Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition including an acrylic polymer with acrylic acid functional groups; an epoxy-based crosslinking agent at a content of 3 parts per weight or more based on 100 parts per weight of the acrylic polymer; and a UV-absorber at a content of 2 parts per weight or more based on 100 parts per weight of the acrylic polymer. In addition, a surface protection sheet including a carrier and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed of the aforementioned pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is described, as well as the use of the aforementioned surface protection sheet for outdoor surface protection. The surface protection sheet exhibits excellent weatherability resistance, adhesion properties on different substrate surfaces, oxidation resistance, advantageous anti-residue properties upon peeling and low surface contaminating properties.
