  • Publication number: 20140004343
    Abstract: Provided is a surface protective sheet, which satisfactorily adheres to an adherend and which shows little increase in adhesion with time, can easily be re-released, reduces the amount of a pressure-sensitive adhesive remaining on the surface of the adherend after the release of the sheet, and does not impair the self-cleaning property of the surface of a coated plate as the adherend. The surface protective sheet includes: a base material layer; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, in which, when the surface protective sheet is attached to a silicon wafer on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side of the sheet and left to stand at 40° C. for 24 hours, and then the surface protective sheet is released under a temperature environment of 23° C., the surface of the resultant silicon wafer has a C/Si ratio of 0.8 or less in photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.

  • Publication number: 20130344328
    Abstract: Provided is a surface protective sheet, which satisfactorily adheres to an adherend and which can be easily re-released and suppresses contamination due to a pressure-sensitive adhesive remaining on the surface of the adherend after the release of the sheet. The surface protective sheet includes: a base material layer; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, in which a difference ?T (%) between the visible light transmittance T1 (%) of a transparent substrate having an antireflection film and the visible light transmittance T2 (%) of the transparent substrate resulting when the surface protective sheet is attached to one side of the transparent substrate and left to stand at 160° C. for 1 hour, and then the surface protective sheet is released under a temperature environment of 23° C. (?T=T1?T2) satisfies a relationship of ?T?1.8.
