Description

  The present invention relates to an adhesive sheet and an optical member protected by the adhesive sheet.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is a surface protective film used for the purpose of protecting the surface of an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a wave plate, a phase difference plate, an optical compensation film, a reflection sheet, and a brightness enhancement film used for a liquid crystal display, etc. Useful.

  In recent years, when optical components and electronic components are transported or mounted on a printed circuit board, the components are transported in a state where each component is packaged with a predetermined sheet or a state where an adhesive tape is attached. Among these, surface protective films are particularly widely used in the field of optical and electronic components.

  The surface protective film is generally used for the purpose of preventing scratches and dirt generated during the processing and transportation of the adherend by attaching it to the adherend (protected body) via an adhesive applied to the support film side. (Patent Document 1). For example, a panel of a liquid crystal display is formed by bonding an optical member such as a polarizing plate or a wave plate to a liquid crystal cell via an adhesive. As for these optical members, the surface protection film is bonded together through the adhesive, and the damage | wound and dirt which arise at the time of a process and conveyance of a to-be-adhered body are prevented.

  When attached to an adherend (such as a polarizing plate) on the surface protective film, unnecessary or unintentional curling (curling is curled) on the adherend (such as a polarizing plate) to which the surface protective film is attached. For example, a flat plate-like object is generally warped to one of the surfaces, and a flat-plate object is generally warped so as to be wavy.) Adjustability has been demanded. When unnecessary curling or unintentional curling occurs, the handleability is inferior. For example, when an adherend such as a polarizing plate is attached to a liquid crystal cell, problems such as entrapment of bubbles may occur.

  In addition, when curling occurs on a flat adherend, a force accompanying the curl acts in the shear direction on the adhesive layer of the surface protective film bonded to the adherend, and this force causes the adherend to adhere. Since slippage and displacement occur gradually between the body and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, improvement in shearing force during low-speed peeling is required.

  In the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, it is preferable that the antistatic agent composition further contains a fatty acid amide as a lubricant.

  The optical member of the present invention is preferably protected by the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

  Since the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is excellent in shearing force at the time of low-speed peeling, it can suppress unnecessary curling and unintended curling on the adherend when it is bonded to the adherend, and is useful. is there.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

<Overall structure of adhesive sheet (surface protective film)>
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) of the present invention is generally in the form of a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, pressure-sensitive adhesive label, pressure-sensitive adhesive film, etc., and particularly optical components (for example, liquid crystals such as polarizing plates and wave plates). It is suitable as a surface protective film for protecting the surface of the optical component during processing or transport of the optical component used as a display panel component. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is typically formed continuously, but is not limited to such a form, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive formed in a regular or random pattern such as a spot or stripe. It may be an agent layer. Further, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet disclosed herein may be in the form of a roll or a single sheet.

  Typical examples of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) disclosed herein include those having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side or both sides of the support film (base material), or antistatic provided on one side of the support film. And a layer provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the surface of the support film opposite to the antistatic layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used by attaching this pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to an adherend (the surface of an optical component such as a polarizing plate). The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet before use (that is, before sticking to the adherend) is protected by a release liner whose surface (sticking surface to the adherend) is at least the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side. The form may be sufficient. Or the form by which the adhesive layer contact | abutted to the back surface (surface of the antistatic layer) of the support film and the surface was protected by winding an adhesive sheet in roll shape may be sufficient.

<Support film>
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed from a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on one side or both sides of a support film. The resin material constituting the support film can be used without any particular limitation. For example, transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture shielding properties, isotropic properties, flexibility, dimensional stability, etc. It is preferable to use one having excellent characteristics. In particular, since the support film has flexibility, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be applied by a roll coater or the like, and can be wound into a roll, which is useful.

  Examples of the support film (base material) include polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polybutylene terephthalate; cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose; polycarbonate polymers; A plastic film composed of a resin material having an acrylic polymer such as methyl methacrylate as a main resin component (a main component of the resin component, typically a component occupying 50% by mass or more) is used as the support film. It can be preferably used. Other examples of the resin material include styrene polymers such as polystyrene and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers; olefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefins having a cyclic or norbornene structure, and ethylene-propylene copolymers; Examples of the resin material include vinyl chloride polymers; amide polymers such as nylon 6, nylon 6,6, and aromatic polyamide. Still other examples of the resin material include imide polymers, sulfone polymers, polyether sulfone polymers, polyether ether ketone polymers, polyphenylene sulfide polymers, vinyl alcohol polymers, vinylidene chloride polymers, vinyl butyral polymers. , Arylate polymers, polyoxymethylene polymers, epoxy polymers and the like. A support film made of a blend of two or more of the above-described polymers may be used.

