Abstract

A silicone pressure sensitive adhesive composition is curable to form a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive. The silicone pressure sensitive adhesive composition can be coated on a substrate and cured to form a topside protective film. The topside protective film can be used to protect an anti-fingerprint hard coating in a screen protective film on cover glass for a display device, such as a smartphone.
