Abstract

An invention relates to a pressure-activatible correcting tape, which has a conventional carrier and a lift-off layer for removing typed or printed type images, the lift-off layer containing a wax, a binder and optionally further additives. This correcting tape is characterized in that the lift-off layer contains approximately 5 to 35% by weight of butyl rubber, approximately 30 to 90% by weight of wax and approximately 0.1 to 5% by weight of a dispersent having a dispersing action in an aqueous medium for the aforementioned substances. The lift-off layer can be produced by means of an aqueous coating liquid, which is environmentally advantageous compared with organic dispersents. This correcting tape can be used without restriction and independently of the type of typewriter.
