Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an anticorrosion adhesive tape. [Background technology]

[0002] Anticorrosion paints containing large amounts of zinc are widely used to protect steel and other iron or iron-containing alloys from corrosion. Zinc is a metal with a lower potential than iron and is known to have high corrosion protection due to its sacrificial corrosion protection properties. However, corrosion protection using paint requires a drying process after application, which is time-consuming and reduces work efficiency, for example, when performing localized repairs on civil engineering and construction applications such as bridges. Furthermore, corrosion protection using paint is prone to uneven work.

[0003] In view of the above circumstances, efforts have been made to improve workability by imparting sacrificial corrosion protection to adhesive tapes and the like. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a corrosion prevention method in which a laminate consisting of a conductive adhesive layer containing zinc powder, a zinc plate, a resin film, and a stainless steel plate is attached to the outer surface of a metal pipe. In this corrosion prevention method, the zinc powder contained in the adhesive layer and the zinc plate act as sacrificial anodes to prevent corrosion of the metal pipe.

[0004] Patent Document 2 also discloses a corrosion-resistant member including a conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a conductive material and having a resistance value of a certain value or less, as well as a corrosion-resistant member including the conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a substrate. Use of the corrosion-resistant member can improve both adhesive properties and sacrificial corrosion protection. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-242982 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-127606 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the adhesive layer in Patent Document 1 contains 60 to 95 mass % of zinc powder to impart conductivity, resulting in poor adhesive properties, and therefore requires a band to secure the laminate to the metal pipe, which does not sufficiently improve workability. Furthermore, although the corrosion-resistant member of Patent Document 2 has good adhesive properties and sacrificial corrosion protection, there is a demand for a corrosion-resistant adhesive tape that has higher adhesive strength even after long-term use in order to highly prevent peeling from adherends such as steel materials caused by external influences such as wind and rain, thereby improving corrosion protection. Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide an anticorrosion adhesive tape that has superior long-term adhesive strength and anticorrosion properties compared to conventional tapes.

[0007] Furthermore, while the anticorrosion member of Patent Document 2 has good adhesive properties and sacrificial corrosion protection, no consideration has been given to weather resistance, and as a result, when exposed to light such as ultraviolet light over a long period of time, there is a tendency for the film to deteriorate, resulting in poor appearance, and for the adhesive layer to deteriorate, resulting in a decrease in adhesive strength. Therefore, a second object of the present invention is to provide an anticorrosion adhesive tape that does not develop poor appearance and can maintain a high level of adhesive strength even after being exposed to light for a long period of time.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexibility of the substrate of the anticorrosion member of Patent Document 2 has not been sufficiently considered, and as a result, the anticorrosion member may not be able to conform to the shape of an adherend having a complex shape, and may not be able to fully exhibit its anticorrosion properties. Therefore, a third object of the present invention is to provide an anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that has excellent anticorrosive properties for adherends having complex shapes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present inventors have conducted extensive research and have found that the first problem can be solved by an anticorrosion adhesive tape (hereinafter also referred to as the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention) that includes an adhesive layer, does not develop rust in a specific cyclic corrosion test, and has a certain level of adhesive strength after the cyclic corrosion test, and have thus completed the present invention. Furthermore, the inventors have discovered that the second problem can be solved by an anti-corrosion adhesive tape (hereinafter also referred to as the anti-corrosion adhesive tape of the second invention) comprising a substrate and an adhesive layer provided on one side of the substrate, wherein the gloss retention rate of the substrate after a specific accelerated weathering test is 80% or more and the adhesive strength after a cyclic corrosion test is 20 N / 25 mm or more, and thus completed the present invention. The inventors also discovered that the third problem can be solved by an anti-corrosion adhesive tape (hereinafter also referred to as the anti-corrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention) comprising a substrate and an adhesive layer provided on at least one side of the substrate, in which the difference in tensile load of the substrate at 2.5% elongation and that at 0.5% elongation are not more than a certain level, and the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is not less than a certain level, and thus completed the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] [Anti-corrosion adhesive tape (first invention)] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described below. The anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention is an anticorrosion adhesive tape having an adhesive layer, which does not rust in a cyclic corrosion test in accordance with Cycle D of JIS K5600-7-9, and has an adhesive strength of 20 N / 25 mm or more after the cyclic corrosion test.

[0014] <Presence or absence of rust in cyclic corrosion tests> The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention does not rust in JIS K5600-7-9 (General test methods for paints - Part 7: Long-term durability of coating films - Section 9: Cyclic corrosion test method - Salt spray / dry / wet, Cycle D). Therefore, the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention has excellent corrosion prevention properties. If rust occurs in the cyclic corrosion test, the corrosion prevention properties of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape will be insufficient. Rust generation can be suppressed by adjusting the composition, thickness, etc. of the adhesive layer provided in the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.

[0015] The occurrence of rust in the cyclic corrosion test is confirmed as follows. A test piece is prepared by attaching the anticorrosive adhesive tape of the present invention to a test plate specified in JIS K5600-7-9. The anticorrosive adhesive tape is attached so that the adhesive layer of the anticorrosive adhesive tape is in contact with the surface of the test plate. The size of the anticorrosive adhesive tape is 150 mm long and 70 mm wide. Next, a notch is made on the test piece from the side of the anticorrosive adhesive tape. The notches are made by making two linear notches that cross each other (i.e., making notches in the shape of an X). Each notch should be 70 mm long, and the two notches should intersect at a 90° angle. The notches are made using a single-blade notching tool, as specified in JIS K5600-7-9, so that they reach the base test plate. The test specimen with the notch is then subjected to a salt spray test based on cycle D of JIS K5600-7-9, Appendix 1. The test is carried out for 28 cycles (total of 168 hours). After the salt spray test, the test piece is observed to check for the presence or absence of rust at the cut area.

[0016] <Adhesion strength after cyclic corrosion test> The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention has an adhesive strength of 20 N / 25 mm or more after a cyclic corrosion test. If the adhesive strength is less than 20 N / 25 mm, the long-term adhesive strength will be insufficient, and the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape will be prone to peeling from an adherend such as a steel material, resulting in reduced corrosion prevention. From the viewpoint of increasing the adhesive strength and improving corrosion resistance, the adhesive strength after the cyclic corrosion test is preferably 25 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 30 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 40 N / 25 mm or more. The higher the adhesive strength, the better, but in practice it is 200 N / 25 mm or less.

