Abstract

The present invention relates to a protective film and a polarizing plate comprising the same, and provides a protective film capable of minimizing the amount of static electricity that can be generated upon peeling the protective film.

Claims (20)

1. A protective film having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin, a multifunctional cross-linking agent, a curing retardant, a polyorganosiloxane satisfying Formula 1 below and a metal salt:

wherein, n is any one number in a range of 0 to 1500, R 1 to R 8 are the same or different from each other and each independently hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkynyl group or an alkylene oxide, at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 6 , R 7 , or R 8 is hydrogen, or an alkynyl group, and at least one of R 1 to R 8 is an alkylene oxide,

wherein the polyorganosiloxane has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000,

wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin comprises a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer as a polymerized unit,

wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains the polyorganosiloxane in an amount of 0.01 to 0.9 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin,

wherein the multifunctional cross-linking agent comprises a mixture of an aliphatic linear polyvalent NCO and an aliphatic cyclic polyvalent NCO in a weight ratio of 6:4 to 9:1, and the mixture comprises 8 to 20% by weight of NCO,

wherein the curing retardant is β-diketone,

wherein the metal salt forms a chelate with the polyorganosiloxane, and

wherein the metal salt comprises an alkaline earth metal.

2. The protective film according to claim 1 , wherein the metal salt comprises Mg((CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N) 2 .

3. The protective film according to claim 1 , wherein the metal salt is comprised in an amount of 50 to 150 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyorganosiloxane.

4. The protective film according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin further comprises a polymerized unit derived from a copolymerizable monomer having a cross-linkable functional group.

5. The protective film according to claim 4 , wherein the copolymerizable monomer having a cross-linkable functional group is at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group-containing comonomer, a carboxyl group-containing comonomer and a nitrogen-containing comonomer.

6. The protective film according to claim 4 , wherein the copolymerizable monomer having a cross-linkable functional group is comprised in an amount of 0.01 to 14 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin.

7. The protective film according to claim 1 , wherein the multifunctional cross-linking agent is comprised in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in an amount of 0.01 to 20 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive base resin.

8. The protective film according to claim 1 , wherein the curing retardant is at least one selected from acetylacetone, 2,4-hexanedione or benzoyl acetone.

9. The protective film according to claim 1 , further comprising a base material layer, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on one surface of said base material layer.

10. The protective film according to claim 1 , which is applied to an adherend having a surface energy of 15 mN/m to 40 mN/m.

11. A polarizing plate comprising a polarizer and the protective film according to claim 1 formed on one surface of said polarizer.

12. The polarizing plate according to claim 11 , further comprising a coating layer formed on one surface of said polarizer and having a surface energy of 15 mN/m to 40 mN/m, wherein the protective film is formed on said coating layer.
