Description

The present invention relates to an ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling and its use. More specifically, an ionizing radiation-curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that can be suitably used for forming an adhesive film or the like that protects an optical member, a laminate obtained by curing the composition, and the laminate And an optical member formed by sticking the adhesive film.

The ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling is intended to produce a pressure-sensitive adhesive film that can be used as a re-peelable surface protective film (surface protective sheet) having the ability to be cured by ionizing radiation such as UV and EB. It becomes the raw material of A re-peelable surface protective film is a film that is temporarily affixed during processing, transportation, inspection, etc., in order to suppress scratches and dirt during the process in the production of optical members, etc. Usually, it is finally peeled off and discarded. In recent years, the demand for a film for protecting the surface of an optical member or the like has increased rapidly, and a film suitable for protecting an optical member is particularly desired.

As a pressure-sensitive adhesive film used to protect the surface of an optical member, a viewpoint that prevents problems such as disorder of alignment of the optical member and liquid crystal cell and expansion of a cell gap due to distortion generated at the time of peeling, and a productivity viewpoint Therefore, it is desirable that the adhesive force (high-speed adhesive force) at the time of high-speed peeling is sufficiently low. Moreover, it is desirable that not only the high-speed adhesive force is low, but also the property (familiarity) of quickly getting wet to the adherend by the weight of the adhesive film is excellent. If the conformability is excellent, even if the adhesive film is peeled off due to some trouble during the process, it can be re-adhered to the adherend by the weight of the adhesive film, and the surface of the optical member may be damaged during the process. It is because it can suppress more effectively.

As a method for reducing the high-speed adhesive strength of the adhesive film, for example, increasing the crosslinking density of the polymer constituting the adhesive film is conceivable. However, if the crosslink density of the polymer is increased to reduce the high-speed adhesive force of the adhesive film, the adhesive strength with the adherend will also be reduced, and the protective film may be peeled off during the manufacturing process, or floating may occur during autoclave processing. There is a possibility that a problem such as failure may occur, and a problem such as a decrease in conformability will occur. In particular, when a member having fine irregularities on the surface (for example, an optical member such as an antiglare-treated polarizing plate) is used as an adherend, these problems are significant.

Thus, lowering the adhesive strength (high-speed adhesive strength) when peeled at a high speed and improving the conformability and the like are mutually contradictory physical properties, and the conventional adhesive film is compatible with both. It was not a thing. Therefore, a pressure-sensitive adhesive film that simultaneously satisfies these physical properties at a high level and a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling that can form such a pressure-sensitive adhesive film have been demanded. It has also been desired that the adhesive film can be used for an adherend having fine irregularities on the surface.

As a conventional re-peeling pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, for example, as a main component of a re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive, an acrylate monomer having a glass transition temperature of -15 ° C. or less of a homopolymer is 50 to 90 mass. %, A monomer mixture essentially comprising an acrylate monomer having a glass transition temperature of 0 to 120 ° C. of 0 to 120 ° C. and an acid group-containing monomer of 5 to 0.1% by mass. Obtained by polymerization in an aqueous medium using 0.2 to 4% by mass of a reactive nonionic surfactant and 0.1 to 2% by mass of an anionic surfactant per 100% by mass of the monomer mixture. In which a water-soluble acrylic copolymer is used, the solvent-soluble content of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is set to 40% or less, and the elastic modulus is set to a range of 1 to 40 kg / cm ² . (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). This technique proposes that an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive contains a component having a high glass transition temperature (0 to 120 ° C.) to weaken the adhesive force and impart removability. However, since the adhesive strength is too high, there is room for further improvement in removability. Furthermore, it is possible to lower the adhesive strength by increasing the crosslink density, but it is impossible to achieve compatibility with the compatibility, and it is possible to achieve both low adhesion and compatibility with high speed peeling. There was room.

Moreover, (meth) acrylic acid alkylene oxide adduct 51-100 mass%, (meth) acrylic monomers other than the above 0-49 mass%, and other polymerizable monomers 0-49 mass% are monomer components. A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a (meth) acrylic (co) polymer and a crosslinking agent is disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This technology improves wettability by using an acrylic polymer obtained by crosslinking 51 to 100% by mass of an (meth) acrylic acid alkylene oxide adduct with an epoxy compound or an isocyanate compound, thereby enabling high-speed peeling. It is intended to reduce the adhesive strength at the time. However, in order to achieve both compatibility and high-speed peelability, a large amount of an alkylene oxide adduct must be used, but this monomer is expensive and unsuitable for industrial use. Further, since the alkylene oxide portion is easily subjected to extraction by radicals, there is a problem that gelation is likely to occur during polymerization.