[0017] The adhesive strength of the anticorrosion adhesive tape after the cyclic corrosion test is measured as follows. The anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention is applied to a stainless steel plate (SUS plate) to prepare a sample for adhesive strength evaluation. At this time, the adhesive layer of the anticorrosion adhesive tape is applied so as to come into contact with the surface of the SUS plate to prepare a sample for adhesive strength evaluation. The anticorrosion adhesive tape measures 100 mm in length and 25 mm in width. Using the adhesive strength evaluation sample, a salt spray test is carried out based on cycle D of JIS K5600-7-9, Appendix 1. The test is carried out for 28 cycles (total of 168 hours). After the salt spray test, the adhesive strength of the adhesive strength evaluation sample is measured by performing a peel test on the anticorrosion adhesive tape. The peel test is performed using a tensile tester under conditions of 23°C, 50% RH, a peel angle of 180°, and a speed of 300 mm / min, and the average value of the detected load (N) is taken as the adhesive strength.

[0018] <Gloss retention rate in accelerated weathering test> The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention preferably further comprises a substrate, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on one surface of the substrate. In this case, from the viewpoint of improving weather resistance, it is preferable that the gloss retention of the substrate be 80% or more after 500 hours of accelerated weathering testing in accordance with Cycle A of JIS K5600-7-7. When the gloss retention is 80% or more, when the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is exposed to light for a long period of time, the progress of deterioration of the substrate itself can be suppressed, and the appearance of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be made less likely to deteriorate. Furthermore, the substrate blocks light such as sunlight (especially ultraviolet light), suppressing deterioration of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and maintaining the adhesive strength of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. Considering these points, the gloss retention of the substrate constituting the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention is preferably 85% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The higher the gloss retention, the better, with the upper limit being 100%.

[0019] The gloss retention of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape after the accelerated weather resistance test can be measured by the following method. A corrosion-resistant adhesive tape (25 mm wide, 100 mm long) is applied, and the specular gloss of the surface of the tape is measured from the substrate side using a glossmeter (e.g., Horiba, Ltd., product name: "IG-340"). The specular gloss is measured using a glossmeter with a 60° geometrical condition in accordance with JIS K 5600-4-7. The specular gloss obtained in this measurement is designated as specular gloss A. The tape is then subjected to an accelerated weathering test in accordance with Cycle A of JIS K 5600-7-7 for 500 hours. After the accelerated weathering test, the specular gloss of the tape substrate is measured using the same method as before the test. The specular gloss obtained by the measurement after the test is designated as specular gloss B. The gloss retention of the tape substrate is calculated using the two specular glosses obtained in this manner. The formula for calculating gloss retention is as follows: Gloss retention rate (%) = (Specular gloss B / Specular gloss A) x 100

[0020] <Adhesive strength reduction rate> The corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention preferably exhibits an adhesive strength loss rate of 15% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and even more preferably 6% or less, in a cyclic corrosion test in accordance with Cycle D of JIS K5600-7-9. By ensuring that the adhesive strength loss rate is equal to or less than the upper limit, the adhesive strength of the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be maintained at a predetermined value or higher for a long period of time. The lower the adhesive strength loss rate of the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, the better, and it is sufficient if it is 0% or higher. The adhesive strength reduction rate can be calculated from the initial adhesive strength before the cyclic corrosion test and the adhesive strength after the cyclic corrosion test using the following formula. Adhesive strength reduction rate (%) = (initial adhesive strength - adhesive strength after test) / initial adhesive strength x 100

[0021] <Difference in tensile load> The substrate of the corrosion-preventive adhesive tape of the present invention preferably has a difference between the tensile load at 2.5% elongation and the tensile load at 0.5% elongation (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "tensile load difference") of 30 N / 24 mm or less. The tensile load difference essentially means the tensile load per 2% elongation in the elastic region. When the tensile load difference is small, the tape conforms to the adherend and is easily applied. Furthermore, even if the tape is stretched and applied to the adherend, stress due to shrinkage or the like is less likely to occur after application, resulting in better adhesion after application. If the difference in tensile load is 30 N / 24 mm or less, when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is adhered to an adherend having a complex shape, such as a welded portion after welding a pipe, shrinkage of the anticorrosion adhesive tape is suppressed, resulting in good adhesion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. Furthermore, the anticorrosion adhesive tape is easily adhered to an adherend having a complex shape by conforming to the shape. Taking these factors into consideration, the difference in tensile load is preferably 27 N / 24 mm or less, and more preferably 25 N / 24 mm or less. Furthermore, the lower limit of the difference in tensile load is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of imparting a certain level of mechanical strength, it is preferably 1 N / 24 mm or more, and more preferably 3 N / 24 mm or more. The difference in tensile load is measured in both the MD and TD directions of the substrate, and the larger of these is used. If the MD and TD directions are unknown, the largest difference in tensile load should be used. The difference in tensile load can be obtained by the measurement method described in the Examples.

[0022] <Tensile elongation at break> The substrate used in the anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention preferably has a tensile elongation at break of 100% or more. If the substrate has a tensile elongation at break of 100% or more, when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is to be adhered to a surface having a complex shape, the anticorrosion adhesive tape is less likely to tear, and the adhesion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape to the adherend is likely to be good. From this perspective, the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is preferably 200% or more, more preferably 300% or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of mechanical strength etc., it is preferably 1500% or less, more preferably 1000% or less. The tensile elongation at break is measured in both the MD and TD directions of the substrate, and the smaller of these values is used. If the MD and TD directions are unknown, the smallest tensile elongation at break value should be used. The tensile elongation at break can be obtained by the measurement method described in the Examples.

