Abstract: The adhesive composition of the present invention has a gel fraction of 20-50%, which comprises an acrylic polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing the following component (a) as a main component and the following component (b) in a proportion of 5-49 wt %: component (a): an alkyl (meth)acrylate wherein the alkyl group has 4 to 12 carbon atoms, component (b): a carboxyl group-containing monomer having a carboxyl group and an ethylenic unsaturated double bond, which affords, when polymerized, a homopolymer having a glass transition temperature of not more than 70° C. Since the adhesive composition of the present invention is superior in all of the adhesion, impact resistance and repulsion resistance, it can adhere even to a part having a coated film formed on a surface to be adhered.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape contains a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on at least one side of the substrate, wherein the substrate contains colored layers containing a silver layer, a layer of a color other than silver and black, and a black layer which are superposed in this order.

Abstract: The combination of a multi-layer instrument panel having a skin layer with an exposed surface and an opening therethrough and a first accessory that is mounted in the opening. The first accessory has an exposed surface that is substantially flush with the exposed surface of the skin layer with the first accessory mounted in the opening and operatively connected to the multi-layer instrument panel. The invention is also directed to a method of manufacturing the instrument panel with the first accessory.
