  • Patent number: 8920601
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detaching two plates bonded through a double-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet without substantially applying such a force (load) to the plates as to cause large distortion (deformation) leading to fracture or breakage of the plates. The method detaches two plates bonded through a double-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet by applying a force to at least one of the two plates at least in a direction normal to the plate at such a temperature that the double-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a storage elastic modulus of 1.0×107 Pa or more as measured by dynamic viscoelastic measurement.

  • Patent number: 8722185
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet large in adhesive force when used for a surface of a glass member and capable of reducing the adhesive force to a degree allowing the occurrence of the cracking or breakage of the glass member to be suppressed when the sheet is peeled from the surface of the glass member. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for glass plates of the present invention includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer including an acrylic polymer, wherein the content of the acrylic polymer in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 30% by weight or more in relation to the total amount (100% by weight) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; the acrylic polymer substantially includes no acidic functional group; the solvent-insoluble fraction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 50% or more; and the adhesive force to glass as determined by a specific method is 12.0 N or less.