[0023] <Elmendorf tear strength> The substrate used in the anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention preferably has an Elmendorf tear strength of 0.6 N or more. If the substrate has an Elmendorf tear strength of 0.6 N or more, when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is to be adhered to a surface having a complex shape, the anticorrosion adhesive tape is less likely to tear, and the adhesion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape to the adherend is likely to be good. In light of this, the Elmendorf tear strength of the substrate is preferably 0.8 N or more, more preferably 1 N or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the Elmendorf tear strength of the substrate is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of mechanical strength etc., it is preferably 5N or less, more preferably 3N or less. The Elmendorf tear strength is measured in both the MD and TD directions of the substrate, and the smaller of these values is used. If the MD and TD directions are unknown, the smallest Elmendorf tear strength value should be used. The Elmendorf tear strength can be measured using the Elmendorf tear method in accordance with JIS K7128-2 (1998). The difference in tensile load, tensile elongation at break and Elmendorf tear strength of the substrate can be adjusted within the above ranges by appropriately selecting the material used for the substrate, the thickness of the substrate and the like.

[0024] <Materials used for the substrate> Examples of the substrate used in the present invention include sheet-like materials such as resin films and nonwoven fabrics. Examples of resin films include polyolefin resin films such as polypropylene resin films, polyethylene resin films, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) resin films, polyester resin films, polyamide resin films, acrylic resin films, polyurethane resin films, polystyrene resin films, polyvinyl chloride resin films, ethylene vinyl acetate resin films, acrylonitrile resin films, fluorine-based films, polycarbonate films, AES resin films, and ASA resin films. The nonwoven fabric is made of synthetic resin fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polyacrylic, polyolefin, polyurethane, etc. These sheet-like materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of protecting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and improving the conformability and adhesion of the tape to the adherend, the substrate is preferably a resin film. The resin film may be a single layer film or a multilayer film formed by laminating two or more of the above films.

[0025] From the viewpoint of improving weather resistance, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers (HALS), etc. may be blended into the resin constituting the substrate. Also, from the viewpoint of improving weather resistance, the substrate may be a resin film having a paint film on its surface. The paint film is preferably a weather-resistant paint film. The weather-resistant paint film may contain at least one selected from ultraviolet absorbers and light stabilizers.

[0026] Among the above-mentioned substrates, resin films are preferred for use in the present invention from the viewpoint of improving weather resistance. For example, acrylic films, fluorine-based films, polycarbonate films, polyvinyl chloride films, AES resin films, ASA resin films, etc. can be preferably used. By using these substrates, weather resistance can be imparted to the substrate without using UV absorbers or light stabilizers or applying weather-resistant paint. This prevents the UV absorbers and light stabilizers from bleeding out. Furthermore, the labor required to apply paint to the surface of the substrate can be eliminated, improving the production efficiency of anticorrosion adhesive tapes. Among these substrates, it is preferable to use at least one selected from an acrylic film and a fluorine-based film. Acrylic films are particularly excellent at protecting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer due to the strong interatomic bonding strength in the acrylic resin, which is the main component, and low ultraviolet transmittance, while fluorine-based films are thought to have high weather resistance due to the strong interatomic bonding strength between fluorine atoms and other atoms.

[0027] Among the above, the substrate used in the present invention is preferably a polyolefin resin film from the viewpoint of improving the conformability and adhesion of the tape to the adherend, and more preferably a polypropylene resin film, a polyethylene resin film, an EVA resin film, or a multilayer film of two or more films selected from these. When a polyethylene resin film is used as the substrate, the polyethylene to be used is not particularly limited, and may be low-density polyethylene (LDPE, density: 0.930 g / cm 3less than 0.930 g / cm), medium density polyethylene (MDPE, density: 0.930 g / cm 3 More than 0.942g / cm 3 less than 0.942g / cm), high density polyethylene (HDPE, density: 0.942g / cm 3 Among these, LDPE, MDPE, and LLDPE are preferred.

[0028] <Base material thickness> The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 1000 μm, more preferably 20 to 400 μm, even more preferably 20 to 100 μm, and even more preferably 25 to 80 μm. When the thickness of the substrate is equal to or greater than these lower limits, the substrate can function as a support and can also adequately protect the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer from ultraviolet rays and the like. When the thickness of the substrate is equal to or greater than these upper limits, workability is improved and the tape can be easily handled.

[0029] <Adhesive layer> The anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention includes an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer will be described below. The adhesive layer is the same in all of the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention, the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention, and the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention. Therefore, the description of the adhesive layer in the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention described below also applies to the adhesive layer in the anticorrosion adhesive tapes according to the second and third inventions described below.

[0030] (a metal with a lower potential than iron) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably contains a metal having a lower potential than iron. By containing a metal having a lower potential than iron (hereinafter also referred to as "sacrificial corrosion protection metal"), the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape has sacrificial corrosion protection properties, thereby improving the corrosion protection of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The sacrificial corrosion protection metal is dispersed in the pressure-sensitive adhesive that constitutes the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0031] Examples of sacrificial corrosion protection metals include cadmium, chromium, zinc, manganese, and aluminum. Of these, zinc and aluminum are preferred, with zinc being particularly preferred. The use of zinc provides excellent sacrificial corrosion protection.

[0032] The sacrificial corrosion protection metal may be dispersed in the pressure-sensitive adhesive as a filler in any form, such as a particle form, a scale form, a spindle form, etc., but is preferably in a particle form. By making the sacrificial corrosion protection metal in a particle form, it becomes easier to disperse in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer without substantially reducing the adhesiveness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. In this specification, the particulate shape refers to a shape in which the ratio of the length in the major axis direction to the length in the minor axis direction (aspect ratio) is small, for example, an aspect ratio of 3 or less, preferably 2 or less. The particle shape is not particularly limited, and may be spherical or may be an amorphous shape such as powder. The particle size of the above particulate metal is, for example, 1 to 500 μm, preferably 1 to 200 μm. In this specification, the particle size refers to the average particle size measured by laser diffraction.

[0033] The content of the sacrificial anticorrosive metal in the adhesive layer is, for example, 0.5 to 20 mass %, preferably 1 to 12 mass %, and more preferably 2 to 10 mass %, based on the total mass of the adhesive layer. If the content of the sacrificial corrosion protection metal is equal to or greater than these lower limit values, the sacrificial corrosion protection property is enhanced, thereby improving the corrosion prevention performance, and if it is equal to or less than these upper limit values, the adhesive strength is increased.

[0034] It is also preferable that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer does not contain a sacrificial anticorrosive metal. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer does not contain a sacrificial anticorrosive metal, the adhesive strength of the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is maintained high compared to when the anticorrosive metal is contained, making it difficult to peel from the adherend, thereby blocking water and oxygen and making it easier to improve corrosion prevention.

