  • Publication number: 20210179893
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having an adhesive strength reducible by an adhesive strength-reducing action. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a thermally releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (11), and the adhesive strength-reducing action is heating of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (11). This pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use is suitable for allowing an object to be formed over a build stage of an additive manufacturing apparatus to be attached to the build stage during building up, and to be readily detached from the build stage after building up. An additive manufacturing apparatus can employ the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use and includes a build stage, and adhesive strength-reducing means for performing an adhesive strength-reducing action to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for build stage use affixed to the stage.

  • Publication number: 20200009789
    Abstract: Provided is a build mat to which a 3D print sticks well and from which the 3D print is easily separated. The build mat provided by this invention comprises a substrate and a surface layer provided to the first face of the substrate. The build mat has a peel strength of 1.5 N/18 mm or greater and 10 N/18 mm or less, determined by peeling the mat from polylactic acid (PLA) placed on the surface layer; and it is constituted so that the surface layer remains on the PLA in the peel strength measurement.

  • Publication number: 20140053977
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that can be used in a temperature environment of at least 90° C. or higher, includes: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; and a release liner provided on the surface on at least one side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The release liner has: a base layer containing a polyolefin resin; and a release layer that contains low-density polyethylene and is provided on at least one side of the base layer to be in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 8367177
    Abstract: Disclosed is a release liner having a multilayer structure of at least three layers including two surface layers and an intermediate layer, in which one of the two surface layers contains a high-density polyethylene, the other contains a low-density polyethylene, and the intermediate layer contains a low-density polyethylene alone as its resin component. Also disclosed is a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including the release liner and at least one pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, in which a release force X (N/mm) between the release liner and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a rigidity Y of the release liner [(Young's modulus of the release liner)×(thickness)3] (N·mm) satisfy the following conditions: 0<X?0.285 and 0<Y<180X4+0.1. The release liner and pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet excel in releasability and do not suffer from liner pop-off even when, for example, stored in a curved state. The release liner excels also in recyclability.

  • Patent number: 8043682
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with a release liner has a bubbles containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a release liner in contact with at least one surface of the bubbles containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The release liner comprises at least three layers including an intermediate layer and surface layers, and the surface layers are positioned on both surfaces of the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer comprises at least one polyolefin resin. Each of the surface layers comprises a low-density polyethylene and an olefinic elastomer and independently has a thickness of 15 ?m or less. The ratio of the thickness of the intermediate layer to the total thickness of the surface layers (the intermediate layer/the surface layers) is in the range of 4 to 19.

  • Patent number: 7532052
    Abstract: A clock duty changing apparatus changes a duty ratio of an input clock signal with nearly 50% duty ratio to a target value being externally supplied and outputs the input clock signal thereinafter as an output signal. The apparatus includes a duty regulation circuit and a duty correction circuit. The duty regulation circuit includes a delay selection circuit and an operation circuit. The delay selection circuit generates a delay signal by delaying the input clock signal by delay time determined based on a first control signal and a second control signal. The first control signal is externally supplied to the apparatus. The second control signal is generated by the duty correction circuit so that mismatch between the duty ratio of the output clock signal and the target value is reduced. The operation circuit generates the output clock signal by logic operation using the delay signal and the input clock signal.
