Abstract: A method for producing a silicone-based adhesive is disclosed. The method comprises: (1) applying a silicone composition (I) to one surface of a peelable substrate, and then forming a silicone layer (I) by curing or drying the silicone composition (I); and (2) applying a silicone composition (II) to a surface of the silicone layer (I), and then forming the silicone-based adhesive by curing the silicone composition (II). The silicone composition (I) contains a silicone resin. The silicone composition (II) either does not contain the silicone resin or if contained, its content amount is lower than that in the silicone composition (I). The method is useful for producing a silicone-based adhesive with low peel resistance from a peelable substrate even with a low modulus.