[0035] (Conductive materials) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably further contains, in addition to the sacrificial metal, a conductive material other than the sacrificial metal. The conductive material makes it easier for electrons released when the sacrificial metal is ionized to move to the adherend, thereby improving the sacrificial protection properties. The conductive material may be one or more selected from carbon-based materials, metal-based materials, metal oxide-based materials, ionic polymers, and conductive polymers. Examples of carbon-based materials include carbon black, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and acetylene black. Examples of metal-based materials include iron, or metals with a more noble potential than iron, such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, or alloys containing these metals. Examples of metal oxide materials include indium tin oxide (ITO), antimony trioxide (ATO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), and zinc oxide. Examples of conductive polymers include polyacetylene, polypyrrole, PEDOT (polyethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT / PSS (a composite of polyethylenedioxythiophene and polystyrene sulfonic acid), polythiophene, polyaniline, poly(p-phenylene), polyfluorene, polycarbazole, polysilane, or derivatives thereof. Examples of ionic polymers include sodium polyacrylate and potassium polyacrylate. The conductive material may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among the above, carbon-based materials are preferred as the conductive material, and carbon nanotubes are more preferred.

[0036] (carbon nanotubes) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably contains carbon nanotubes. The inclusion of carbon nanotubes improves the sacrificial corrosion protection of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and maintains high adhesive strength, making it easier to obtain a corrosion-resistant adhesive tape that combines high adhesive strength and sacrificial corrosion protection. This is presumably because, although carbon nanotubes are a conductive material, a smaller amount is required to exhibit a certain level of sacrificial corrosion protection compared to other types of conductive materials, so the degree of decrease in adhesive strength is smaller.

[0037] Carbon nanotubes are tubular materials made from carbon. They have excellent electrical properties, and when combined with resins, they can be used to form highly conductive sheets. Carbon nanotubes are made of graphite sheets with a hexagonal mesh of carbon atoms rolled into a cylindrical shape. Nanotubes rolled in one layer are called single-wall carbon nanotubes, while nanotubes rolled in multiple layers are called multi-wall carbon nanotubes. In the anticorrosion adhesive tape of one embodiment of the present invention, the type of carbon nanotubes is not particularly limited, and may be any of single-wall carbon nanotubes, multi-wall carbon nanotubes, and mixtures containing these in any ratio. Carbon nanotubes manufactured by various methods such as arc discharge, laser evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) can also be used.

[0038] The carbon nanotubes preferably have an average diameter of 1 to 100 nm, more preferably 2 to 15 nm. The carbon nanotubes preferably have an average length of 0.1 to 1,000 μm, more preferably 10 to 500 μm. The carbon nanotubes preferably have an aspect ratio (average length / average diameter) of 10 to 100,000, more preferably 500 to 30,000. The diameter of a carbon nanotube refers to the outer diameter in the case of a single-walled carbon nanotube, and the outer diameter of the outermost tube in the case of a multi-walled carbon nanotube. The diameter and length of a carbon nanotube can be measured, for example, from an image obtained by observation with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the average diameter and average length can be calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of any 50 nanotubes.

[0039] From the viewpoint of the sacrificial corrosion protection and adhesive strength of the adhesive layer, the content of the conductive material in the adhesive layer is preferably 0.005 to 10 mass%, more preferably 0.005 to 5 mass%, even more preferably 0.006 to 3 mass%, and even more preferably 0.006 to 2 mass%, based on the total amount of the adhesive layer.

[0040] When the conductive material is carbon nanotubes, the content of the carbon nanotubes in the adhesive layer is preferably 0.0005 to 0.7 mass%, more preferably 0.005 to 0.05 mass%, and even more preferably 0.006 to 0.045 mass%, based on the total mass of the adhesive layer. When the carbon nanotube content is equal to or greater than these lower limit values, the sacrificial corrosion resistance is likely to be enhanced, and when the carbon nanotube content is equal to or less than these upper limit values, the adhesive strength is likely to be improved.

[0041] (adhesive) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably formed from a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The type of pressure-sensitive adhesive is not particularly limited, but examples include acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, rubber pressure-sensitive adhesives, urethane pressure-sensitive adhesives, and silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives. These may be used alone or in combination. Among these, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably formed from an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0042] (acrylic adhesive) The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is a pressure-sensitive adhesive containing an acrylic polymer obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable monomer including a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A). In this specification, the term "(meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester" refers to a concept including both acrylic acid alkyl ester and methacrylic acid alkyl ester, and the same applies to other similar terms. Furthermore, the term "polymerizable monomer" refers to a concept that can include not only compounds having no repeating units, but also compounds that copolymerize with the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester-based monomer (A), such as the olefin polymer (C) described below, which monomer itself has repeating units.

[0043] ((Meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A)) The (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) is an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and an aliphatic alcohol, and is preferably an alkyl ester derived from an aliphatic alcohol in which the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group of the aliphatic alcohol is preferably 2 to 14, more preferably 4 to 10. When the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is within this range, it is easy to increase adhesive strength, and it is also easy to adjust the storage modulus at 23°C of the pressure-sensitive adhesive described below to a predetermined range.

[0044] Specific examples of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) include ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-propyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, pentyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, heptyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate, nonyl (meth)acrylate, decyl (meth)acrylate, undecyl (meth)acrylate, dodecyl (meth)acrylate, tridecyl (meth)acrylate, and tetradecyl (meth)acrylate. Among these, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, heptyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, and n-octyl (meth)acrylate are preferred, and n-butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, or a combination thereof is more preferred. The (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester-based monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0045] The structural unit derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) constitutes the main component of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and its content is generally 30% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, and more preferably 70% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Increasing the content of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) thus makes it possible to impart a desired adhesive strength to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Furthermore, the content of the structural unit derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) is, for example, 97% by mass or less, preferably 95% by mass or less, and more preferably 90% by mass or less, in order to contain a certain amount or more of other components. The content of the structural unit derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is substantially the same as the content of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition described below, and can be expressed interchangeably. The same applies to components other than component (A), such as components (B) and (C) described below.