Furthermore, the main component is a radiation-reactive polymer having one carbon-carbon double bond and a molecular inner chain with a chain length of 6 or more atoms, and shrinkage force generated by a curing reaction by irradiation. A re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive having a viscosity of 30 MPa or less is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3). This technology is a re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive composed of a radiation-reactive polymer having one carbon-carbon double bond and a radiation-reactive oligomer, and suppresses the warping of the adherend due to shrinkage generated by the curing reaction to a low level. The purpose is to do. However, it is intended for dicing tapes used in semiconductor manufacturing, and adhesive tape that has been cross-linked with isocyanate in advance is affixed to a silicon wafer and UV cured for the purpose of reducing the adhesive strength at the time of peeling. Is sufficiently low, but is conscious only of low adhesiveness at the time of peeling, and has problems such as incompatibility.

As a conventional radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive, 75 to 95% by mass of a radiation curable prepolymer having a molecular weight of 5000 to 50000 (meth) acryloyl group in the molecule and a (meth) acryloyl group having a molecular weight of 500 to 3000 at both ends. Drawing process surface protective film comprising a mixture of radiation curable oligomers 5 to 25% by mass and blending polyfunctional thiol 0.2 to 2.0% by mass and an acrylic monomer having an acidic group 50 to 100% by mass Radiation curable pressure sensitive adhesives are disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 4). However, this technique is used for a highly polar adherend such as a metal plate or a glass plate, and is not suitable for use in a low polarity polymer material or the like. Moreover, 50-100 mass% and a large amount of acidic group containing monomer are essential as a component, and adhesive force was too high and it was not compatible with adhesive force level and conformability.

Further, a (meth) acrylate copolymer polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of −20 ° C. or lower and a melt viscosity at 130 ° C. of 50,000 to 500,000 (mPa · S), and a hydrogen abstraction type A transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising a single layer containing a photoinitiator, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the sheet surface on one side and the pressure-sensitive adhesive force on the other surface are different. Is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 5). This technology uses a hydrogen abstraction type initiator having an absorption wavelength region that approximates that of PET film or soda lime glass, so that the adhesiveness on the side irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the PET film or soda lime glass is higher than that on the opposite side. By doing this, it is intended to obtain pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets having different adhesive properties on the front and back sides. However, this technique has problems such as low curability of the surface irradiated through the PET film and soda lime glass, and too high adhesive strength.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned present situation, and is capable of being used suitably as an adhesive film or the like that protects an optical member while achieving both low adhesiveness and conformability at high speed at a high level. It aims at providing the adhesive composition for curable re-peeling, and its use.

When the present inventors variously examined the ionizing radiation-curable composition for use in the application of the re-peeling pressure-sensitive adhesive, the polyfunctional monomer (B) was used with respect to 100% by mass of the acrylic polymer (A). ) In a composition containing 1 to 50% by mass, the acrylic polymer (A) is obtained by polymerizing a monomer component essentially comprising an alkyl acrylate ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. And a side chain unsaturated bond-containing polymer having a side chain unsaturated bond of 0 to 0.200 mmol / g, and further, as a monomer component constituting the acrylic polymer (A), an alkyl group Use an acrylic acid alkyl ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, a monomer having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group, and other vinyl monomers, and use amounts of these monomers within a specific range. By special Even without using a monomer, it is possible to achieve both low adhesion and conformability at high speeds at a high level, and it is a raw material for a protective film that can be suitably used for adherends having fine irregularities on the surface. As a result, they have come up with the idea that the above problems can be solved brilliantly.

That is, the present invention is an ionizing radiation curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing 1 to 50% by mass of the polyfunctional monomer (B) with respect to 100% by mass of the acrylic polymer (A), The acrylic polymer (A) is obtained by polymerizing a monomer component essentially comprising an alkyl acrylate ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and the unsaturated bond in the side chain is 0. It is a polymer containing a side chain unsaturated bond of ˜0.200 mmol / g, and the monomer component is an acrylic acid having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, assuming that the total amount of the monomer is 100% by mass. Ionizing radiation curable re-peeling in which the alkyl ester is 50 to 100% by mass, the monomer having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group is 0 to 10% by mass, and the other vinyl monomers are 0 to 50% by mass. It is a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
The present invention is described in detail below.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for ionizing radiation curable re-peeling of the present invention contains 1 to 50% by mass of the polyfunctional monomer (B) with respect to 100% by mass of the acrylic polymer (A).
By including 1-50 mass% of polyfunctional monomers, the initial tack, adhesive force, and cohesive force required as an adhesive will be expressed. The polyfunctional monomer increases the crosslink density of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, suppresses the movement of the polymer main chain, and adjusts the removability by adjusting the conformability and adhesion to the adherend. The physical properties necessary for the surface protective film will be developed.

