Pressure-sensitive adhesive composition
The present application is relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present application may form a pressure-sensitive adhesive having excellent durability and reliability, stress relaxation and reworkability. In addition, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is used collaterally, for example, a coating process may be efficiently performed even when a coating solid content is high, thereby maintaining excellent productivity and forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive having excellent uniformity in thickness. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may be used for an optical film such as a polarizing plate.
