Disclosed herein is a pressure-sensitively adhesive protective film formed from a polymer film coated with a crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains a pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer which is formed by emulsion polymerization in the presence of saccharified starch from soft monomers which when polymerized as a homopolymer have a glass transition temperature of less than 0 C., from ethylenically unsaturated acids or acid anhydrides, and optionally further monomers different from (i) and (ii). The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains defined crosslinkers, with the crosslinking reaction brought about by the crosslinker being at an end before the pressure-sensitively adhesive protective film is adhered to a substrate.
