When the ratio of the blending amount of the fluororesin fine particles is not less than the lower limit, the wear resistance of the adhesive layer is further improved, and the ratio of the blending amount of the fluororesin fine particles is not more than the upper limit, The adhesive strength of the layer and the feed property of the releasable sheet are further improved.

(Hard fine particles)
The hard fine particles are made of a material having a larger Rockwell hardness value than the fluororesin constituting the fluororesin fine particles. Here, the Rockwell hardness has three types of scales of R, L, and M, but comparison of the Rockwell hardness with the fluororesin needs to be performed on the same scale.

The hard fine particles function as a filler and at the same time improve the feed characteristics of the releasable sheet.
The material of the hard fine particles (that is, the material having a larger Rockwell hardness value than the fluororesin) is not particularly limited as long as the above conditions are satisfied, and may be either an organic material or an inorganic material. Examples thereof include acrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA); polypropylene (PP); alumina (aluminum oxide); glass; calcium carbonate. Here, the acrylic resin is a kind of a polymer of (meth) acrylic acid ester or a copolymer of two or more kinds of (meth) acrylic acid ester. In this specification, “(meth) acrylic acid” Is a concept encompassing both “acrylic acid” and “methacrylic acid”.
Among these, the hard fine particles are preferably made of an organic material.

  The material of the hard fine particles may be only one type or two or more types. That is, hard fine particles composed of one kind of material may be used alone, or two or more kinds of hard fine particles composed of one kind of material and having different materials may be used in combination. When the material of the hard fine particles is two or more kinds, the combination and ratio of these materials may be appropriately adjusted according to the purpose.

When the average particle size of the hard fine particles is equal to or larger than the lower limit, the feed property of the releasable sheet is further improved, and when the average particle size of the hard fine particles is equal to or smaller than the upper limit, the adhesive force of the adhesive layer Will be improved.

In the composition, the blending amount of the hard fine particles is not less than the blending amount of the fluororesin microparticles, and is preferably larger than the blending amount of the fluororesin microparticles. By doing in this way, the feed characteristic of a releasable sheet improves. And, since the feed property of the releasable sheet is further improved, in the composition, the mass ratio of the blended amount of the hard fine particles to the blended amount of the fluororesin fine particles ([the blended amount of hard fine particles (parts by mass)] / [ The blending amount (parts by mass) of the fluororesin fine particles] is preferably 1.1 or more, more preferably 1.3 or more, and particularly preferably 1.5 or more.
Further, since the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is further improved, in the composition, the mass ratio of the hard fine particles to the fluorine resin fine particles is preferably 10.0 or less, 7.5 More preferably, it is more preferably 5.0 or less.

(Other ingredients)
In addition to the adhesive base, the fluororesin fine particles, and the hard fine particles, the composition may further contain other components that do not fall within the scope of the effects of the present invention.
Examples of the other components include fine particles other than the fluororesin fine particles and hard fine particles, additives, and solvents.

  The other fine particles are mainly composed of a fluororesin as a main material, and a material other than a material having a Rockwell hardness value larger than that of the fluororesin. Specific examples of such a material include various starches (starch) and polyethylene. And silica, shirasu balloon, natural zeolite, synthetic zeolite, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, kaolin, activated clay and the like. Among these, starch (starch) and silica are preferable as the material of the other fine particles. For example, by using silica, the strength of the adhesive layer is increased, and the adhesive base easily adheres to the filler surface due to its porous property, so the adhesive force and removability can be adjusted more easily. it can. In addition, even when printing on the adhesive layer using a non-impact printer method that requires the use of silicone oil, silica absorbs the silicone oil, so the effect of suppressing a decrease in the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer due to the silicone oil becomes higher. .

The other fine particles preferably have an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 30 μm, more preferably 1 to 20 μm, and particularly preferably 2 to 15 μm.
The other fine particles are preferably used in combination of two or more kinds having different average particle diameters. By doing in this way, it becomes easy to form an unevenness | corrugation in the adhesive bond layer surface, As a result, removability improves more, without impairing the adhesive force of an adhesive bond layer.

  The material of the other fine particles may be one kind or two or more kinds. That is, other fine particles made of one kind of material may be used alone, or two or more kinds of other fine particles made of one kind of material and having different materials may be used in combination. In the case where there are two or more materials of the other fine particles, the combination and ratio of these materials may be appropriately adjusted according to the purpose.

