Abstract

The present specification relates to a polyurethane-based adhesive composition, a surface protective film comprising the same, a method for preparing a surface protective film, and a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device.

Claims (27)

1 . A surface protective film comprising:

a base film; and

an adhesive film comprising polyurethane-based adhesive composition, or a cured material thereof, provided on one surface of the base film,

wherein the polyurethane-based adhesive composition comprising:

a polyurethane polymer comprising a difunctional polyol and a trifunctional polyol; and

an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent,

wherein the adhesive composition has viscosity of greater than or equal to 1,000 cPs and less than or equal to 10,000 cPs under a condition of 25° C. and relative humidity of 60%;

the difunctional polyol is included in an amount of 5 parts by weight to 40 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane polymer; and

the trifunctional polyol is included in an amount of 60 parts by weight to 95 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane polymer and,

wherein the base film has a thickness of greater than or equal to 25 μm and less than or equal to 150 μm,

wherein the adhesive film has a thickness of greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than or equal to 100 μm,

wherein low-rate peel strength is 5 gf/inch or greater when bonding one surface of the adhesive film to a glass substrate and then peeling at a peeling angle of 1800 and a rate of 1.8 m/min, and high-rate peel strength is 50 gf/inch or less when bonding one surface of the adhesive film to a glass substrate and peeling at a peeling angle of 180° and a rate of 20 m/min; and

wherein a hydroxyl group of the polyurethane polymer and an isocyanate functional group have a molar ratio (—OH/NCO) of greater than or equal to 1.3 and less than or equal to 1.7.

2 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , further comprising a release sheet on a surface of the adhesive film opposite to the surface in contact with the base film.

3 . The surface protective film of claim 1 , wherein the base film is selected from the group consisting of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PC (polycarbonate), PI (polyimide), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), PEEK (polyether ether ketone), PAR (polyarylate), PCO (polycyclic olefin), polynorbornene, PES (polyethersulphone) and COP (cycloolefin polymer).

4 . A method for preparing a surface protective film, the method comprising:

preparing the polyurethane-based adhesive composition of claim 1 ;

adding a curing agent to the polyurethane-based adhesive composition; and

coating the polyurethane-based adhesive composition on a base film.

5 . The method for preparing a surface protective film of claim 4 , further comprising:

after coating of the polyurethane-based adhesive composition on a base film drying the polyurethane-based adhesive composition; and thermally curing the polyurethane-based adhesive composition.

6 . A method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device, the method comprising:

attaching a surface protective film of claim 1 on an encapsulation layer of an organic light emitting device.

7 . The method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the organic light emitting device consecutively comprises glass, a plastic substrate, a thin film transistor, an organic light emitting diode and an encapsulation layer.

8 . The method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:

peeling the surface protective film from the encapsulation layer; and

laminating a touch screen panel and a cover window on the encapsulation layer.
