A masking film includes an adhesion layer that includes at least one hydrogenated styrene block copolymer and an adhesive surface having a surface roughness (Sa) of greater than about 2.0 μm. An Adhesion Build Value of the masking film is less than about 2.0 after the adhesion layer has been attached to a textured polycarbonate substrate and heated to 85° C. for 30 minutes.

The present invention relates to a release liner, an adhesive article comprising the same, a process for producing the release liner, and a process for decorating an object using the adhesive article. According to an embodiment, the release liner comprises a carrier substrate (10), a thermoplastic polymer layer (20) applied on one side of the carrier substrate (10), and a release layer (30) applied on the thermoplastic polymer layer (20) on the side opposite to the carrier substrate (10). The thermoplastic polymer layer (20) and the release layer (30) include a network of ridges (25), which result in elevations of the surface of the release liner on the side of the release layer. The surface on the side of the release layer (30) has a roughness at least between the ridges (25), such that it has a plurality of pits (1, 2, 3). The average number of pits (1, 2, 3) per an area of 3.4 mm.sup.2 of the plan view of the release liner surface is at least 50 as determined with a confocal 3D laser scanning microscope at a magnification of 100. The pits (1, 2, 3) extend at least to a level of 10.0 μm above the deepest point of the deepest pit (1) within said area of 3.4 mm2.

A carrier film includes an adhesive layer, a core layer, and a release layer. The adhesive layer includes a hydrogenated styrene block copolymer having a storage modulus (G′) of less than or equal to 400 kPa at 25° C., and a first polyolefin elastomer. The core layer includes a second polyolefin elastomer, and the release layer includes a polyolefin.

The present disclosure provides a laminate. The laminate includes a first film and a second film, wherein the first film is laminated to the second film. The first film includes a sealant layer containing (A) an ethylene-based polymer; and (B) a slip agent blend containing (i) a first polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 30,000 g/mol to less than 300,000 g/mol; and (ii) a second polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 300,000 g/mol to 2,000,000 g/mol.

Film constructions and articles including the film constructions, wherein a film construction includes: a backing (or an adhesive layer) having a first major surface and a second major surface; and a release layer disposed on the first major surface of the backing (or adhesive layer), wherein the release layer includes polylactic acid.

An article 10 is provided with an adhesive layer 14 that includes an adhesive, a release layer 12 that is stacked on the adhesive layer 14, and an air layer 16 that is interposed between the adhesive layer 14 and the release layer 12. On a surface 12a of the release layer 12 that opposes the adhesive layer 14, microprotrusions 20 that contact the adhesive layer 14 with tips 20a are provided. The microprotrusions 20 are provided with a wall-shaped portion 22 having a shape that at least partially surrounds the air layer 16 between the adhesive layer 14 and the release layer 12. The wall-shaped portion 22 protects a main portion 14a of the adhesive layer 14 that is adjacent to the air layer 16 from contamination. By selecting a shape, dimensions, and the like of the micro protrusions 20, a release force of the release layer 12 can be adjusted to a desired range.