  As the support film, a plastic film made of a transparent thermoplastic resin material can be preferably used. Among the plastic films, it is more preferable to use a polyester film. Here, the polyester film is one having a polymer material (polyester resin) having a main skeleton based on an ester bond such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), or polybutylene terephthalate as a main resin component. Say. Such a polyester film has preferable characteristics as a support film for the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, such as excellent optical characteristics and dimensional stability, and has the property of being easily charged as it is.

  Various additives such as an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a plasticizer, and a colorant (pigment, dye, etc.) may be blended in the resin material constituting the support film, if necessary. For example, corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, ultraviolet irradiation treatment, acid treatment, alkali treatment, and application of a primer are applied to the first surface of the support film (the surface on which the antistatic layer is provided). The surface treatment may be performed. Such a surface treatment can be, for example, a treatment for enhancing the adhesion between the support film and the antistatic layer. A surface treatment in which polar groups such as hydroxyl groups (—OH groups) are introduced on the surface of the support film can be preferably employed. Moreover, the surface treatment similar to the above may be given to the 2nd surface (surface on the side in which an adhesive layer is formed) of a support film. Such a surface treatment may be a treatment for enhancing the adhesion between the film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (the anchoring property of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer).

  In addition, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention can have an antistatic layer on the support film, but when it has an antistatic function, a plastic film that has been subjected to antistatic treatment is used as the support film. It is also possible to do. Use of the support film is preferable because charging of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet itself when peeled can be suppressed. Further, the support film is a plastic film, and by applying an antistatic treatment to the plastic film, it is possible to reduce the charge of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet itself and to have an excellent antistatic ability to the adherend. In addition, there is no restriction | limiting in particular as a method to provide an antistatic function, A conventionally well-known method can be used, for example, antistatic resin which consists of an antistatic agent and a resin component, a conductive polymer, and a conductive substance. Examples thereof include a method of applying a conductive resin, a method of depositing or plating a conductive material, a method of kneading an antistatic agent, and the like.

  The thickness of the support film is usually 5 to 200 μm, preferably about 10 to 100 μm. When the thickness of the support film is within the above range, it is preferable because the workability for bonding to the adherend and the workability for peeling from the adherend are excellent.

<Adhesive composition>
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) of the present invention has the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed from a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has adhesiveness. If it is, it can use without a restriction | limiting especially, For example, an acrylic adhesive, a urethane adhesive, a synthetic rubber adhesive, a natural rubber adhesive, a silicone adhesive etc. can also be used. Among these, more preferably, it is at least one selected from the group consisting of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and particularly preferably an acrylic type using a (meth) acrylic polymer. It is to use an adhesive.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition used in the present invention preferably contains a (meth) acrylic polymer having a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group. By using the (meth) acrylic polymer having the hydroxyl group and the carboxyl group, the hydroxyl group can easily control the crosslinking, and the carboxyl group improves the shearing force, Since an increase in adhesive strength over time can be prevented, this is a preferred embodiment. In particular, by improving the shearing force of the adhesive (layer), curling based on the adherend can be suppressed by adhering the adhesive to the adherend, and between the adhesive and the adherend (interface) ) Is preferable because the occurrence of slippage and deviation in the above can be suppressed. In the present invention, the (meth) acrylic polymer refers to an acrylic polymer and / or a methacrylic polymer, and the (meth) acrylate refers to acrylate and / or methacrylate.

  In addition, when the (meth) acrylic polymer uses the hydroxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer as a monomer component, it becomes easy to control the crosslinking of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and thus improves the wettability by flow. And it becomes easy to control the balance of cohesive force and shear force of the adhesive (layer). Furthermore, when an antistatic agent is added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive, the hydroxyl group has an appropriate interaction with an ionic compound that is an antistatic agent, unlike a carboxyl group or a sulfonate group that can generally act as a crosslinking site. Therefore, it can be suitably used also in terms of antistatic properties.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention preferably contains 5.1% by mass or more of a hydroxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer with respect to the total amount of monomer components constituting the (meth) acrylic polymer, more preferably It is 5.3-15 mass%, More preferably, it is 7-12 mass%.

