  • Publication number: 20080311369
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including: a laminated structure in which a light-shielding layer, a white or silver layer, and a colored layer are laminated in this order; and at least one pressure-sensitive adhesive layer as at least one surface layer, in which at least one surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has L* of 30 or more and C* of 3 or more, L* representing a luminosity and C* representing a chromaticness, and in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet as a whole has a transmittance of a light having a wavelength of 550 nm of 0.3% or less. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the invention is excellent in light-shielding property irrespective of the thinness thereof as well as in decorativity due to the surface thereof that is colored with a bright color.

  • Publication number: 20080213527
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with a release liner has a bubbles containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a release liner in contact with at least one surface of the bubbles containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The release liner comprises at least three layers including an intermediate layer and surface layers, and the surface layers are positioned on both surfaces of the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer comprises at least one polyolefin resin. Each of the surface layers comprises a low-density polyethylene and an olefinic elastomer and independently has a thickness of 15 ?m or less. The ratio of the thickness of the intermediate layer to the total thickness of the surface layers (the intermediate layer/the surface layers) is in the range of 4 to 19.

  • Publication number: 20070104913
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive label has a base having an information indication portion on its one surface thereof, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on another surface of the base. After peeling a release liner, the label is stuck on an outer surface of a housing of the hard disk drive to reduce noise generated when the hard disk drive is driven. The release liner for coating the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has an antistatic function and a cut line. The adhesive force of the adhesive layer is reduced by heating. The label has a surface density of not lower than 0.

  • Publication number: 20050266195
    Abstract: The release liner includes a release layer constituted of at least one polyolefin resin, wherein the release layer has surface irregularities. The surface irregularities of the release layer may be constituted of recesses and protrusions which are irregularly different in shape and have been disposed in irregular arrangement. The release layer preferably has a surface roughness Ra of 1-3 ?m. As the polyolefin resin constituting the release layer can be used at least one polyolefin resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes, polypropylene, polybutenes, poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), and copolymers of ethylene with one or more ?-olefins having 3-10 carbon atoms.
