The invention provides a frameless photo-energy assembly including a photo-energy converter, wherein an edge of the photo-energy converter is sealed by an adhesive tape, comprising an adhering layer for adhesion and cushioning; and an aging-resistant protective layer. The adhering layer is used to contact the edge of an article and comprises: a substrate layer; optionally, a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer situated at both sides of the substrate layer oppositely, wherein the first adhesive layer being used to be contact with the article. The aging-resistant protective layer is situated on the adhering layer, which comprises: an optional primer layer, which is situated on the adhering layer; and a film layer, which is situated on either the primer layer or the substrate or the second adhesive layer. The invention further provides an adhesive tape for sealing an edge of an article and an article made of the assembly.

The invention relates to a separating film based on polyolefins or ethylene copolymers with a content of organic and optionally inorganic pigment and at least one UV stabilizer. The separating film has a transmission percentage between 5 and 20% in the range from 400 to 700 nm and a transmission percentage of <2% in the range from 300 to 500 nm. Such separating films have the advantage that marking regions applied onto membranes which can be found below the separating film remain detectable, and adhesives which can be found below the separating film are effectively protected from UV light and premature aging by the addition of inorganic and organic pigments and UV stabilizers. The invention further relates to composite structures of corresponding separating films and adhesives, to water-tight membranes with coatings made of adhesive and separating films, and to uses of corresponding membranes for sealing structures against water.

A method of producing a roll-shaped body comprises: obtaining an adhesive agent sheet having an embossed shape at both surfaces thereof by imparting an embossed shape on both surfaces of an adhesive agent sheet containing a thermoplastic resin as a main component; overlapping a protective sheet having releasability from the adhesive agent sheet to at least one surface of the adhesive agent sheet having the embossed shape at both surfaces thereof; and obtaining the roll-shaped body by wounding the adhesive agent sheet having the embossed shape at both surfaces thereof and the protective sheet that are overlapped facing one another.

A release liner and a method for producing the same are provided. The release liner includes a resin base layer and two resin release layers. The resin base layer has two surfaces opposite to each other. The two resin release layers are respectively formed on the two surfaces of the resin base layer. Each of the resin release layers includes: a non-polar resin material and a polar resin material. In each of the resin release layers, the polar resin material is dispersed in the non-polar resin material in a plurality of granular forms, an average particle size of the polar resin material ranges from 0.1 μm to 10 μm, and a content of the polar resin material in the resin release layer ranges from 10 wt % to 50 wt %, so that a surface roughness (Ra) of the resin release layer ranges from 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

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.

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.