[0046] (Polar Group-Containing Vinyl Monomer (B)) The polymerizable monomer preferably contains a polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) in addition to the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A). The polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) has a polar group and a vinyl group. Use of the polar group-containing monomer (B) makes it easier to improve adhesive strength to an adherend. Examples of the polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) include carboxylic acid vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate, carboxylic acids containing a vinyl group such as (meth)acrylic acid and itaconic acid, and their anhydrides, vinyl monomers having a hydroxyl group such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, caprolactone-modified (meth)acrylate, polyoxyethylene (meth)acrylate, and polyoxypropylene (meth)acrylate, and nitrogen-containing vinyl monomers such as (meth)acrylonitrile, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylcaprolactam, N-vinyllaurolactam, (meth)acryloylmorpholine, (meth)acrylamide, dimethyl(meth)acrylamide, N-methylol(meth)acrylamide, N-butoxymethyl(meth)acrylamide, and dimethylaminomethyl (meth)acrylate. Among these, (meth)acrylic acid, itaconic acid, and other vinyl group-containing carboxylic acids and their anhydrides are preferred, (meth)acrylic acid is more preferred, and acrylic acid is even more preferred. These polar group-containing vinyl monomers (B) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0047] When a polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) is used, the content of the structural units derived from the polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 1 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 12 parts by mass, and even more preferably 3 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the structural units derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A). By setting the content of the polar group-containing vinyl monomer (B) within this range, the adhesive strength of the corrosion prevention pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be easily improved.

[0048] (olefin polymer (C)) The polymerizable monomer preferably further contains an olefin polymer (C) having a polymerizable bond at one end. Use of such an olefin polymer (C) makes it easier to improve the adhesive strength of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. The polymerizable bond means an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond that can be polymerized with a polymerizable monomer, and examples thereof include an unsaturated double bond, and preferably a (meth)acryloyl group. The olefin polymer (C) may be a polyolefin having a (meth)acryloyl group at one end. The polyolefin is a polymer of an aliphatic hydrocarbon compound having a double bond, such as ethylene, propylene, butane, butadiene, or isoprene, or a hydrogenated product thereof.

[0049] Examples of polyolefins having a (meth)acryloyl group at one end include polyethylene having a (meth)acryloyl group at one end, which is prepared by reacting polyethylene having an epoxy group at one end with (meth)acrylic acid. Also included are polybutadienes having a (meth)acryloyl group at one end or hydrogenated products thereof, such as "L-1253" manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.

[0050] The olefin polymer (C) has a number average molecular weight of preferably 500 to 20000, more preferably 1000 to 10000. The number average molecular weight may be measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and calculated using a calibration curve of standard polystyrene. Furthermore, the content of the structural units derived from the olefin polymer (C) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 15 parts by mass, and even more preferably 4 to 12 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the structural units derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester-based monomer (A).

[0051] (Crosslinking agent (D)) The polymerizable monomer preferably further contains a crosslinking agent. Examples of the crosslinking agent include a polyfunctional monomer having two or more vinyl groups, and preferably a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups. Use of a polyfunctional monomer makes it easier to adjust the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to an appropriate range. The polyfunctional (meth)acrylate is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate triacrylate, ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate, proxilated trimethylolpropane triacrylate, proxilated glyceryl triacrylate, neopentyl glycol adipate diacrylate, and the like, as well as polymers such as polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, and liquid hydrogenated 1,2-polybutadiene di(meth)acrylate. Among these polyfunctional (meth)acrylates, polymers are preferred, and liquid hydrogenated 1,2-polybutadiene diacrylate is more preferred. Commercially available liquid hydrogenated 1,2-polybutadiene diacrylates include "TEAI-1000" manufactured by Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. Furthermore, the content of the structural units derived from the crosslinking agent in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 0.1 to 4 parts by mass, more preferably 0.3 to 3 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.5 to 2 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the structural units derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A).

[0052] (tackifying resin) The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive may contain a tackifying resin from the viewpoint of improving adhesive strength. As the tackifying resin, a tackifying resin with low polymerization inhibition property such as hydrogenated terpene resin, hydrogenated rosin, disproportionated rosin resin, petroleum resin, etc. is preferable. Among these, hydrogenated tackifying resins are preferable because tackifying resins with many double bonds inhibit the polymerization reaction, and hydrogenated petroleum resins are particularly preferable. From the viewpoint of improving the cohesive strength and adhesive strength of the PSA, the softening point of the tackifier resin may be about 95° C. or higher, but preferably includes one that is 120° C. or higher, and for example, one that is 95° C. or higher but lower than 120° C. may be used in combination with one that is 120° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower. The softening point may be measured by the ring and ball method specified in JIS K2207. The content of the tackifying resin in the acrylic adhesive is preferably 5 to 40 parts by mass, more preferably 7 to 35 parts by mass, and even more preferably 10 to 25 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the structural unit derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A).

[0053] (fine particles) The acrylic adhesive may contain fine particles, which can improve adhesive strength. Examples of fine particles include inorganic hollow particles such as glass balloons, shirasu balloons, and fly ash balloons; organic hollow particles made of polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer, polystyrene, and phenolic resin; inorganic fine particles such as glass beads, silica beads, and synthetic mica; and organic fine particles such as ethyl polyacrylate, polyurethane, polyethylene, and polypropylene. The content of the fine particles in the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferably 0.1 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.7 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the structural units derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer (A).

[0054] (Other ingredients) The acrylic adhesive used in the adhesive layer may contain, in addition to the components described above, various additives conventionally used in adhesives, such as plasticizers, softeners, pigments, dyes, photopolymerization initiators, and flame retardants.

[0055] (Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and method for producing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive can be obtained by irradiating a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing the above-mentioned polymerizable monomer, and optionally a sacrificial corrosion-protective metal and a conductive material, with light to polymerize the polymerizable monomer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may also contain at least one of the above-mentioned tackifier resin, fine particles, and other components as needed. More specifically, first, a polymerizable monomer, a sacrificial corrosion protection metal and a conductive material which are blended as necessary, and a tackifier resin, fine particles, and other components which are blended as necessary are placed in a reaction vessel such as a glass vessel and mixed to obtain a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. Next, in order to remove dissolved oxygen in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, an inert gas such as nitrogen gas is generally supplied to purge the oxygen. Then, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is applied onto a release sheet, or onto a support such as a resin film, woven fabric, or nonwoven fabric, and then irradiated with light to polymerize the polymerizable monomer, thereby obtaining a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The steps from the application or impregnation of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition to the light irradiation are preferably carried out in an inert gas atmosphere or in a state where oxygen is blocked by a film or the like. In the present production method, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition obtained by mixing the components may be pre-polymerized before being applied to a release sheet, a support, or the like, in order to increase the viscosity.

