The adhesive tape for the flying roll change of flat web material wound on rolls, comprises a carrier layer, and an adhesive layer, where a part of the surface of the carrier layer turned towards the adhesive layer is detectably arranged in an optical manner. An optically detectable unit is provided between the carrier layer and the adhesive layer or within the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is arranged, so that the optical detection is caused by the adhesive layer. The optical detectability is caused by complete or partial black coloring of the surface of the carrier layer.

An optically detectable unit is provided between the carrier layer and the adhesive layer or within the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is arranged, so that the optical detection is caused by the adhesive layer. The optical detectability is caused by complete or partial black coloring of the surface of the carrier layer turned towards the adhesive layer, and is caused by a black colored layer provided between the carrier layer and the adhesive layer. The adhesive tape is adapted, so that its gloss value i.e. the quotient of directionally and diffusably reflected portion of the light flux falling on the surface, on the outer surface of the adhesive layer is reduced to 75% relative to a structurally identical but unadapted adhesive tape. The adaptation of the adhesive tape is caused by adapting the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer has scattering centers, which cause the adaptation of the adhesive layer. A filler such polyethylene terephthalate fiber is added to the adhesive for creating the scattering centers, where 10 wt.% of filler portions is added to 100 wt.% of adhesive portions. The outer surface of the adhesive layer during the use of the adhesive tape is mechanically treated to reduce the gloss value of the surface. One of the surfaces of the adhesive layer is provided with a profile inside the adhesive surface by introducing the complementary embossed structure of a structured surface, and is roughened. The adhesive of the adhesive layer is a pressure-sensitive adhesive. An independent claim is included for a method for the flying roll change of flat web material wound on rolls.