  In the composition, the ratio of the amount of the other fine particles to the total amount of the solid compounding components can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the type and purpose of the other fine particles. For example, the ratio of the total amount of starch (starch) fine particles and silica fine particles to the total amount of solid compounding components is preferably 5 to 40% by mass, and more preferably 10 to 30% by mass. When the ratio of the total amount of these fine particles is not less than the above lower limit value, the effect of using these fine particles is sufficiently obtained, and the ratio of the total amount of these fine particles is not more than the above upper limit value. The effect of the present invention is further improved.

  The additive may be a known one that is usually used in the field of pressure-sensitive adhesives. Specifically, a tackifier, a viscosity modifier, an anti-aging agent, a stabilizer, a colorant, a preservative, an antioxidant, Examples include antifoaming agents and antifungal agents. From these, one or more desired components can be blended in any amount depending on the purpose.

  For example, as will be described later, other components other than the solvent such as the adhesive base, fluororesin fine particles, hard fine particles, and other fine particles may be blended as a dispersion using various solvents at the time of preparing the composition. . Examples of the solvent in the other components include the dispersion medium at this time and various solvents used for adjusting the viscosity of the composition, and more specifically, water and various organic solvents.

As said water, ion-exchange water is preferable.
The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it does not deteriorate the compounding components, but is preferably a highly polar organic solvent, specifically, an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol; acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc. Examples of chain or cyclic ketones include chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran.
The said organic solvent may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together. When two or more kinds are used in combination, their combination and ratio may be appropriately selected according to the purpose.

  The solvent is preferably water or a mixed solvent of water and a highly polar organic solvent, and the mixed solvent is more preferable as the ratio of water is higher. And as said solvent, water is especially preferable.

  In the composition, the blending amount of the solvent may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the type of blending component and the like, but is 25 to 400 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of solid blending components. Preferably, it is 65 to 250 parts by mass. When the blending amount of the solvent is not less than the lower limit, the composition can be handled more easily, and when the blending amount of the solvent is not more than the upper limit, the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is further improved.

  In the composition, the total amount of the other components other than the solvent can be arbitrarily adjusted within a range not impairing the effects of the present invention.

<Method for producing pressure-sensitive adhesive composition>
The composition can be produced by blending the adhesive base, fluororesin fine particles, hard fine particles, and other components as required.
At the time of blending each component, all the components may be added and then mixed, or some components may be mixed while being added sequentially, or all components may be mixed while being added sequentially. Good. The solid component may be added as a dispersion in which at least a part thereof is dispersed in a solvent.
The mixing method is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected from known methods such as a method of mixing by rotating a stirrer or a stirring blade, a method of mixing using a mixer, a method of adding ultrasonic waves, and the like. . And it is preferable to stir until the component which is not melt | dissolving disperse | distributes uniformly.

  The temperature at the time of compounding is not particularly limited as long as each compounding component does not deteriorate, but it is preferably 15 to 30 ° C. Moreover, what is necessary is just to adjust a mixing time suitably according to the kind of compounding component, and the temperature at the time of a mixing | blending, For example, it is preferable that it is 0.5 to 24 hours.

<Removable sheet>
In the releasable sheet according to the present invention, the overlapping surfaces of the sheets are bonded to each other so as to be peeled off by the adhesive layer formed using the composition.
The said sheet | seat is a base material which forms an adhesive bond layer, and an adhesive bond layer can be formed by apply | coating the said composition to the predetermined location of a sheet | seat, and making it dry, for example.

  The said sheet | seat can be arbitrarily selected according to the intended purpose of a releasable sheet. For example, as a preferable releasable sheet, a pressure-sensitive pressure-bonding postcard when paper is used as the substrate can be exemplified.

  The material of the sheet is not particularly limited as long as the composition can be applied, and can be arbitrarily selected according to the purpose. Specific examples of preferred materials for the sheet include paper such as base paper, art paper, coated paper, cast coated paper, resin coated paper, and synthetic paper; polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetate, acrylic Resin, AS resin, ABS resin, polyamide, polyacetal, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polybutylene naphthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polycarbonate, epoxy resin, melamine resin, phenol resin, Examples include synthetic resins such as urea resin, polyurethane, and polyimide.