[0056] (rubber adhesive) Next, the rubber-based adhesive used in the adhesive layer will be described. The rubber-based adhesive contains a rubber component and a tackifying resin, and it is preferable to use a styrene-isoprene block copolymer as the rubber component. The styrene-isoprene block copolymer preferably has a diblock ratio of 25 to 70% by mass, more preferably 30 to 65% by mass, and even more preferably 45 to 60% by mass. Here, diblock refers to a diblock composed of styrene and isoprene. By setting the diblock ratio within the above range, it becomes easier to increase adhesive strength. In addition to diblocks, styrene-isoprene block copolymers also include those having three or more blocks, such as triblocks composed of styrene, isoprene, and styrene blocks.

[0057] The amount of styrene in the styrene-isoprene block copolymer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 14 to 24% by mass, more preferably 15 to 18% by mass. If the amount of styrene is 14% by mass or more, the adhesive tends to have high cohesive strength. If the amount of styrene is 24% by mass or less, the cohesive strength becomes moderate and adhesive strength is easily exerted. The molecular weight of the styrene-isoprene block copolymer is not particularly limited, but is preferably a mass average molecular weight of 100,000 to 400,000, more preferably 150,000 to 250,000. The mass average molecular weight here refers to a molecular weight measured as polystyrene equivalent by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).

[0058] Various tackifying resins can be used for rubber-based adhesives, but petroleum-based resins, terpene resins, and coumarone resins are preferred. While one tackifying resin may be used alone or in combination with two or more, it is preferred to use a petroleum-based resin in combination with at least one selected from terpene resins and coumarone resins. Such a combination of tackifying resins facilitates improved adhesive strength. Examples of petroleum-based resins include aliphatic petroleum resins (C5 petroleum resins), alicyclic petroleum resins, and aromatic petroleum resins, with aliphatic petroleum resins being preferred from the viewpoint of compatibility with styrene-isoprene block copolymers. Furthermore, it is preferable to use petroleum-based resins with a softening point of about 90 to 120°C. The terpene resin used may have a softening point of about 80 to 120° C., but from the viewpoint of ensuring adhesive strength, it is preferable to use a terpene resin having a softening point of less than 100° C. The coumarone resin used should preferably have a softening point of 110 to 130° C., more preferably 115 to 125° C., in order to ensure cohesive strength.

[0059] The amount of the tackifier resin is preferably 60 to 250 parts by mass, more preferably 100 to 200 parts by mass, and even more preferably 110 to 180 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. By setting the amount of the tackifier resin within the above range, it becomes possible to improve the cohesive force and impart appropriate adhesive strength. When a petroleum-based resin is used in combination with at least one selected from a terpene resin and a coumarone resin, the amount of the petroleum-based resin is preferably 50 to 200 parts by mass, more preferably 60 to 150 parts by mass, and more preferably 60 to 110 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. On the other hand, the amount of the terpene resin is preferably 10 to 70 parts by mass, more preferably 20 to 60 parts by mass, and even more preferably 30 to 50 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. Furthermore, the amount of the coumarone resin is preferably 10 to 60 parts by mass, more preferably 15 to 50 parts by mass, and even more preferably 20 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. The rubber-based adhesive may contain the above-mentioned fine particles, as in the acrylic-based adhesive, and may also contain, as necessary, a sacrificial anticorrosive metal, a conductive material, a softener, an antioxidant, a filler, etc.

[0060] (urethane adhesive) The urethane-based adhesive is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include urethane resins obtained by reacting at least a polyol with a polyisocyanate compound. Examples of the polyol include polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, and polycaprolactone polyols. Examples of the polyisocyanate compounds include diphenylmethane diisocyanate, tolylene diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate. These urethane adhesives may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The urethane-based adhesive may be a urethane resin obtained by reacting a polyurethane polyol with a polyfunctional isocyanate curing agent. Examples of the polyurethane polyol include a reaction product of the above-mentioned polyol with a polyisocyanate compound, or a reaction product of a polyol, a polyisocyanate compound, and a chain extender such as a diamine. The polyfunctional isocyanate curing agent may be any compound having two or more isocyanate groups, and the above-mentioned isocyanate compounds can be used. The urethane-based adhesive may contain the above-mentioned fine particles in addition to the urethane resin, and may also contain a tackifying resin, a sacrificial anticorrosive metal, a conductive material, a softener, an antioxidant, a filler, etc., as necessary.

[0061] (Silicone adhesive) Examples of silicone-based adhesives include addition reaction type, peroxide curing type, and condensation reaction type silicone-based adhesives. Among these, addition reaction type silicone-based adhesives are preferably used from the viewpoint of being able to cure at low temperature in a short time. Note that addition reaction type silicone-based adhesives cure when the adhesive layer is formed. When an addition reaction type silicone-based adhesive is used as the silicone-based adhesive, the silicone-based adhesive may contain a catalyst such as a platinum catalyst. The silicone adhesive may contain fine particles, and may also contain a crosslinking agent and various additives for controlling adhesive strength.

[0062] (storage modulus G') The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably has a storage modulus G' at 23°C of 50,000 to 1,000,000 Pa. When the storage modulus G' at 23°C is within this range, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is damaged by external impact or the like, the force to restore the damaged area to its original state (hereinafter also referred to as self-repairing force) becomes strong. As a result, rust generation is suppressed and corrosion prevention performance is improved. The storage modulus G' of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at 23° C. is more preferably 200,000 to 800,000 Pa, and even more preferably 300,000 to 600,000 Pa, from the viewpoint of increasing the self-repairing ability and improving the anticorrosion performance. The storage modulus G' can be calculated by measuring the dynamic viscoelastic spectrum using, for example, a DVA-200 (manufactured by IT Measurement & Control Co., Ltd.) under the following conditions: shear mode: 10 Hz, strain: 0.1%, temperature range: -100°C to 100°C, and heating rate: 10°C / min.

