  • Patent number: 12221571
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer consists of a dried product of a water-dispersed pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The water-dispersed pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains a water-dispersible polymer, water, and polyacrylic acid. The polyacrylic acid content is above 0.1 parts by mass and 7 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the water-dispersible polymer. A thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 10 ?m or more and 40 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20230383145
    Abstract: The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention includes a substrate film, a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a release liner. The substrate film has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is disposed on the first surface, and has a first adhesive surface opposite the substrate film. The second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed from a coating film of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition applied on the second surface, and has a second adhesive surface opposite the substrate film. The release liner is in releasable contact with the first adhesive surface. The emission amount of toluene and ethyl acetate from the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on heating at 80° C. for 30 minutes is 10 ?g/g or less.