  In addition, the (meth) acrylic polymer can suppress an increase in adhesive strength over time of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) by using the carboxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer as a monomer component. It is excellent in re-peelability, prevention of increase in adhesive strength, and workability, and in addition to the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is excellent in shearing force, which is preferable.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention contains 0.01% by mass or more and less than 0.5% by mass of a carboxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer with respect to the total amount of monomer components constituting the (meth) acrylic polymer. More preferably, it is 0.01 or more and less than 0.4 mass%, More preferably, it is 0.01 or more and less than 0.3 mass%, Most preferably, it is 0.01 or more and less than 0.2 mass%. Within the above range, an increase in adhesive force over time can be suppressed, and the removability, the adhesive force increase preventing property, and the workability are excellent. In addition to the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is excellent in shearing force, which is preferable. If there are a large number of acid functional groups such as a carboxyl group having a large polar action, an acid functional group such as a carboxyl group interacts with the ionic compound when an ionic compound is blended as an antistatic agent. As a result, ion conduction is hindered, conductivity efficiency is lowered, and sufficient antistatic properties may not be obtained.

  Examples of the carboxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer include (meth) acrylic acid, carboxylethyl (meth) acrylate, carboxylpentyl (meth) acrylate, 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl hexahydrophthalic acid, 2 -(Meth) acryloyloxypropylhexahydrophthalic acid, 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl phthalic acid, 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl succinic acid, 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl maleic acid, carboxy Examples thereof include polycaprolactone mono (meth) acrylate and 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl tetrahydrophthalic acid.

As said (meth) acrylic-type monomer, 1 type (s) or 2 or more types can be used as a main component. The “main component” means that the blending ratio is the highest.

  Specific examples of the (meth) acrylic monomer having an alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms include, for example, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, n-butyl (meth) acrylate, s-butyl (meth) ) Acrylate, t-butyl (meth) acrylate, isobutyl (meth) acrylate, hexyl (meth) acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate, n-octyl (meth) acrylate, isooctyl (meth) acrylate, n-nonyl ( (Meth) acrylate, isononyl (meth) acrylate, n-decyl (meth) acrylate, isodecyl (meth) acrylate, n-dodecyl (meth) acrylate, n-tridecyl (meth) acrylate, n-tetradecyl (meth) acrylate, etc. It is done.

By using (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, it becomes easy to control the adhesive force to the adherend to be low, and the removability is excellent.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention contains 50 to 94.99 mass of the (meth) acrylic monomer having an alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms with respect to the total amount of monomer components constituting the (meth) acrylic polymer. %, More preferably 60 to 94.9% by mass, still more preferably 70 to 94.8% by mass, and most preferably 80 to 94.7% by mass. By being in the said range, an adhesive composition has moderate wettability and is excellent also in the cohesion force of an adhesive (layer), and is preferable.

  In addition, as another polymerizable monomer component, the Tg is 0 ° C. or lower (usually −100 ° C. or higher) for the reason that it is easy to balance the adhesive performance, and the glass transition temperature or peeling of the (meth) acrylic polymer. A polymerizable monomer or the like for adjusting the property can be used as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

  Other than the hydroxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer, carboxyl group-containing (meth) acrylic monomer, and (meth) acrylic monomer having an alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms used in the (meth) acrylic polymer The other polymerizable monomer can be used without particular limitation as long as it does not impair the characteristics of the present invention. For example, cohesive strength / heat resistance improving components such as cyano group-containing monomers, vinyl ester monomers, aromatic vinyl monomers, amide group-containing monomers, imide group-containing monomers, amino group-containing monomers, epoxy group-containing monomers, N-acryloylmorpholine In addition, a component having a functional group that functions as an adhesive (adhesive) strength improvement or a crosslinking base point such as a vinyl ether monomer can be appropriately used. These polymerizable monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Examples of the cyano group-containing monomer include acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile.

By using the other polymerizable monomer within the above range, good interaction with an ionic compound that can be used as an antistatic agent and good removability can be appropriately adjusted.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer has a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 5,000,000, preferably 200,000 to 4,000,000, and more preferably 300,000 to 3,000,000. When the weight average molecular weight is smaller than 100,000, there is a tendency for adhesive residue to occur due to the reduced cohesive force of the resulting pressure-sensitive adhesive (layer). On the other hand, if the weight average molecular weight exceeds 5,000,000, the fluidity of the polymer is lowered and the adherend (for example, a polarizing plate as an optical member) is insufficiently wetted. There is a tendency to cause blisters generated between the agent composition layer. In addition, a weight average molecular weight means what was obtained by measuring by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).