It is preferable to change the usage-amount of the said polyfunctional monomer according to the amount of unsaturated double bonds of the side chain which an acrylic polymer (A) has. When the amount of unsaturated double bonds is large, the amount of polyfunctional monomer used is small. Conversely, when the amount of unsaturated double bonds is small, the amount of polyfunctional monomer used is increased. An adhesive is obtained. The usage-amount of a polyfunctional monomer is 50 mass% or less with respect to 100 mass% of an acrylic polymer (A). If it exceeds 50% by mass, the conformability may be insufficient. As the usage-amount of a polyfunctional monomer (B), it is preferable that it is 2-40 mass% with respect to 100 mass% of acrylic polymers (A). More preferably, it is 3-30 mass%. When the usage-amount of a polyfunctional monomer (B) is such a preferable range, the balance with adhesive force and conformability will be further excellent.

Among the polyfunctional monomers, trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate and tri (meth) acryloyloxyethoxytrimethylolpropane which are trifunctional (meth) acrylates are preferable, and trimethylolpropane is preferred. Tri (meth) acrylate is particularly preferred. Most preferred is trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate.

The ionizing radiation curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be used in combination with a monofunctional monomer, if necessary, in addition to the polyfunctional monomer. Thereby, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for ionizing radiation curable re-peeling can be finely adjusted so as to have desired pressure-sensitive adhesive properties. As addition amount of a monofunctional monomer, 50 mass% or less is preferable with respect to 100 mass% of polymers. If it exceeds 50 mass%, the curability may be lowered. As the usage-amount of a monofunctional monomer, it is preferable that it is 0-30 mass% with respect to 100 mass% of acrylic polymers (A), for example. More preferably, it is 0-25 mass%, More preferably, it is 0-20 mass%. When the usage amount of the monofunctional monomer is within such a preferable range, desired adhesive properties can be imparted without lowering curability.

The monofunctional monomer is a compound having one functional group. The monofunctional monomer is preferably a compound having one radical polymerizable group. Examples of the monofunctional monomer include methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, n-butyl (meth) acrylate, isobutyl (meth) acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate, isononyl (meth) acrylate, (Meth) acrylates such as isodecyl (meth) acrylate, n-lauryl (meth) acrylate, tridecyl (meth) acrylate, n-stearyl (meth) acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl-diglycol acrylate can be used. Among these, 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl-diglycol acrylate are preferable.

The acrylic polymer (A) contained in the ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling of the present invention is a monomer component essentially comprising an alkyl acrylate ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. It is a polymer containing a side chain unsaturated bond obtained by polymerization and having a side chain unsaturated bond of 0 to 0.200 mmol / g.
Below, the monomer component and polymerization process for obtaining an acrylic polymer (A) are demonstrated.

If the alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group is represented by a general formula, the following general formula (1);

(Wherein R ¹ represents an alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms). R ¹ may be linear or branched.
Examples of the compound represented by the general formula (1) include 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-octyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, isononyl acrylate, isodecyl acrylate, tridecyl acrylate, and isomyristyl acrylate. These 1 type (s) or 2 or more types can be used.

In the said acrylic polymer (A), the usage-amount of the acrylic acid alkylester whose carbon number of an alkyl group is 8-14 is 50-100 mass% when all the monomer components are 100 mass%. . If the amount of the alkyl alkyl ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group is less than 50% by mass, the compatibility may be insufficient. It is preferable that the usage-amount of the acrylic acid alkylester whose carbon number of an alkyl group is 8-14 is 55-95 mass%. More preferably, it is 57-90 mass%. If the amount of the acrylic acid alkyl ester used is within such a preferable range, the conformability will be more excellent.

