Abstract: Provided is a novel pressure-sensitive adhesive tape having a moderately weak adhesion during a time period from a production process (during its production) to the time of the accomplishment of the product as a result of the completion of the production (immediately after the production). Accordingly, the peeling failure, or the like, resulting from strong adherence of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to a roll or the like at the time of the production can be sufficiently suppressed. As a result, stable product supply can be performed. In addition, even after the lapse of about a half day from immediately after the production, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be easily rewound. On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can express a sufficiently strong adhesion for an adherend after the lapse of a predetermined time from the production (e.g., at the time of its use).

Abstract: Provided is the following novel pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that expresses a sufficiently strong adhesion for an adherend. The adhesion of the novel pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in its production process is controlled so as to be moderately weak. Accordingly, a peeling failure and the occurrence of a wrinkle are sufficiently suppressed, and hence stable product supply is performed.