  In addition, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the (meth) acrylic polymer is preferably 0 ° C. or lower, more preferably −10 ° C. or lower, and further preferably −20 ° C. or lower (usually −100 ° C. or higher). . When the glass transition temperature is higher than 0 ° C., the polymer is difficult to flow, for example, the wettability to the adherend (for example, a polarizing plate as an optical member) is insufficient, and the adhesive composition of the adherend and the adhesive sheet There is a tendency to cause blisters generated between the material layers. In particular, by setting the glass transition temperature to −61 ° C. or lower, it becomes easy to obtain a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition excellent in wettability to the adherend and light peelability. In addition, the glass transition temperature of a (meth) acrylic-type polymer can be adjusted in the said range by changing the monomer component and composition ratio to be used suitably.

  The polymerization method of the (meth) acrylic polymer used in the present invention is not particularly limited and can be polymerized by known methods such as solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, etc. In view of characteristics such as low contamination to the adherend and solution, solution polymerization is a more preferable embodiment. Further, the polymer obtained may be any of a random copolymer, a block copolymer, an alternating copolymer, a graft copolymer, and the like.

By containing these ionic compounds, excellent antistatic properties can be imparted.

  The content of the ionic compound is preferably 1 part by mass or less, more preferably 0.001 to 0.9 part by mass, and still more preferably 0.001 part by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer. 005 to 0.8 parts by mass.

It is preferable for it to be in the above-mentioned range since it is easy to achieve both antistatic properties and light releasability (removability).

  In the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) of the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition preferably contains a crosslinking agent. Moreover, in this invention, it is set as an adhesive layer using the said adhesive composition. For example, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains the (meth) acrylic polymer, the structural unit, the structural ratio, the selection and addition ratio of the crosslinking agent, etc. of the (meth) acrylic polymer are appropriately adjusted for crosslinking. Thereby, the adhesive sheet (adhesive layer) more excellent in heat resistance can be obtained.

  As the crosslinking agent used in the present invention, an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound, a melamine resin, an aziridine derivative, a metal chelate compound, or the like may be used. In particular, the use of an isocyanate compound is a preferred embodiment. Moreover, these compounds may be used independently and may be used in mixture of 2 or more types.

These isocyanate compounds may be used alone, or may be used in combination of two or more, and a bifunctional isocyanate compound and a trifunctional or higher isocyanate compound may be used in combination. By using a cross-linking agent in combination, it becomes possible to achieve both tackiness and resilience resistance (adhesion to curved surfaces), and a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) with better adhesion reliability can be obtained.

  Examples of the epoxy compound include N, N, N ′, N′-tetraglycidyl-m-xylenediamine (trade name: TETRAD-X, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company) and 1,3-bis (N, N-dioxy). Glycidylaminomethyl) cyclohexane (trade name: TETRAD-C, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.).

  The content of the crosslinking agent used in the present invention is, for example, preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, and 0.1 to 8 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer. It is more preferably contained, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by mass, and most preferably 1.0 to 2.5 parts by mass. When the content is less than 0.01 parts by mass, the crosslinking formation by the crosslinking agent becomes insufficient, the cohesive force of the resulting pressure-sensitive adhesive layer becomes small, and sufficient heat resistance may not be obtained, It tends to cause glue residue. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 10 parts by mass, the cohesive force of the polymer is large, the fluidity is lowered, the wettability to the adherend (for example, polarizing plate) becomes insufficient, and the adherend and the pressure-sensitive adhesive. There is a tendency to cause blisters generated between the layer (adhesive composition layer).

When the weight average molecular weight is 30000 or more, the adhesion (adhesion) property is lowered. On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight is less than 1000, the molecular weight becomes low, which causes a decrease in the adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet.

  Further, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can contain a compound that causes keto-enol tautomerism as a crosslinking retarder.

It is produced by forming. Thereafter, curing may be performed for the purpose of adjusting the component transfer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or the crosslinking reaction. In addition, when a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is applied on a support film to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, one or more solvents other than the polymerization solvent are newly added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be uniformly applied on the support film. You may add to.