The above-mentioned adaptability is the performance in which the adhesive wets the adherend only by the weight of the tape when the protective film is lightly placed on an optical member such as a polarizing plate. Even if the protective film is peeled off due to such trouble, if the compatibility is excellent, it will be re-adhered only by the weight of the tape, so the performance required to suppress damage to the surface of the optical member is there.
Some polarizing plates have been subjected to a so-called anti-glare treatment in which reflection of light is suppressed by providing fine irregularities on the surface in order to suppress glare in the display portion. This antiglare-treated polarizing plate has a drawback that the wettability of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is poor due to fine unevenness. In general, a protective film having a high crosslinking density and satisfying high-speed peelability has poor conformability, and it is difficult to achieve both physical properties. The pressure-sensitive adhesive film obtained by using the ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling according to the present invention has excellent conformability and low-tackiness at high-speed peeling, and is as fine as an anti-glare-treated polarizing plate. It can also be suitably used for an optical member having irregularities. The fine unevenness here means that the unevenness of the unevenness is about 0.1 to 10 μm, and as an adherend having such fine unevenness, an AG (anti-glare, anti-glare) treated film, AR (Antireflection) film, electromagnetic wave shielding film and the like.
The uneven height difference is a numerical value represented by a ten-point average roughness (Rz) measured according to JIS B0601. For example, a laser microscope VK-9710 manufactured by Keyence Co., Ltd. can be used to measure the uneven height difference of the adherend surface.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for ionizing radiation curable re-peeling of the present invention is a group comprising a monomer having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group as a monomer constituting the acrylic polymer (A). Adhesiveness with the material can be improved, and it can be used as a reaction point when a compound having an unsaturated double bond and a functional group described later is added to the polymer side chain. In order to use as a reaction point when using an isocyanate group-containing compound as a compound having an unsaturated double bond and a functional group, it is preferable to use a monomer having a hydroxyl group. Moreover, in order to make it a reaction point at the time of using a glycidyl group containing compound or an oxazoline monomer as a compound which has an unsaturated double bond and a functional group, it is preferable to use the monomer which has a carboxyl group. Moreover, as a monomer which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group, it is preferable to use either the monomer which has a hydroxyl group, or the monomer which has a carboxyl group. When a monomer having a hydroxyl group and a monomer having a carboxyl group are copolymerized, the hydroxyl group reacts with the carboxyl group, which serves as a reaction point when an unsaturated double bond is added to the polymer side chain. Because it becomes impossible.

Examples of the monomer having a hydroxyl group include 2-hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate, and 4-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate. These 1 type (s) or 2 or more types can be used.

The monomer having a carboxyl group is preferably (meth) acrylic acid.

In the said acrylic polymer (A), the usage-amount of the monomer which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group is 0-10 mass% when all the monomer components are 100 mass%. If it exceeds 10% by mass, the conformability may be insufficient. It is preferable that the usage-amount of the monomer which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group is 0-8 mass%. More preferably, it is 0-7.0 mass%, More preferably, it is 0-6.0 mass%.

In the acrylic polymer (A), the amount of other vinyl monomers used is 0 to 50% by mass when the total monomer components are 100% by mass. When the amount of the other vinyl monomer used exceeds 50% by mass, the amount of the alkyl alkyl ester having 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group is too small, and the conformability becomes insufficient. The amount of other vinyl monomers used is preferably 0 to 45% by mass. More preferably, it is 0-40 mass%, More preferably, it is 0-35 mass%.

An unsaturated bond may be introduced into. Among these methods, the method (ii) is preferable.
As a method of introducing an unsaturated double bond into the side chain of the polymer as in (ii) above, a compound having an unsaturated group double bond and a functional group is the basis of the acrylic polymer (A). A method of adding to a polymer (performing an addition reaction step) can be mentioned. In addition, even if the unsaturated bond of a side chain is substantially 0 mmol / g, the effect of this invention can be show | played by specifying the usage-amount of a polyfunctional monomer as mentioned above.

It is preferable to perform the said addition reaction process in the temperature range of 50-100 degreeC. In this case, the polymerization is usually performed by mixing the polymer that is the basis of the acrylic polymer (A), the compound having an unsaturated group double bond and a functional group, a solvent, and an addition catalyst.

If the temperature is lower than 50 ° C., the reaction may take a long time or the reaction rate may decrease. When temperature exceeds 100 degreeC, it will become easy to gelatinize a polymer during reaction. In order to prevent gelation, it is desirable to further mix a polymerization inhibitor and perform in the presence of a molecular oxygen-containing gas. As the molecular oxygen-containing gas, air or oxygen gas diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen is usually used and blown into the reaction vessel.

More preferably, it is continued until 90% or more is reached, and further preferably, it is continued until 95% or more is reached.

As the addition catalyst used in the introduction method (a), for example, a tin compound or a known urethane cleavage catalyst can be used. Among these, it is preferable to use dibutyltin dilaurate because there are few side reactions.

