A radiation-curable silicone composition including the following components (A) and (B): (A) an epoxy group-containing cation-polymerizable organopolysiloxane which is represented by the following average composition formula (1): R.sup.1.sub.aR.sup.2.sub.bSiO.sub.(4-a-b)/2 (1) and (B) an iodonium salt having a cation moiety represented by the following general formula (2) in an effective amount to cure said component (A), [(R.sup.3)—I—(R.sup.3)].sup.+ (2) wherein R.sup.3 is, independently of each other, a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having 15 to 26 carbon atoms, wherein said component (A) may be accompanied by any other compounds volatilizing during heating at 105 degrees C. for 3 hours, a content of said compounds is at most 2.0 mass %, based on a total amount of component (A) and said compound.

A substrate-free adhesive tape that is excellent in adhesive physical properties and is suitable for a continuous process is provided. The substrate-free adhesive tape includes a release film, and an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the release film and the adhesive layer containing a cured product of an adhesive composition, wherein when the release film is fixed on the outer surface of a semicircular tip part of a jig, the semicircular tip part having a radius of 22.5 mm, a breaking distance of the adhesive layer is 110 mm or less when the adhesive layer is stretched at a rate of 20 m/min from a semicircular center of the semicircular tip part toward an outermost direction of the semicircular tip part.

A production method of a laminate including a substrate and a light-transmitting support plate that are laminated each other via an adhesive layer and a release layer that is altered through absorption of light, the method including a release layer forming step of coating a reactive polysilsesquioxane on a surface of the support plate, the surface being opposed to the substrate, and heating the reactive polysilsesquioxane to perform polymerization, thereby forming the release layer.

In accordance with the present application, there is provided a release liner and method of preparing a liner for a label assembly. The release liner includes paper having a first side that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish or a coating; and a silicone treatment applied to the first side of the paper. The method of preparing a liner for a label assembly includes applying a coat of silicone to a paper at a side of the paper that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish and is otherwise uncoated; and curing the silicone. The release liner includes paper having a silicone coat weight of 0.5 lb/ream or less.

Provided is a curable silicone composition for a release agent which can release a release film from a silicone adhesive with low release force without reducing the adhesive strength of the silicone adhesive to other substrates upon releasing the release film. A release film or laminate having the small release force of the silicone adhesive is also provided. The curable silicone composition comprises: (A) a mixture of two or more fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxanes having a fluoroalkyl group and at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, wherein the contents of the fluoroalkyl groups differ from each other, and the two or more fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxanes are a combination of those which are not completely compatibilized at 25° C. when mixed in the absence of a solvent; (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (C) an effective amount of a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; and (D) an organic solvent.

In the present invention, compounding an addition-reaction-curable organopolysiloxane composition with a specific amount of an organopolysiloxane compound that has three or more (meth)acryl groups in the molecule and a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 or greater yields an organopolysiloxane composition for use in a release paper or release film in which addition reactions can occur using a small amount of platinum family metal catalyst, cured films can be formed having a peeling strength approximating levels encountered in the past, and addition-reaction-prompted curing will proceed even on a base material containing a catalyst-poisoning component.
