Abstract: An adhesive-backed sheet for protecting painted surfaces comprising a supporting substrate having formed thereon a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive layer compounded with a fatty acid glycerol ester.

Abstract: A process for formation of a water repellent coating which comprises applying a topcoat coating composition of a fluorine containing thermosetting resin and granular compound of 5 microns or less in mean particle size to a substrate bearing a thermosetting undercoat coating film which is semi crosslinked, and then co-curing both films by heating. The resulting cured coating has a water repellent surface, excellent adhesion to a substrate, excellent corrosion resistance, no staying of water as droplets on the surface and no foul odor. The coating is especially suitable for applying to aluminum fins of a heat exchanger.

Abstract: A paint film-protective sheet comprising a supporting substrate having formed thereon a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a fatty acid glycerol ester and an antifungal agent.

Abstract: A process for applying a protective self-adhesive film onto a coat-finished product having an object unnecessary to be protected by the protective self-adhesive film, which process comprises (1) the following steps: applying a perforated self-adhesive film (a) having a perforation onto the surface of the coating of the coat-finished product so that an area occupied by the object may be positioned within the perforation, applying a protective self-adhesive film onto the object, the perforated self-adhesive film (a) and such a part of the coating of the coat-finished product as not to be covered with the perforated self-adhesive film (a), and removing an unnecessary portion of the protective self-adhesive film over the perforation; or (2) the following steps: applying the protective self-adhesive film onto the object and a coating of the coat-finished product, cutting out such an unnecessary portion of the protective self-adhesive film as positioned over the area occupied by the object by use of a cylindrical c

Abstract: An automobile paint film-protective sheet comprising a substrate having formed on one side thereof a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive having a dynamic modulus of from 2×105 to 7×106 dyne/cm2 at 60° C.