Subsequently, the polyfunctional monomer (B) will be described.

It is a preferred embodiment of the present invention that the ionizing radiation curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition further comprises a hydrogen abstraction type photopolymerization initiator (C) and is cured by ultraviolet irradiation. One.
Initiators used for ultraviolet (UV) curing include a hydrogen abstraction type and a self-cleavage type. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiator. When a hydrogen abstraction type initiator is used, the initiator abstracts hydrogen radicals from the adhesive resin, and the radicals on this polymer react with side chain unsaturated bonds of other polymer molecules (intermediately via the polyfunctional monomer). In some cases, a crosslinked structure is formed. Since this reaction starts from a polymer radical, the crosslinking efficiency is high, and as a result, it is presumed that both high-speed peelability and conformability can be achieved. On the other hand, in the self-cleaving type, the initiator is cleaved into two radical molecules, and this radical first reacts with a side chain unsaturated bond of one polymer molecule, and further reacts with another polymer molecule to form a crosslinked structure. Compared with the above-described hydrogen abstraction mold, the step until the formation of a crosslinked structure becomes longer, so that the crosslinking efficiency is considered to be poor. In fact, compared to hydrogen abstraction type initiators, high-speed adhesive force is less likely to decrease, and it is possible to reduce high-speed adhesive force by increasing the amount of unsaturated double bonds and the amount of polyfunctional monomers in the adhesive resin side chain. , Balance with familiarity is not possible. In order to obtain high-speed peelability, it is necessary to raise the degree of crosslinking as a whole. However, the self-cleavage type requires excessive crosslinking because of poor crosslinking efficiency. For this reason, there are places where the crosslinking density is too high, and as a result, the balance between high-speed peelability and conformability is considered to be poor.

Examples of the hydrogen abstraction type initiator include benzophenone, methylbenzophenone, trimethylbenzophenone, o-benzoylbenzoic acid, methyl o-benzoylbenzoate, 4-chlorobenzophenone, 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone, 4-fluorobenzophenone, 4, Benzophenones such as 4′-difluorobenzophenone, tetra (t-butylperoxycarbonyl) benzophenone, [4- (methylphenylthio) phenyl] phenylmethanone; thioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, etc. Examples include thioxanthones, 3-ketocoumarin, 2-ethylanthraquinone, camphorquinone, Michler's ketone, and the like, and one or more of these can be used.

Among the hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiators, it is preferable to use benzophenones. Benzophenones are compounds having a benzophenone group. More preferred is benzophenone.
Moreover, it is preferable that the addition amount of a hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiator is 0.1-10 mass% when the total mass of the ionizing radiation-curable re-peeling pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is 100 mass%. More preferably, it is 0.2-8 mass%, and is 0.3-6 mass%.

In the ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling of the present invention, a self-cleavage photoinitiator can be used in combination with a hydrogen abstraction photoinitiator. By using the self-cleaving photoinitiator, the unreacted amount of the monofunctional monomer can be reduced. However, the addition amount of the self-cleaving photoinitiator is preferably 5% by mass or less when the total mass of the composition is 100% by mass. This is because the self-cleaving initiator also has a function of reducing the crosslinking efficiency.

Examples of the self-cleaving photoinitiator include benzoins such as benzoin and benzoin isobutyl ether; dimethylbenzyl ketal, 2,2-dimethoxyphenylacetophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1 -Acetophenones such as phenylpropan-1-one; acylphosphine oxides such as bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) -phenylphosphine oxide, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide, etc. These 1 type (s) or 2 or more types can be used.

In the case of curing the ionizing radiation-curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition by ultraviolet irradiation, examples of the UV light source include black light, low-pressure mercury lamp, high-pressure mercury lamp, ultrahigh-pressure mercury lamp, metal halide lamp, and xenon lamp.
As UV irradiation intensity | strength, an adhesive composition should just be hardened enough, for example, 50-1000 mW / cm < ² > is preferable. If the irradiation intensity is too weak, curing may take too long.
As a UV irradiation amount, for example, 10 to 1000 mJ / cm ² is preferable. If the irradiation amount is too small, the curing may be insufficient and the high-speed adhesive force may be too high, and if it is too large, the conformability may be insufficient due to excessive curing.