[0063] (Thickness) The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 25 μm or more, more preferably 100 μm or more. By making the thickness 100 μm or more, the self-repairing ability and the like are enhanced, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and the adhesive strength is also likely to be increased. From this perspective, the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is more preferably 200 μm or more, even more preferably 300 μm or more, and even more preferably 500 μm or more. Furthermore, there is no particular upper limit to the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, but from the perspective of obtaining an effect of improving the corrosion resistance performance according to the thickness, the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is, for example, 3000 μm or less, preferably 2000 μm or less, and more preferably 1500 μm or less.

[0064] [Composition of anti-corrosion adhesive tape] The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention may be a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or a single-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The layer structure of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1, the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 is preferably a double-sided adhesive tape called a substrate-less double-sided tape, which is made up of only an adhesive layer 11 (i.e., an adhesive layer alone). By using the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 made up of only an adhesive layer 11, the thickness of the tape can be reduced while maintaining good corrosion resistance. The anticorrosion adhesive tape of each drawing is used by adhering the surface 11A of the adhesive layer 11 to an adherend as an adhesive surface.

[0065] 2, the anticorrosive adhesive tape 10 may be a single-sided adhesive tape having a substrate 12 and an adhesive layer 11 provided on one side of the substrate 12. This allows the adhesive layer 11 to be protected by the substrate 12. Furthermore, although not shown, the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape may be a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape having a substrate and pressure-sensitive adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate. In this case, each pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is as described above.

[0066] As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention does not need to contain a metal having a lower potential than iron. In this case, to enhance the corrosion resistance of the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10, as shown in FIG. 3 , the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 preferably comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 and a metal layer 13 provided on one side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11, and the metal layer 13 is preferably a layer of a metal having a lower potential than iron. While the metal having a lower potential than iron may be any of the metals listed above without any particular limitation, the metal layer 13 is more preferably a zinc layer. Specifically, the metal layer 13 may be formed by adhering a metal foil made of a metal having a lower potential than iron to the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11. Alternatively, the metal layer 13 may be a metal film formed by coating the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 with a metal by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like.

[0067] The metal layer 13 is formed directly on the adhesive layer 11. That is, the metal constituting the metal layer 13, which has a lower potential than iron, comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11. When the metal having a lower potential than iron comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11, electrons released upon ionization can easily migrate to the adhesive layer 11, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10. Also in this case, from the viewpoint of the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 11 contain a conductive material other than a metal having a lower potential than iron.

[0068] The thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 2.5 μm or more. When the thickness of the metal layer 13 is 2.5 μm or more, the metal layer 13 can sufficiently supply electrons due to ionization of the metal in the metal layer 13, and the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 can maintain sufficient corrosion prevention properties. From the viewpoint of improving the corrosion prevention properties of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is more preferably 5 μm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ensuring the flexibility of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 and improving the handleability of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 200 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less.

[0069] 4, the anticorrosive adhesive tape 10 may further include a substrate 12 and a metal layer 13 provided on one side of the substrate 12, with an adhesive layer 11 provided on one side of the metal layer 13, the metal layer 13 being a layer of a metal having a lower potential than iron. Because the metal layer 13 is protected by the substrate 12, the anticorrosive properties of the anticorrosive adhesive tape 10 can be further improved. Also in this case, from the viewpoint of the anticorrosive properties of the anticorrosive adhesive tape 10, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 11 contains a conductive material other than a metal having a lower potential than iron. In this case, the metal layer 13 may be adhered to the substrate 12 with an adhesive or the like, or may be formed on the substrate 12 by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like.

[0070] Furthermore, even when the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape includes a metal layer that is a layer of a metal having a potential more base than iron, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may contain a metal having a potential more base than iron, thereby further improving the corrosion prevention properties of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for both the metal in the metal layer having a potential more base than iron and the metal in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a potential more base than iron.

[0071] The anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention may have a release sheet attached to the surface of the adhesive layer. The release sheet is preferably peeled from the adhesive layer before use to expose the adhesive layer, and the exposed adhesive layer is then attached to an adherend. For example, in a double-sided adhesive tape, release sheets may be attached to both sides of the tape, or to only one side of the tape. In addition, in a single-sided adhesive tape, a release sheet may be attached to one side of the exposed adhesive layer. The release sheet may be a resin film, and it is preferable that the surface to be bonded to the adhesive layer is a release-treated surface that has been subjected to release treatment with a silicone release agent or the like.

[0072] The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention is used by being attached to various adherends, and the type of adherend is not particularly limited. Because the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention has excellent adhesive strength and corrosion prevention properties, it is preferably used by being attached to the surface of an adherend made of various metal materials. The metal material is preferably a metal material containing at least one selected from the group consisting of iron and iron-containing alloys. Specific examples of iron-containing alloys include alloy steels such as nickel-chromium steel, nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel, chromium steel, chromium-molybdenum steel, and manganese steel, as well as various steel materials such as carbon steel.

[0073] [Anti-corrosion adhesive tape (second invention)] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention will be described below. A second aspect of the present invention provides an anticorrosion adhesive tape comprising a substrate and an adhesive layer provided on one side of the substrate, wherein the substrate has a gloss retention of 80% or more after 500 hours of accelerated weathering testing in accordance with JIS K5600-7-7, Cycle A. Furthermore, the anticorrosion adhesive tape of the second aspect of the present invention has an adhesive strength of 20 N / 25 mm or more after a cyclic corrosion test in accordance with JIS K5600-7-9, Cycle D.

[0074] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second aspect of the present invention has a substrate gloss retention of 80% or more after 500 hours of accelerated weathering testing in accordance with Cycle A of JIS K5600-7-7. If the gloss retention is less than 80%, the substrate itself will deteriorate when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is exposed to light for a long period of time, resulting in a deterioration in the appearance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. Furthermore, the substrate will not be able to adequately block sunlight and other light (especially ultraviolet light), which will also cause the adhesive layer to deteriorate and reduce the adhesive strength of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. Therefore, it will be difficult to prevent a decrease in adhesive strength unless a weather-resistant paint is applied over the tape. Considering these points, the gloss retention of the substrate constituting the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention is preferably 85% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The higher the gloss retention, the better, with the upper limit being 100%. The gloss retention of the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape after the accelerated weather resistance test can be measured by the same method as described above for the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention.

