Abstract
Abstract An improved adhesive slide fastener construction is disclosd wherein at least one surface of a slide fastener stringer has coated thereon a thermoplastic adhesive film layer and a relatively thin pressure sensitive adhesive layer in intimate contact with said thermoplastic adhesive. The thermoplastic adhesive film firmly secures said pressure sensitive adhesive layer to the slide fastener stringer and isolates the stringer fabric and an underlying fabric surface from said pressure sensitive adhesive composition. The pressure sensitive adhesive composition enables rapid alignment and positioning of the slide fastener stringer on a garment surface prior to permanent installation of the slide fastener into the garment.