The difference between the ionizing radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling of the present invention and a conventional pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling comprising an isocyanate crosslinking agent will be described below.
The re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive needs to have a higher cross-linking density than that of a normal pressure-sensitive adhesive for the purpose of suppressing the adhesive force to a low level and suppressing an increase in the adhesive strength with time after pasting. For this purpose, the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin having more crosslinking points than usual is crosslinked with a large amount of crosslinking agent. In the generally used isocyanate cross-linking system, many high-polar urethane bonds are formed as cross-linking points, and this reduces the tack and wettability of the adhesive layer, making it difficult to express the conformability. Become. On the other hand, in the case of ionizing radiation curing, since the cross-linked portion is a nonpolar alkyl group, it is flexible and easily adaptable.
In addition, in the case of isocyanate cross-linking, since a large amount of cross-linking points are reacted with a large amount of cross-linking agent, other than problems such as easy distribution of cross-linking density, and the intended polymer cross-linking points and reaction of isocyanate compounds (urethane bonds) In addition, side reactions such as reactions between isocyanates (allophanate bonds) and reactions with moisture present in the system also occur, so that the crosslinked structure is complicated and considered to be non-uniform. On the other hand, in the case of ionizing radiation curing, the unsaturated double bond reacts with the radical to form a crosslink, so there is no side reaction such as isocyanate, and the crosslink density is relatively uniform. It is considered that the balance of conformability is excellent.
For these reasons, the content of the crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate crosslinking agent and an epoxy compound that may be included in the ionizing radiation-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling of the present invention may be within the range described below. This is a preferred form.

It is one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention that the ionizing radiation curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is cured by electron beam irradiation.
When cured by electron beam irradiation, since all starting species are polymer radicals, the balance between high-speed peelability and conformability is further improved. Further, electron beam (EB) curing has the same mechanism as ultraviolet (UV) curing using a hydrogen abstraction type initiator since it starts from generation of polymer radicals by electron beam irradiation. Strictly speaking, UV curing using a hydrogen abstraction type initiator is initiated by two types of polymer radicals and initiator radicals (in which the initiator extracts hydrogen radicals from the polymer). A polymer radical is a more preferable form because it becomes a starting species.

The curing by the electron beam irradiation may use an electron beam having an acceleration voltage of 300 kV or less. More preferably, an electron beam of 250 kV or less is used. If the acceleration voltage exceeds 300 kV, the electron beam that has passed through the composition may deteriorate the substrate. In the electron beam irradiation, the higher the acceleration voltage, the greater the electron beam transmission capability. Therefore, by selecting the accelerating voltage so that the penetration depth of the electron beam and the thickness of the resin layer are substantially equal, it is possible to suppress the irradiation of the extra electron beam to the base sheet, and the excess electron beam It is possible to minimize the deterioration of the base sheet due to the above. Thus, the optimum acceleration voltage depends on the thickness of the resin layer. Therefore, when the thickness after curing is about 5 to 50 μm, which is a preferable range, the acceleration voltage is in the range of 50 to 200 kV. preferable.
The irradiation dose is preferably adjusted to an amount that saturates the crosslinking density of the resin layer, and is usually adjusted to 5 to 300 kGy. The irradiation dose is preferably 10 to 250 kGy, more preferably 20 to 200 kGy.
As an electron beam source in the above-mentioned electron beam irradiation, for example, various electron beam accelerators such as a Cockloft Walton type, a bandegraft type, a resonant transformer type, an insulated core transformer type, a linear type, a dynamitron type, and a high frequency type are used. be able to.

As the ionizing radiation used when the ionizing radiation curable releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is cured, it is particularly preferable to use electron beam irradiation among ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and electron beam (EB) irradiation. Compared with ultraviolet rays, the number of irradiations can be reduced, and as a result, productivity can be improved with respect to the production of adhesive films and the like. In general, electron beam curing does not require a photoinitiator unlike curing by ultraviolet irradiation, so the ionizing radiation curable adhesive composition for re-peeling has good storage stability and improves coating workability, etc. Can be made.

It is preferable that the ionizing radiation-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for re-peeling further comprises 0.1 to 10% by mass of the mercaptan compound (D) with respect to 100% by mass of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. It is one of the embodiments.
By containing 0.1 to 10% by mass of the mercaptan compound (D), it is possible to effectively suppress the inhibition of curing by oxygen and to effectively suppress the local excess of the crosslinking density by the chain transfer effect. The property can be further improved.
The effect of suppressing curing inhibition by oxygen is obtained by converting a peroxy radical having no polymerization activity formed by the combination of oxygen and a radical into a thiyl radical having a polymerization activity by extracting hydrogen from the mercaptan. The conformability improving effect is considered to be obtained by controlling the local high crosslink density during ionizing radiation curing by chain transfer using a mercapto group.
If the addition amount of the mercaptan compound is less than 0.1% by mass, the effect of addition may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 10% by mass, the curability may be lowered.

