Claims
- 1. A storage wrap material comprising:
(a) a sheet of material comprising one or more layers, and having a first, active side and a second side, said sheet comprising a plurality of protrusions integral with said first active side and said second side, said protrusions comprising from about 30% to about 70% of said first active side; and (b) an adhesive continuously disposed upon said first active side; and, wherein said storage wrap material is linerless and consists of no reinforcing or supporting elements such that said storage wrap material is used by itself to wrap or seal materials.
- 2. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said protrusions are selected from the group consisting of deformable standoffs, removable standoffs, repositionable standoffs, frangible standoffs, and combinations thereof.
- 3. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said protrusions comprise an amorphous pattern.
- 4. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said protrusions are collapsible.
- 5. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said storage wrap material is perforated.
- 6. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said storage wrap material is selectively activatable.
- 7. The storage wrap material of claim 6, wherein said selective activation is selected from the group consisting of compression activation, extension activation, thermal activation, and combinations thereof.
- 8. The storage wrap material of claim 6, wherein said storage wrap material is capable of forming a sealing engagement with a surface in response to a said selective activation.
- 9. The storage wrap material of claim 8, wherein said storage wrap material has a peak adhesion peel force value ranging from about 1 ounce per linear inch (0.012 kg per linear cm) to about 50 ounces per linear inch (0.600 kg per linear cm).
- 10. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said storage wrap material is conformable.
- 11. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein each of said protrusions has a base diameter and wherein said protrusions are spaced to provide a center-to-center average distance of about 2 protrusion base diameters.
- 12. The storage wrap material of claim 11, wherein each of said protrusions has a height, said height being less than said base diameter of said protrusion
- 13. The storage wrap material of claim 11, wherein each of said protrusions has a deformation resistance sufficient to withstand a pressure of at least about 0.1 pounds per square inch (0.69 kPa).
- 14. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said storage wrap material has an adhesion peel force after activation, said adhesion peel force being sufficient to form a barrier seal against a target surface, said seal exhibiting barrier properties at least as great as those of said sheet material.
- 15. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said first active side further comprises a substance disposed thereupon.
- 16. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said adhesive is a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- 17. The storage wrap material of claim 1, wherein said storage wrap material is clingless and exhibits no adhesion peel force prior to activation by a user.
- 18. The storage wrap material of claim 1 further comprising a second adhesive, said second adhesive being disposed upon said second side.
- 19. The storage wrap material of claim 18 further comprising a second sheet of material at least partially disposed upon said second adhesive.
- 20. The storage wrap matearial of claim 19, wherein said second sheet of material is a release liner.
