  • Patent number: 11254843
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive film. The adhesive film has a silicone adhesive layer on one surface or both surfaces of a substrate film. A silicone adhesive material is used to form the silicone adhesive layer. The silicone adhesive material has 120 to 380% of an elongation at break (tensile speed of 300 mm/min, temperature of 25° C.) specified in JIS K 6251, and 1.8×105 to 4.5×105 Pa of a shear storage modulus (frequency of 10 Hz, temperature of 25° C.). The adhesive film generally has good wettability to the surface of an adherend and in general can be easily attached without creating air bubbles, to the extent that, even if air bubbles are created, the air bubbles can be easily dissipated. Further, even though the adhesive film is generally not easily peeled, peeling is generally possible with a small adhesive force during high speed peeling.
