Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a surface protective sheet, and a method for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
  • the present application claims priority to U. S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/629,834 filed on February 13, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • protection sheets are bonded to the surfaces for protection.
  • the objects to be protected vary widely.
  • protection sheets are used on glass plates bearing Low-E (Low-Emissivity) layers as well.
  • Low-E-layer-bearing glass plates are preferably used as building materials such as window glass because of the effects of the Low-E layers to improve the efficiency to cool down and heat up indoor spaces.
  • pressure-sensitive adhesive (or PSA; the same applies hereinafter) can be preferably used as a removable bonding means.
  • pressure-sensitive adhesive has characteristics of being in a soft solid (viscoelastic) state in a room temperature range and easily adhering to adherend under some pressure.
  • a surface protection sheet using PSA typically has a PSA layer on one face of a substrate sheet formed of a material such as resin and is constituted so as to achieve a protection purpose when applied via the PSA layer to an adherend (an object to be protected).

  • Patent Document 5 JP2012-131976A

  • JP2010-194947A Patent Document 7
  • JP2012-86582A Patent Document 8 are conventional art documents related to methods for bonding sheet members by laser irradiation.
  • the adherend e.g. a building material such as window glass
  • objects having large surface areas are used, among which some have surface widths as large as about 2.6 m or larger, or even about 3 m or larger.
  • a method where several PSA sheets are layered with partial overlaps to entirely cover the adherend surface is used.
  • the several PSA sheets need to be seamlessly placed when they are applied, making the placement work complicated.
  • the PSA sheet is not usually limited in size when it is supplied from a roll or the like; however, with respect to the width direction, it is limited by the PSA sheet manufacturing equipment, etc.
  • production of a PSA sheet sufficient both in length and in width requires large-scale equipment that allows production of a wide PSA sheet.
  • adherend objects e.g. glass plates used for building materials
  • adherend objects are not necessarily produced in the same size in a large quantity and their sizes can be different each time. Such a case may require an on-demand supply of a certain quantity of PSA sheets that meet the size requirement and may not be suited for handling by large-scale manufacturing equipment.
  • the present description provides a PSA sheet (final PSA sheet) obtainable by fusing at least two initial PSA sheets (or PSA sheet-workpieces, or workpiece-PSA sheets) via their edge faces.
  • the PSA sheet typically comprises a substrate layer and a PSA layer provided to at least one face of the substrate layer.
  • the PSA sheet in this embodiment has a larger surface area than the respective initial PSA sheets and is able to cover a larger adherend surface.
  • Such a PSA sheet is suited for an application in which it is applied to a large-surface adherend.
  • no gaps are formed in the final PSA sheet (between initial PSA sheets), whereby placement adjustment is not required. It does not require a component (a third component) to fill gaps when such gaps are formed, either.
  • joining by fusion may provide a PSA sheet that has sufficient joint strength and is of high quality with its adhesive face, back face, etc., as smooth as those of the initial PSA sheets before joined.
  • a PSA sheet has good adhesive properties; for instance, when used as a protective sheet, it may provide good protection.
  • the at least two initial PSA sheets have long lengths and are fused at edge faces of their width directions (fused at their lengthwise edge faces).
  • Long initial PSA sheets fused at edge faces of their width directions may form a PSA sheet that extends sufficiently both in length and in width.
  • Such a PSA sheet is particularly suitable for an application where it is applied to a large-surface adherend.
  • the PSA sheet disclosed herein and the initial PSA sheet are identified by having a long side and a short side with respect to its plane (sheet face).
  • the long side is longer than the short side and the short side is shorter than the long side.
  • the short side may be approximately perpendicular to the long side.
  • the length direction of the PSA sheet is in the direction along the long side and the width direction is in the direction perpendicular to the length direction.
  • the “width” is defined as the length in the direction perpendicular to the length direction.
  • Typical examples of the PSA sheet disclosed herein include a PSA sheet that is described as having a long length, a band shape, and a rectangular shape.
  • the long side is a line segment that runs almost linearly.
  • the short side is not limited to a straight line and can be a curve, zig-zag, etc.
  • the PSA sheet and the initial PSA sheet may be have square planar shapes or other shapes.
  • the PSA sheet has first and second faces forming its outer surface.
  • the second face is the opposite face of the first face (on the reverse side of the first face).
  • At least either the first face or the second face is an adhesive face.
  • the PSA sheet also has a fused segment between the at least two initial PSA sheets, which is free of an uneven segment either on the first face or on the second face.
  • the PSA sheet is free of an uneven segment such as a projection on either face.
  • the adhesive face of the PSA sheet is likely to tightly adhere to an adherend without wrinkling, lifting, etc., caused by an uneven segment.
  • defects arising from an uneven segment will not occur.
  • the adhesive face is essentially free of a recess in the fused segment between the at least two initial PSA sheets.
  • “being essentially free of a recess” indicates absence of a recess; or if any, a recessed depth of 1 ⁇ m or less.
  • the PSA sheet can tightly adhere to an adherend without a gap between itself and the adherend.
  • the use of the PSA sheet as a surface protective sheet can prevent entry of a foreign substance into the protected surface via a recess as a channel for entry. For instance, it can prevent permeation of water such as moisture, providing excellent waterproofness. This is particularly preferable for an application involving protection of a surface (e.g. a Low-E layer surface of a Low-E layer-bearing glass plate) that may undergo the sort of degradation and alteration upon permeation of water.
  • the PSA sheet has a long length.
  • the fused segment between the at least two initial PSA sheets runs in the length direction of the PSA sheet.

Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de pourvoir à une feuille de PSA appropriée pour des parties adhérées présentant de grandes surfaces. La solution selon l'invention porte sur une feuille de PSA. La feuille de PSA est formée par fusion d'au moins deux feuilles de PSA initiales au niveau de leurs arêtes. La feuille de PSA comprend une couche de substrat, et une couche de PSA disposée sur au moins une face de la couche de substrat.
