A system for protecting a surface of a substrate includes a protective film, which is configured to be applied and secured to the surface, as well as a backing on an adherent surface of the protective film and an application tape over an exterior surface of the protective film. Protruding features, such as tabs, adjacent to different peripheral edges of the protective film may enable removal of the backing and the application tape from the protective film, and may include features that indicate the order in which each protruding feature is to be grasped to peel its corresponding element away from the protective film. Methods of using such a system are also disclosed.

A protective film includes an adhesive material configured for “dry” application to a surface that is to be protected, such as the surface of an electronic device. An installation assembly that includes the protective film is configured to minimize or eliminate contact with the protective film as it is applied to the surface that is to be protected. Methods for manufacturing a protective film and an installation assembly that includes the protective film may be effected in contaminant-free conditions. Methods for applying the protective film are also disclosed, as are devices (e.g., electronic devices, etc.) with at least one surface covered with a protective film.

Provided is a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, which is excellent in initial pressure-sensitive adhesive property to an adherend, is sufficiently elongated, hardly breaks even when sufficiently elongated, can be smoothly pulled and removed from the adherend under an elongated state, and is excellent in reworking properties. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in an embodiment of the present invention includes, in this order: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B1); a base material layer (A); and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B2), wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B1) and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B2) each contain at least one kind selected from the group consisting of: an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive; and a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive contains a filler, wherein the base material layer (A) contains, as a resin component, at least one kind selected from the group consisting of: polyolefin; thermoplastic polyurethane; and a styrene-based polymer.

Provided is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape excellent in unevenness followability. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention includes: a base material layer; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer arranged on at least one side of the base material layer, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape has a dimensional change ratio at 23° C. and 50% RH of from −0.39 to −0.20, provided that the dimensional change ratio at 23° C. and 50% RH is calculated in accordance with a predetermined equation by: cutting the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape into a belt shape having a width of 20 mm to produce a measurement sample; and tensioning the measurement sample under an environment at 23° C. and 50% RH with a tensile tester at an initial chuck-to-chuck distance set to 20 mm and a tensile rate of 300 mm/min in a longitudinal direction of the measurement sample so that a deformation amount thereof becomes 100%.

The present disclosure relates to a film having light transmittance and a manufacturing method thereof. The film includes a Polyurethane (PU) surface layer, and a thermoplastic elastomer layer. The thermoplastic elastomer layer is disposed under the PU surface layer. The thermoplastic elastomer layer includes color masterbatch material. The color masterbatch material is between 0.1-1% weight. By controlling the amount of color masterbatch material in the thermoplastic elastomer layer, the film of the present disclosure has real color appearance and good light transmittance.

The present disclosure provides a two-component solventless adhesive composition comprising a polyol component and an isocyanate component. The polyol component comprises a phosphate functional compound, and at least one polyol selected from polyester, polyether, and the combination thereof; and the isocyanate component comprises isocyanate prepolymer that is the reaction product of at least one isocyanate monomer and at least one polyol selected from polyester, polyether, and the combination thereof.

The present disclosure relates to a UV-curable composition and adhesive film, adhesive tape and bonding member containing the same. Said UV-curable composition is a UV-curable composition catalyzable by photobase. Said UV-curable composition comprises (1) acrylic polymer and/or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; (2) curable components, comprising polyfunctional mercaptan and polyfunctional epoxy resin; and a (3) photobase generator. The composition of the present disclosure can be coated into an adhesive tape or adhesive film; such adhesive tape or film possesses initial adhesion before UV curing is carried out and can have the strength of a semi-structural adhesive or a structural adhesive after UV curing is carried out.

The present disclosure provides a hot melt tape at least including a substrate, an adhesive layer, and an anti-sticking layer, wherein the anti-sticking layer is adjacent to the adhesive layer and is the outermost layer of the hot melt tape. The hot melt tape may be used to seal objects, and preferably is made of a multilayer co-extrusion process. The anti-sticking layer prevents the hot melt tape from sticking the objects without needing a release film, and the hot melt tape can be directly heated during sealing the objects.
