An adhesive article is disclosed. The adhesive article includes a
reinforced tape and a pressure sensitive layer disposed on the reinforced
tape. The pressure sensitive layer includes an adhesive blend of 25 to 75
parts by weight of a first hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive having
a first polyacrylate, 60 to 24 parts by weight of a non-hydrophobic
pressure sensitive adhesive having a second polyacrylate, and 15 to 1
parts by weight of a tackifying agent. The adhesive blend includes a
cross linking agent. The non-hydrophobic pressure sensitive adhesive is
miscible in the hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive and the second
polyacrylate is different from the first polyacrylate. Methods of making
and using adhesive articles are also disclosed.