By using the water-soluble conductive polymer-containing aqueous solution, an antistatic layer having an excellent surface resistance value with time can be obtained, which is a preferred embodiment. On the other hand, when the conductive polymer used in forming the antistatic layer is “water-dispersible”, aggregates are generated when the antistatic layer is formed using the water-dispersible conductive polymer-containing solution.

Thus, the aspect in which the surface of the antistatic layer is not further peeled can prevent whitening due to the peeling treatment agent (for example, whitening due to storage under heating and humidification conditions). This is preferable. It is also advantageous from the viewpoint of solvent resistance.

  Specific examples of the fatty acid amide include lauric acid amide, palmitic acid amide, stearic acid amide, behenic acid amide, hydroxystearic acid amide, oleic acid amide, erucic acid amide, N-oleylparticic acid amide, N-stearyl stearic acid. Amide, N-stearyl oleic acid amide, N-oleyl stearic acid amide, N-stearyl erucic acid amide, methylol stearic acid amide, methylene bis stearic acid amide, ethylene biscapric acid amide, ethylene bis lauric acid amide, ethylene bis stearic acid Amides, ethylene bishydroxystearic acid amides, ethylene bisbehenic acid amides, hexamethylene bisstearic acid amides, hexamethylene bisbehenic acid amides, hexamethylene hydroxystearic acid amides N, N′-distearyl adipic acid amide, N, N′-distearyl sebacic acid amide, ethylene bisoleic acid amide, ethylene biserucic acid amide, hexamethylene bisoleic acid amide, N, N′-dioleyl Examples include adipic acid amide, N, N′-dioleyl sebacic acid amide, m-xylylene bisstearic acid amide, m-xylylene bishydroxystearic acid amide, N, N′-stearyl isophthalic acid amide, and the like. These lubricants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The ratio of the lubricant to the whole antistatic layer can be 1 to 50% by mass, and usually 5 to 40% by mass is appropriate. When there is too little content rate of a lubricant, it exists in the tendency for slipperiness to fall easily. If the content of the lubricant is too large, the print adhesion may be lowered.

  The technique disclosed herein can be carried out in a mode in which the antistatic layer (topcoat layer) contains other lubricant in addition to the fatty acid amide, as long as the application effect is not greatly impaired. Examples of such other lubricants include various waxes such as petroleum wax (paraffin wax, etc.), mineral wax (montan wax, etc.), higher fatty acid (cellotic acid, etc.), and neutral fat (palmitic acid triglyceride, etc.). It is done. Alternatively, in addition to the wax, a general silicone-based lubricant, a fluorine-based lubricant, and the like may be supplemented. The technology disclosed herein can be preferably implemented in an embodiment that does not substantially contain such a silicone-based lubricant, a fluorine-based lubricant and the like. However, as long as the application effect of the technology disclosed herein is not significantly impaired, the inclusion of a silicone compound used for a purpose other than the lubricant (for example, as an antifoaming agent for a coating material for forming an antistatic layer described later) Is not to be excluded.

<Crosslinking agent>
The antistatic layer preferably contains an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent as a crosslinking agent. By using the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent, the water-soluble polyaniline sulfonic acid, which is an essential component when forming the antistatic layer, can be fixed in the binder, has excellent water resistance, and further improves printing adhesion. The effect can be realized.

  As the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent, it is preferable to use a blocked isocyanate-based crosslinking agent that is stable even in an aqueous solution. Specific examples of the blocked isocyanate-based crosslinking agent include isocyanate-based crosslinking agents that can be used in the preparation of general pressure-sensitive adhesive layers and antistatic layers (topcoat layers) (for example, used in the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive layers). Isocyanate compounds (isocyanate-based cross-linking agents)) alcohols, phenols, thiophenols, amines, imides, oximes, lactams, active methylene compounds, mercaptans, imines, ureas, diaryl compounds And those blocked with sodium bisulfite can be used.

  The antistatic layer in the technology disclosed herein includes an antistatic component, an antioxidant, a colorant (pigment, dye, etc.), a fluidity modifier (thixotropic agent, thickener, etc.), a film-forming as necessary. Additives such as auxiliaries, surfactants (antifoaming agents, etc.) and preservatives can be contained.

