  • Publication number: 20060024494
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which is excellent in antistatic property of a non-electrification-prevented adherend (subject to be protected) upon peeling, and has reduced stainability in an adherend and is excellent in adhesion reliance, and electrification preventing pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets using the same. There is provided a pressure-sensitive composition comprising an ionic liquid, and a (meth)acryl-based polymer containing, as a monomer component, 0.1 to 100% by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid alkylene oxide. In addition, there is provided a pressure-sensitive composition comprising an ionic liquid, and a polymer containing, as a monomer component, 0.5 to 30% by weight of a nitrogen-containing monomer and having a glass transition temperature Tg of no higher than 0° C. Furthermore, there is provided a pressure-sensitive composition comprising an ionic liquid, and a (meth)acryl-based polymer containing, as a monomer component, 0.

  • Publication number: 20050266238
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive which can prevent electrification of a non-electrification-prevented adherend upon peeling, suppresses occurrence of peeling off even with time or via treatment under a high temperature, and is excellent in adhesion reliance, as well as an antistatic pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and surface protecting film using this. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention contains an ionic liquid, and a polymer having a glass transition temperature of Tg of 0° C. or lower as a base polymer, as well as an ethylene oxide group-containing compound and/or a surfactant.

  • Publication number: 20050256251
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a surface protecting film which reduces staining on an adherend (subject to be protected) when applied to a surface protecting film of plastic products, and prevents electrification on an adherend (subject to be protected) which has not been electrification-prevented when a surface protecting film is peeled. There is provided a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which comprises a (meth)acryl-based polymer containing, as a main component, a (meth)acryl-based monomer having an alkyl group of a carbon number of 6 to 14, a polyether polyol compound and an alkali metal salt, wherein an acid value of the (meth)acryl-based polymer is 1.0 or lower, and the alkali metal is contained at an amount of less than 0.1 part by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the (meth)acryl-based polymer.

  • Patent number: 6414073
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive material comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprising 100 parts by weight of natural rubber and 10 to 120 parts by weight of styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (SIS) having a radiate configuration with a styrene content of 10 to 45% by weight. Preferably, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is free of metals or metal compounds. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may contain 5 to 150 parts by weight of a tackifier having an acid value of 1.5 or more. The pressure-sensitive adhesive material includes (A) a backing-less tape having a release liner having on one surface thereof the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and (B) a double-coated tape having a backing having respective pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on surfaces thereof, at least one of which is constituted by the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the above-described type.
