Abstract: A silicone embossing rubber roller has no fine depression defects on the surface and, furthermore, is not liable to produce protrusions on an embossed plastic film surface. The silicone rubber roller is such that the silicone rubber layer on the surface contains spherical solid particles, and the spherical solid particles having a particle size of 0.8 ?m or smaller and the spherical solid particles having a particle size of 30 ?m or larger respectively occupy 1% or less of the volume of all the spherical solid particles.

Abstract: A surface protection film has moderate adhesive properties for bonding to adherend bodies with a rough surface, a rear surface with good slipping properties, and blocking resistance and good unwinding properties. The surface protection film has a laminated structure formed at least of an adhesive layer and a back layer, wherein the adhesive layer is formed mainly of a styrene-based elastomer while the back layer is formed mainly of a propylene-based resin containing 0.5 wt % to 10 wt % of a fluorine-containing compound having a polyfluorohydrocarbon group and a polyoxy ethylene group.

Abstract: A surface protection film has moderate adhesive properties for adherend bodies with a rough surface, has a rear surface with good slipping properties, and blocking resistance and good unwinding properties (decreased unwinding tension to enable easy, high-speed sticking of the film to an adherend without causing creases or flaws). The surface protection film has a three-layered composite structure including an adhesive layer, an interlayer, and a back layer, wherein the adhesive layer is formed of 35 to 90 wt % of a linear low density polyethylene, 5 to 50 wt % of a styrene-based elastomer, and 15 wt % or less of a tackifier, the interlayer formed mainly of a propylene-based resin, and the back layer formed mainly of the same propylene-based resin as that constituting the interlayer and/or a different propylene-based resin therefrom, and also wherein the back layer has a surface roughness of 3 ?m or more in terms of ten-point average roughness (Rz).