<Formation of antistatic layer>
The antistatic layer (topcoat layer) is a liquid composition (for forming an antistatic layer) in which essential components such as the conductive polymer component and additives used as necessary are dissolved in an appropriate solvent (such as water). Can be suitably formed by a technique including applying the coating material) to the support film. For example, a method of applying the coating material to the first surface of the support film and drying it, and performing a curing treatment (heat treatment, ultraviolet treatment, etc.) as necessary can be preferably employed. The NV (nonvolatile content) of the coating material can be, for example, 5% by mass or less (typically 0.05 to 5% by mass), and usually 1% by mass or less (typically 0.10 to 10%). 1 mass%) is appropriate. In the case of forming an antistatic layer with a small thickness, it is preferable that the NV of the coating material is, for example, 0.05 to 0.50 mass% (for example, 0.10 to 0.40 mass%). Thus, a more uniform antistatic layer can be formed by using a low NV coating material.

  As the solvent constituting the coating material for forming the antistatic layer, a solvent capable of stably dissolving the components for forming the antistatic layer is preferable. Such a solvent may be an organic solvent, water, or a mixed solvent thereof. Examples of the organic solvent include esters such as ethyl acetate; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and cyclohexanone; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioxane; aliphatic or alicyclic such as n-hexane and cyclohexane. Hydrocarbons; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; aliphatic or alicyclic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and cyclohexanol; alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether (for example, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether) , Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether), glycol ethers such as dialkylene glycol monoalkyl ether; and the like can be used. In a preferred embodiment, the solvent of the coating material is water or a mixed solvent containing water as a main component (for example, a mixed solvent of water and ethanol).

<Properties of antistatic layer>
The thickness of the antistatic layer is typically 3 to 500 nm, preferably 3 to 100 nm, more preferably 3 to 60 nm. If the thickness of the antistatic layer is too small, it becomes difficult to form the antistatic layer uniformly (for example, the thickness of the antistatic layer varies greatly depending on the location). The appearance of the film) can easily become uneven. On the other hand, if it is too thick, the properties (optical properties, dimensional stability, etc.) of the support film may be affected.

In a preferable embodiment of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) disclosed herein, the surface resistance value (Ω / □) measured on the surface of the antistatic layer is preferably less than 1.0 × 10 ¹¹ . More preferably, it is less than 5.0 × 10 ¹⁰ , and further preferably less than 2.0 × 10 ¹⁰ . The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet exhibiting a surface resistance value within the above range can be suitably used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet used in processing or transporting an article that dislikes static electricity such as a liquid crystal cell or a semiconductor device. The surface resistance value can be calculated from the surface resistance value measured under an atmosphere of 23 ° C. and 50% RH using a commercially available insulation resistance measuring device.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) disclosed herein has a property that the back surface (surface of the antistatic layer) can be easily printed with water-based ink or oil-based ink (for example, using an oil-based marking pen). preferable. Such an adhesive sheet describes the identification number of the adherend to be protected on the surface adhesive sheet in the course of processing or transporting the adherend (for example, an optical component) performed with the adhesive sheet attached. Suitable for display. Therefore, it is preferable that it is an adhesive sheet excellent in printability. For example, it is preferable that the solvent is alcohol-based and has high printability for oil-based inks containing pigments. Moreover, it is preferable that the printed ink is difficult to be removed by rubbing or transfer (that is, excellent in print adhesion). The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet disclosed herein preferably has a solvent resistance that does not cause a noticeable change in appearance even if the print is wiped with alcohol (for example, ethyl alcohol) when the print is corrected or erased. .

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (surface protective film) disclosed herein can be implemented in an embodiment that further includes other layers in addition to the support film (base material), the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the antistatic layer. Examples of the arrangement of the “other layer” include a space between the first surface (back surface) of the support film and the antistatic layer, a space between the second surface (front surface) of the support film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the like. The layer disposed between the front surface of the support film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be, for example, an undercoat layer (anchor layer) or an antistatic layer that enhances the anchoring property of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with respect to the second surface. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be configured such that an antistatic layer is disposed on the front surface of the support film, an anchor layer is disposed on the antistatic layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is disposed thereon.

  The optical member of the present invention is preferably protected by the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Since the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is excellent in shearing force, curling of the adherend (optical member) to which the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is bonded can be suppressed, and since the handleability is excellent, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is useful.

  Hereinafter, examples and the like specifically showing the configuration and effects of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to these. In addition, about the mixing | blending content in an Example etc. and characteristic evaluation, it measured as follows. In Table 1, the physical property values of the (meth) acrylic polymer used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and the blending ratio of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition are shown.
