  • Patent number: 11492520
    Abstract: A reinforcing film comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive layer laminated and fixed on a principal surface of a film substrate. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer is formed of a photocurable composition containing a photocurable agent and a base polymer having a crosslinked structure. A frictional force of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer measured with a frictional force microscope at a frequency of 5 Hz is preferably 2 to 5 times a frictional force at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. After photocuring of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, a frictional force of a photocured pressure sensitive adhesive layer measured with the frictional force microscope at a frequency of 5 Hz is preferably not less than 5 times a frictional force measured at a frequency of 0.1 Hz.

    Abstract: Provided is a surface protective film including, as an outermost layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive as a main component, the surface protective film allowing the contamination of an adherend to be extremely suppressed, and being preferably excellent in wettability and reworkability. The surface protective film of the present invention includes, as an outermost layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing, as a main component, a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive containing a polyurethane-based resin; and when a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side of the surface protective film is attached to a glass plate at 50° C. for 10 days and then the surface protective film is peeled from the glass plate, a residual adhesive strength on the peeled surface side of the glass plate is 3.0 N/19 mm or more.

  • Publication number: 20140039123
    Abstract: A resin composition includes: a polyol (A) having two or more OH groups; a polyfunctional isocyanate compound (B); and a catalyst (C), in which: the content ratio of the polyfunctional isocyanate compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyol (A) is 1 part by weight to 100 parts by weight; and the catalyst (C) includes an iron complex compound. The resin composition can serve as a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that is a material for forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a polyurethane-based resin, the resin composition showing extremely high reactivity without any use of a tin compound as a catalyst, allowing a cross-linking reaction between a polyol and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound to rapidly progress, and being capable of providing a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having high transparency. Also provided are a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and a surface protective film each including such pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
