Automobile paint film-protective sheet

Abstract

An automobile paint film-protective sheet comprising a substrate having formed on one side thereof a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive having a dynamic modulus of from 2×10 5 to 7×10 6 dyne/cm 2 at 60° C.

1. A sheet for protecting a melamine-alkyd, melamine-acrylic or urethane automotive paint film wherein said sheet comprises a plastic substrate having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm made of a polypropylene and polyethylene blend and having formed on one side thereof a layer of a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive having a SP value of at least 1 larger or smaller than the automotive paint film, a dynamic modulus of from 4×10 5  to 3×10 6  dyne/cm 2  at 60° C., an adhesion strength of 100 to 1,000 g/20 mm and a thickness of 5 to 50 μm, said adhesive comprising an isobutylene-based polymer which is not curable, whereby said sheet has a ratio of (i) adhesion strength at 23° C. after exposure for 100 hours in a sunshine weatherometer to (ii) initial adhesion strength of from 1.01 to 3.86. 
     
     
       2. A sheet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive contains 0.005 to 0.5 part by weight of a silicone oil per 100 parts by weight of the rubber based pressure-sensitive adhesive. 
     
     
       3. A sheet as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the silicone oil is dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, methylhydrogenpolysiloxane or modified products thereof. 
     
     
       4. A method for protecting an automobile paint film, which comprises covering a surface of the automobile paint film with a sheet for protecting an automobile paint film comprising a plastic substrate having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm made of a polypropylene and polyethylene blend and having formed on one side thereof a layer of a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive having a SP value of at least 1 larger or smaller than that of the automobile paint film, a dynamic modulus of from 4×10 5  to 3×10 6  dyne/cm 2  at 60° C. an adhesion strength of 100 to 1,000 g/20 mm and a thickness of 5 to 50 μmm , said adhesive composition comprising an isobutylene-based polymer which is not curable, whereby said sheet has a ratio of (i) adhesion strength at 23° C. after exposure for 100 hours in a sunshine weatherometer to (ii) initial adhesion strength of from 1.01 to 3.86.
