles are glass beads which may be from 5 to 15 .mu.m in diameter when the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is about 25 .mu.m. Each clump preferably contains from 5 to about 100 particles. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be covered with a carrier web which has a low adhesion surface that is formed with depressions that protect the clumps of particles.