The addition amount of the mercaptan compound is more preferably 0.1 to 8% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the polymer, and further preferably 0.1 to 7% by mass with respect to 100% by mass of the polymer.

In addition, the thermoplastic resin containing the lactone ring-containing polymer as a main component is excellent in optical properties such as transparency and optical isotropy and heat resistance, and is an optical planar thermoplastic resin molded body (sheet, film, etc.). And can be suitably used as a support for the ionizing radiation-curable adhesive composition for re-peeling.
The lactone ring-containing polymer is the following general formula (3);

Among these, for example, it is particularly preferable to use the surface protective film of the present invention for an optical member that has been antiglare-treated by a method of applying an inorganic or organic filler-containing resin solution. Moreover, it is preferable that the unevenness height difference of the surface of the optical member subjected to the antiglare treatment is the same as the unevenness height difference of the adherend. Furthermore, the optical member is preferably a polarizing plate.
When the surface protective film of the present invention is used for an optical member having such a form, the effect of achieving both low adhesiveness and conformability during high-speed peeling will be exhibited more remarkably.
In addition, it is preferable that the surface protection film of this invention is comprised using the adhesive film roll of this invention. As a result, advantageous effects such as more efficient surface protection of the adherend such as an optical member can be exhibited.

Then, an adhesive film cut into a size of 40 mm × 40 mm was gently placed with the adhesive side down. Then, the time required for the entire surface of the sample to get wet (accommodate) was measured after the adhesive film began to get wet with the anti-glare treatment film (after it started to adapt).

[Measurement method of low-speed adhesive strength]
The cured pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet was cut into a size of 25 mm × 150 mm, attached to a PMMA plate (manufactured by Engineering Test Service Co., Ltd.), and pressed once and reciprocally with a 2 kg roller. One hour after the pressure bonding, the adhesive strength when peeled in the 180 ° direction at a peeling speed of 0.3 m / min was measured. The low-speed adhesive force is preferably high from the viewpoint of suppressing peeling during the process and floating during autoclaving, and specifically 0.1 N / 25 mm or more.

[High-speed adhesive strength measurement method]
The cured pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet was cut into a size of 25 mm × 150 mm, attached to a PMMA plate (manufactured by Engineering Test Service Co., Ltd.), and pressed once and reciprocally with a 2 kg roller. One hour after the pressure bonding, the adhesive strength when peeled in the 180 ° direction at a peeling speed of 30 m / min was measured. The high-speed adhesive force is preferably as low as possible from the viewpoint of reducing damage to the adherend during peeling, and specifically, it is preferably 1.5 N / 25 mm or less.

[Peeling speed dependence]
The peeling speed dependency is obtained by dividing the above high-speed adhesive force by the low-speed adhesive force, but it is desirable to increase the low-speed adhesive force and reduce the high-speed adhesive force, so that it is preferably as small as possible.

Examples 2 to 22 and Comparative Examples 3 to 6
A UV-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet was prepared by performing the same operation as in Example 1 except that the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin, polyfunctional monomer, monofunctional monomer, photoinitiator, and mercaptan were changed as shown in Table 3. And the low speed adhesive force measuring method, the high speed adhesive force measuring method, the peeling rate dependence, and the conformability to a fine uneven surface were measured by the same evaluation method as Example 1.

Comparative Examples 1-2
To the adhesive resin A6, “Deyuranate D-201” (produced by Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd.), which is an isocyanate crosslinking agent, and dibutyltin dilaurate, which is a curing catalyst, are added at a blending ratio shown in Table 3 to obtain an isocyanate curable adhesive composition. It was.
This pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was applied to a PET film having a thickness of 38 μm with an applicator so that the paste thickness after drying was 20 μm, and was dried in a hot air circulating oven at 80 ° C. for 3 minutes. Next, this dried product was cured for 1 week under the conditions of 23 ° C. and 65% RH to prepare an isocyanate curable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

Examples 23-27
Trimethylolpropane triacrylate and mercaptan were added at a blending ratio shown in Table 3 to 100 parts of the adhesive resin B3 (in terms of solid content) to obtain an EB curable adhesive composition.
This pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was applied to a PET film having a thickness of 38 μm with an applicator so that the paste thickness after drying was 20 μm, and was dried in a hot air circulating oven at 80 ° C. for 3 minutes. Subsequently, this dried product was irradiated with EB under the conditions of an acceleration voltage of 130 kV and an irradiation dose of 60 kGy with an EB irradiator to prepare an EB curable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
The results of these Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 3 and Table 4 below.

