  • Publication number: 20090258176
    Abstract: A first release liner of the present invention comprises a single- or multilayered film having a releasable layer in which the peel strength in application to an acrylic plate (23 DEG C.) is 0.02-0.5 N/20 mm. Also provided is a second release liner which comprises a single- or multilayered film having a releasable layer comprising an ethylene/vinyl acetate resin. The release liners each may be a multilayered film composed of a substrate and a releasable layer. When each of the release liners is used as a release liner in winding a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on a bobbin, the tape winding operation is free from troubles that the release liner undesirably peels off, tape shifting occurs, and air inclusion occurs between tape layers. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is used, the release liner can be easily peeled from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
