Abstract

The present invention provides a surface protective film which includes an adhesive layer on one surface of a substrate film, wherein the adhesive layer is a cured product of a composition containing: a urethane-based resin having a photoreactive group at the end or side chain thereof; a monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer; a crosslinking agent having two or more photoreactive groups at the end thereof; a peel strength adjusting agent; and a photoinitiator, the composition being solvent-free; and the adhesive layer has peel strength of 0.5 gf/in to 10 gf/in, as measured on glass at a peel angle of 180° and a peel rate of 1.8 m/min.

Claims (14)

1 . A surface protective film comprising an adhesive layer on one surface of a substrate film, wherein:

the adhesive layer is a cured product of a composition containing: a urethane-based resin having a photoreactive group at an end or side chain thereof; a monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer; a crosslinking agent having two or more photoreactive groups at an end thereof; a peel strength adjusting agent; and a photoinitiator, the composition being solvent-free; and

the adhesive layer has a peel strength of 0.5 gf/in to 10 gf/in, as measured on glass at a peel angle of 180° and a peel rate of 1.8 m/min, and a wetting time of 1 to 10 seconds on glass,

wherein the monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer is provided in an amount of 95 parts by weight to 140 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane-based resin,

wherein the crosslinking agent is provided in an amount of 10 parts by weight to 36 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane-based resin,

wherein the peel strength adjusting agent is provided in an amount of 42 parts by weight to 95 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane-based resin and,

wherein the peel strength adjusting agent is one selected from the group consisting of diisononylcyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH), bis-2-ethylhexyl hexanedioate (DEHA), dioctyl adipate (DOA), diisononyl adipate (DINA), dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (DPGDB), triethylene glycol bis-2-ethylhexanoate (TEG-EH), isopropyl palmitate (IPP), isopropyl myristate (IPMS), a citrate-based compound, and mixtures thereof.

2 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the urethane-based resin is obtained by reacting a polyol with an isocyanate-based curing agent.

3 . The surface protective film of claim 2 , wherein the polyol is one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and combinations thereof.

4 . The surface protective film of claim 2 , wherein the isocyanate-based curing agent is one selected from the group consisting of polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanate compounds, polyfunctional alicyclic isocyanates, polyfunctional aromatic isocyanates, and combinations thereof.

5 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking agent is one selected from the group consisting of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer, a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, and a mixture thereof.

6 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the photoinitiator is provided in an amount of 0.1 parts by weight to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the sum total of the urethane-based resin, the crosslinking agent and the peel strength adjusting agent.

7 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an antistatic agent.

8 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 100 μm.
