Provided is a PSA sheet with which good air release properties can be obtained while whose quality can be further enhanced. This invention provides a PSA sheet comprising a substrate film and a PSA layer provided to at least one face of the substrate film. The PSA sheet further comprises a coating layer partially covering the PSA layer surface. The PSA sheet's adhesive is formed of the PSA layer and the coating layer. The coating layer has a linearly extending part running from one edge to another edge of the adhesive face. The linearly extending part has a first face forming the PSA sheet's adhesive face and a second face located on the PSA layer side relative to the first face. The second face of the linearly extending part forms an overall gently curved line in a cross section perpendicularly intersecting the length direction of the linearly extending part.

An adhesive sheet includes an adhesive layer having a fine structure on the surface. The fine structure includes a plurality of convex structures. The convex structures each have two or more parts. A first part located at the top portion of the convex structure is made from a non-adhesive or weak adhesive material. A second part located below the first part is made from a strong adhesive material. Given that a width of a bottom surface of the convex structure is a and a distance between bottom surfaces of adjacent convex structures is β in an arrangement direction of the convex structures, β/(α+β)<0.3 is satisfied.

A film-based article including a release liner having first and second major sides, a film layer having first and second major sides, an adhesive layer disposed between the first major side of the release liner and the second major side of the film, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a first surface adjacent to the second major side of the film, and a second surface adjacent to the first major side of the release liner. The second surface of the adhesive layer comprises an irregular array of channels.

An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive film that can be applied easily to an adherend having a three-dimensional shape. An adhesive film according to the present disclosure is an adhesive film having a three-dimensional molded shape and including: a base layer; an adhesive layer including a fine structure in a surface; and a liner layer covering the adhesive layer. The fine structure of the adhesive layer includes a plurality of convex parts. Each of the plurality of convex parts includes two or more parts joined to each other via an interface. A first part present in a top of the convex part includes a non-adhesive or weak adhesive material, and a second part present below the first part includes a strong adhesive material.

A tape closure system is shown and described herein. The tape closure system includes a first tape component having a pressure sensitive adhesive and a second tape component having a pressure sensitive adhesive, where at least one of the pressure sensitive adhesives has a modified surface to reduce the tack of the surface such that when the first and second pressure adhesives are brought into contact with one another they may sufficiently adhere to one another to form a seal but are still separable from one another and able to be repeatedly opened and sealed. Such a tape may be manufactured through high speed manufacturing processes and wound into large master rolls. In the roll configuration, the modified surface contacts the backside of the liner and experiences compressive forces in the roll. Due to the compressive forces, a part of the modified surface may get pushed into the PSA, thereby affecting the properties of the modified adhesive. An embodiment of this invention provides an embossed liner with spacers that nest the modified adhesive surface when it is self-wound, thereby preventing the deterioration of the adhesive properties. An embodiment of the invention is a method by which the adhesive-based closure system can be applied on to a flexible packaging material on a Form Fill Seal packaging machine in one of three ways: (1) In a form of a tape from a spool. (2) In a form of an adhesive dispensed directly on to flexible packaging material. (3) In form of a tape dispensed from a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive roll. Another embodiment of the invention is a double sided tape with the detack layer on both sides. An embodiment of the present invention can also be used for temporary closure with no damage done to the underlying system.

A pressure sensitive adhesive surface that does not adhere to the adherend and can be positioned by sliding it under low pressure, while it can exert a sufficient adhesive force under a pressure above a certain level. The adhesive sheet includes an adhesive layer with a fine structure on a surface thereof. The fine structure includes a plurality of cone or frustum structures, with the cones or frustums having two or more parts joined to each other via an interface. A first part is present on a top of the cones or frustums and is formed from a non-adhesive or a weak adhesive material, and a second part is present below the first part and is formed from a strong adhesive material.

Provided is a PSA sheet capable of providing greater air release properties. The present invention provides a release-linered PSA sheet comprising a PSA sheet and a release liner covering an adhesive face of the PSA sheet. The PSA sheet has a coating layer that partially forms the adhesive face. The release liner has an arithmetic average roughness of 0.1 μm or greater on the PSA sheet side surface.

A method of making an adhesive backed web, wherein the adhesive layer of such web has partially embedded filaments projecting therefrom. The filaments may comprise a thermoplastic material or a hot melt adhesive. The filaments are contacted to a major surface of a liner material then pressed partially thereinto. An adhesive layer, as from an adhesive backed film, is then laminated to the filament-containing liner, allowing the adhesive layer to pick up the filaments.