In Table 3 and Table 4, abbreviations indicate the following.
A-TMPT: trimethylolpropane triacrylate EHDG: 2-ethylhexyl-diglycol acrylate BP: benzophenone MBB: O-benzoylbenzoic acid 4-ClBP: 4-chlorobenzophenone DETX-S: 2,4-diethylthioxanthone IRG184: Irgacure 184 (1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone)
IRG651: Irgacure 651 (2,2-dimethoxy-1,2-diphenylmethane-1-one)
IRG819: Irgacure 819 [bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phenylphosphine oxide]
PEMP: Pentaerythritol tetrakis (β-mercaptopropionate)
n-DM: n-dodecyl mercaptan TMMP: trimethylolpropane tris (β-mercaptopropionate)
A-HD: 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate A-NOD: 1,9-nonanediol diacrylate

From the said Example and the comparative example, it turned out that it can say as follows.
The UV curable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of Example 1 satisfies a low-speed adhesive strength of 0.1 N / 25 mm or more, a high-speed adhesive strength of 1.5 N / 25 mm or less, a peeling rate dependency of 10 or less, and a conformability to fine uneven surfaces. Thus, it can be seen that the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has both high-speed peelability and conformability.
On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 is an isocyanate-curing type pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Although the conformability is acceptable, the high-speed adhesive strength exceeds 1.5 N / 25 mm, and both the high-speed peelability and the conformability cannot be achieved. In Comparative Example 2 in which the addition amount of the isocyanate crosslinking agent was further increased in order to lower the high-speed adhesive force, the high-speed adhesive force managed to satisfy 1.5 N / 25 mm. Are not compatible.

In Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 3, the double bond introduction amount of the UV curable pressure-sensitive adhesive resin was changed stepwise from 0 to 0.300 mmol / g. By reducing the amount of polyfunctional monomer as the amount of double bonds increases, the adhesive resin with a double bond introduction amount of 0 to 0.200 mmol / g has low speed, high speed adhesive force and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces. It becomes a compatible adhesive sheet. On the other hand, if the double bond introduction amount is too large, 0.300 mmol / g, it becomes impossible to achieve both high-speed adhesive force and conformability.

Moreover, Examples 7-9 and Comparative Example 4 are the results of changing the monomer composition of the UV curable adhesive resin. In Examples 7 to 9 containing 50 mass% or more of an alkyl acrylate having 9 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces can be achieved. In Comparative Example 4 in which the amount of alkyl ester of 9 to 14 is less than 50% by mass, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces cannot be achieved.

Examples 10 to 13 are results showing the effect of adding mercaptans to the UV curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. In Example 10 which does not contain a mercaptan, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces can be achieved, but in Examples 11 to 13 to which mercaptan is added, the compatibility is greatly improved.

Furthermore, Examples 14 and 15 are the results of using a trifunctional monomer and a bifunctional monomer in combination as the polyfunctional monomer of the UV curable adhesive composition. Thus, even when a functional monomer and a bifunctional monomer are used in combination, high-speed peelability and compatibility with a fine uneven surface can be achieved.

Examples 16 to 19 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6 were carried out by changing the type of photoinitiator of the UV curable adhesive composition. In Examples 16 to 19 using a hydrogen abstraction type initiator, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with a fine uneven surface are compatible, but in Comparative Examples 5 and 6 using a self-cleavage type initiator, high-speed adhesion is achieved. Although the power is high, the conformability deteriorates, indicating that the crosslinking efficiency is poor.

Examples 20 and 21 are the results of blending UV curable adhesive resin with and without an introduced double bond. It can be seen that even when blended in this way, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces can be achieved.

Example 22 is the result of the combined use of a monofunctional monomer of the UV curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. When the irradiation amount is small, unreacted monofunctional monomer tends to remain, but the residual monomer can be reduced by using a small amount of a self-cleaving initiator. Further, even when a monofunctional monomer and a self-cleaving initiator are used in combination, high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces can be achieved.

Examples 23 to 27 are the results of the EB curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. As with UV curable adhesive compositions, both high-speed peelability and compatibility with fine uneven surfaces can be achieved, and it is possible to further reduce high-speed adhesive strength while maintaining high compatibility. . This is probably because EB curing has better crosslinking efficiency than UV curing.