  The sheet may be composed of a single layer, or may be composed of two or more layers (multiple layers are laminated). And when it consists of multiple layers, the material of these multiple layers may be only 1 type, 2 or more types, and when it is 2 or more types, the combination and ratio of these materials can be arbitrarily selected according to the objective.

When the material of the sheet is the synthetic resin, the surface of the sheet is preferably subjected to a surface treatment such as a mat treatment or a corona treatment.
In the present invention, it is preferable that the material of the application surface of the composition is paper.

  Although the thickness of a sheet | seat is not specifically limited, Usually, it is preferable that it is 50-200 micrometers, and it is more preferable that it is 80-150 micrometers. When the sheet is composed of a plurality of layers, the total thickness of the plurality of layers is preferably in the above numerical range.

  A method for coating the composition on the sheet is not particularly limited, and a known method can be appropriately used. Preferred methods include an air knife coater, a curtain coater, a die coater, a blade coater, a roll coater, and a gate roll coater. Examples thereof include various coaters such as bar coaters, rod coaters, and gravure coaters; and a method of coating using an apparatus such as a wire bar.

  The composition may be applied once or may be divided into a plurality of times. When performing by dividing into multiple times, either a method of further applying on a dried coated surface or a method of further applying on a non-dried coated surface may be used.

The coating amount of the composition may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the solid content concentration of the composition. Usually, preferably 1 to 30 g / ^{m 2} is coated amount of solids, more preferably 1.5 to 20 / ^{m 2,} particularly preferably such that 2 to 15 g / ^{m 2,} coating compositions Adjust the amount. When the coating amount of the solid content is equal to or higher than the lower limit value, the adhesive force of the adhesive layer is further improved, and when the coating amount of the solid content is equal to or lower than the upper limit value, the removability is better. Become.

  The coated composition may be dried, for example, under normal pressure, reduced pressure, or blowing conditions, or may be performed under air or an inert gas atmosphere. Also, the drying temperature is not particularly limited, and may be either heat drying or room temperature drying. And other drying conditions, such as drying time, should just be set suitably according to the drying method.

  The adhesive layer preferably has a thickness of 3 to 40 μm, and more preferably 5 to 30 μm. By being in such a range, the same effect as the case where the coating amount of the solid content of the composition is limited as described above can be obtained.

  The adhesive layer has a uniform composition regardless of the site by being formed using the composition in which the components are uniformly dissolved or dispersed. Therefore, when considering an arbitrary cross section other than the surface (adhesive surface) of the adhesive layer and paying attention to a specific component, the concentration of the component in the cross section is the same as the concentration in the adhesive surface, or It is a very close value that can be regarded as the same. Therefore, for example, when focusing on fine particles such as fluororesin fine particles, hard fine particles, and other fine particles as a component, and observing each surface looking down from above (ie, in plan view) as an index representing the amount thereof When the area values of these contained components are adopted, the ratio of the total area value of the contained components in each surface is also the same in the cross section and the adhesive surface, or very close to the extent that can be regarded as the same. It becomes the value. Thus, since the concentration of the contained component in the cross section and the adhesive surface is the same, when attention is paid to two or more contained components, the concentration ratio of these contained components (for example, the fluororesin with respect to the concentration of the hard fine particles) Similarly, the ratio of the concentration of fine particles ([concentration of fluororesin fine particles] / [concentration of hard fine particles]) is the same in the cross section and the adhesive surface.

  The releasable sheet according to the present invention has good feed characteristics. The reason for this is that since hard fine particles exist on the surface of the adhesive layer formed from the composition, when the releasable sheet is fed to various devices, the members in the device and the adhesive layer are in contact with each other. However, the area value of the contact surface is reduced, the movement (transfer) from the fluororesin adhesive layer, which is a soft material, to the member is suppressed, and an excessive decrease in the frictional resistance value in the member is suppressed. It is estimated that. In addition to being hard, the hard fine particles have a high affinity with the adhesive base. Therefore, even if the member in the apparatus and the adhesive layer come into contact with each other, the movement from the adhesive layer to the member hardly occurs from the beginning.

  When information such as characters is recorded on the overlapping surface of the sheet, the information may be recorded on a sheet serving as a base material or may be recorded on an adhesive layer. The information recording process may be performed at a timing suitable for the recording part of the information. For example, after forming the adhesive layer after recording information on the sheet, or after forming the adhesive layer on the sheet Information may be recorded on it.

