A flexible adhesive tape comprising a thermoplastic support film etched on one side with a suitable etchant or etching method, said etched side being coated with a polyvinylformal pre-coat, and further coated with a photo-sensitive adhesive composition comprising, (i) at least one polymerizable acrylate ester monomer; (ii) a photo-initiator; (iii) optionally a film former; and the other side of said thermoplastic support film being coated with a release agent. These tape are useful as protective coatings, and adhere to a variety of surfaces, particularly high surface energy materials. |