  The color and transparency of the adhesive layer may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the information recording site. For example, when information is recorded on a sheet, the adhesive layer is preferably as the color is lighter and the transparency is higher, and is particularly preferably colorless and transparent. On the other hand, this is not the case when information is recorded on the adhesive layer. What is necessary is just to adjust the color and transparency of an adhesive bond layer suitably with the kind and quantity, etc. of the compounding component of the said composition.

As shown in FIG. 10, the partially folded postcard 21 configured in this manner is folded at the fold line 3 and is formed on the back surface and the left partitioned area of the right partitioned area G to be the overlapping surface, as shown in FIG. 10. When the adhesive layers 6 on the partial back surface of F are brought into contact with each other and a pressure is applied, the overlapping surfaces of the respective sections are bonded to each other through the adhesive layer 6 so as to be removable.

  In these embodiments, the example in which the concealment information print 5 is applied on the adhesive layer 6 has been shown. However, the concealment information print 5 can also be applied directly to the corresponding portion of the base sheet 2, and the recipient can overlap it. By re-peeling the mating surfaces, the concealment information 5 formed under the adhesive layer 6 can be read. However, from the viewpoint of ease of reading, it is preferable to perform concealment information printing 5 on the adhesive layer 6.

  The releasable sheet according to the present invention is suitable as a confidential information recording sheet in which various types of information such as characters and images are recorded on the overlapping surface of the sheets. In addition, although the pressure-sensitive pressure-bonding postcard has been described here, by appropriately selecting the configuration other than the composition, such as the material and shape of the sheet serving as the base material, the formation site of the adhesive layer, etc., it can be used in various applications. Applicable.

  The re-peelable sheet according to the present invention has good feed characteristics due to the use of the composition, and can be fed without stagnation without any abnormalities such as slippage in an apparatus for handling the sheet. Moreover, since the said adhesive bond layer is excellent in abrasion resistance in addition to removability, a releasable sheet can be manufactured with favorable quality by a stable manufacturing process.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

A composition for pressure-sensitive adhesive and a releasable sheet were produced and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1 except that they were blended. The results are shown in Table 3.

[Comparative Example 1]
As shown in Table 1, the same amount as in Example 1 except that the amount of PTFE fine particles was changed to 4 parts by mass to be 12 parts by mass, and the amount of PMMA fine particles was changed to 15 parts by mass to be 8 parts by mass. A pressure sensitive adhesive composition and a releasable sheet were produced by the method and evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3.

[Comparative Example 2]
As shown in Table 1, the composition for pressure-sensitive adhesives was the same as in Example 1 except that the amount of PTFE fine particles was changed to 4 parts by mass and 12 parts by mass, and no PMMA fine particles were added. A releasable sheet was produced and evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3.

[Comparative Example 3]

  Table 2 shows the measured values of Rockwell hardness and average particle diameter of the fine particles used in the above Examples and Comparative Examples.

In each of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exhibits a good re-peelability equivalent to that of the conventional product and has sufficient adhesive strength as described above. It was.
As is apparent from the above results, in Examples 1 to 3, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer was excellent in wear resistance, and the removable sheet had good feed characteristics.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the total blending amount of the fluororesin fine particles and the hard fine particles was almost the same as in Examples 1 to 3, but the blending amount of the fluororesin fine particles was larger than the blending amount of the hard fine particles. Although the wear resistance was excellent, the feed characteristics were poor. In Comparative Example 2, the same result as in Comparative Example 1 was obtained because no hard fine particles were blended. In Comparative Example 3, on the contrary, since the fluororesin fine particles were not blended, the feed characteristics were good, but the wear resistance was poor. In Comparative Example 4, no hard fine particles are blended, whereas the ratio of the amount of the fluororesin fine particles to the blend amount of the adhesive base is smaller than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the feed characteristics are good. However, the wear resistance was poor.
From the above results, pressure sensitive adhesive can be obtained by using a composition in which both fluororesin fine particles and hard fine particles are blended and the amount of hard fine particles is greater than or equal to the amount of fluororesin fine particles. It was confirmed that the agent layer was excellent in wear resistance without impairing the adhesive strength, and the feed characteristics of the releasable sheet were improved.

  The present invention can be used for a secret information recording sheet, such as a pressure-sensitive pressure-bonding postcard.