[0075] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second aspect of the present invention has an adhesive strength of 20 N / 25 mm or more after a cyclic corrosion test. If the adhesive strength is less than 20 N / 25 mm, the long-term adhesive strength will be insufficient, and the anticorrosion adhesive tape will be prone to peeling from an adherend such as a steel material, resulting in reduced corrosion prevention. From the viewpoint of increasing the adhesive strength and improving the corrosion resistance, the adhesive strength after the cyclic corrosion test is preferably 25 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 30 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 40 N / 25 mm or more. The higher the adhesive strength, the better, but in practice it is 200 N / 25 mm or less. The method for measuring the adhesive strength after the cyclic corrosion test is the same as that explained in the corrosion-preventive adhesive tape according to the first invention, and therefore, explanation thereof will be omitted here.

[0076] From the viewpoint of improving long-term corrosion resistance, it is preferable that the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the second invention does not generate rust in a cyclic corrosion test, as explained above for the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention. With regard to "presence or absence of rust in a cyclic corrosion test," what has been explained for the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention can also be applied to the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the second invention, and therefore further explanation will be omitted here.

[0077] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of conforming to the shape of an adherend having a complex shape and exhibiting excellent corrosion prevention properties, the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention also preferably satisfies the requirements of "tensile load difference," "tensile elongation at break," and "Elmendorf tear strength" explained for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention. With regard to "tensile load difference," "tensile elongation at break," and "Elmendorf tear strength," what was explained for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention can also be applied to the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention, and therefore further explanation will be omitted here.

[0078] <Base material> The substrate in the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention can be the same as the substrate described for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention, without any particular restrictions. With regard to the "material used for the substrate" and "thickness of the substrate," what was described for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention also applies to the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention, and therefore further description here will be omitted.

[0079] <Adhesive layer> The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention comprises an adhesive layer on at least one surface of a substrate, which is the same as the adhesive layer in the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention described above, and therefore further description thereof will be omitted.

[0080] <Configuration of anti-corrosion adhesive tape> 2, the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 according to the second invention is preferably a single-sided adhesive tape having a substrate 12 and an adhesive layer 11 provided on one side of the substrate 12. This allows the adhesive layer 11 to be protected by the substrate 12. The anticorrosion adhesive tape of each drawing is used by adhering the surface 11A of the adhesive layer 11 to an adherend as an adhesive surface. Furthermore, although not shown, the anticorrosive adhesive tape may be a double-sided adhesive tape having a substrate and adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate. As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention does not need to contain a metal having a lower potential than iron. In this case, to enhance the corrosion resistance of the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10, as shown in FIG. 4 , the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 further includes a metal layer 13 between the substrate 12 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11, and the metal layer 13 is preferably a layer of a metal having a lower potential than iron. While the metal having a lower potential than iron may be any of the metals listed above without any particular limitation, the metal layer 13 is preferably a layer of zinc. Specifically, the metal layer 13 may be adhered to the substrate 12 with an adhesive or the like, or may be formed on the substrate 12 by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like. Alternatively, the metal layer 13 may be a metal film formed by coating the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 with a metal by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like.

[0081] The metal layer 13 is formed directly on the adhesive layer 11, sandwiched between the substrate 12 and the adhesive layer 11. That is, the metal constituting the metal layer 13, which has a lower potential than iron, comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11. When the metal having a lower potential than iron comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11, electrons released upon ionization can easily migrate to the adhesive layer 11, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10. Also in this case, from the viewpoint of the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 11 contain a conductive material other than a metal having a lower potential than iron.

[0082] The thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 2.5 μm or more. When the thickness of the metal layer 13 is 2.5 μm or more, the metal layer 13 can sufficiently supply electrons due to ionization of the metal in the metal layer 13, and the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 can maintain sufficient corrosion prevention properties. From the viewpoint of improving the corrosion prevention properties of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is more preferably 5 μm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ensuring the flexibility of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 and improving the handleability of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 200 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less.

[0083] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention may have a release sheet attached to the surface of the adhesive layer. The release sheet is preferably peeled from the adhesive layer before use to expose the adhesive layer, and the exposed adhesive layer is then attached to an adherend. More specifically, the release sheet is preferably attached to the surface of the adhesive layer opposite to the surface on which the substrate or metal layer 13 is provided, i.e., surface 11A. The release sheet may be a resin film, and it is preferable that the surface to be bonded to the adhesive layer is a release-treated surface that has been subjected to release treatment with a silicone release agent or the like.

[0084] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the second invention is used by being attached to various adherends, and the type of adherend is not particularly limited. Because the anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention has excellent adhesive strength and corrosion prevention properties, it is preferably used by being attached to the surface of an adherend made of various metal materials. The metal material is preferably a metal material containing at least one selected from the group consisting of iron and iron-containing alloys. Specific examples of iron-containing alloys include alloy steels such as nickel-chromium steel, nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel, chromium steel, chromium-molybdenum steel, and manganese steel, as well as various steel materials such as carbon steel.

[0085] [Anti-corrosion adhesive tape (third invention)] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention will be described below. A corrosion-preventive adhesive tape according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a substrate and an adhesive layer provided on at least one surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate has a difference of 30 N / 24 mm or less between the tensile load at 2.5% elongation and the tensile load at 0.5% elongation, and a tensile elongation at break of 100% or more.

[0086] The substrate of the corrosion-preventive adhesive tape according to the third invention has a difference (tensile load difference) between the tensile load at 2.5% elongation and the tensile load at 0.5% elongation, which is 30 N / 24 mm or less. The tensile load difference essentially means the tensile load per 2% elongation in the elastic region. When the tensile load difference is small, the tape conforms to the adherend and is easily applied. Furthermore, even if the tape is stretched and applied to the adherend, stress due to shrinkage or the like is less likely to occur after application, resulting in better adhesion after application. If the difference in tensile load exceeds 30 N / 24 mm, when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is adhered to an adherend having a complex shape, such as a welded portion after welding a pipe, shrinkage of the anticorrosion adhesive tape may occur, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. Furthermore, it becomes difficult to conform and adhere the anticorrosion adhesive tape to the adherend having a complex shape. Taking these points into consideration, the difference in tensile load is preferably 27 N / 24 mm or less, and more preferably 25 N / 24 mm or less. Furthermore, the lower limit of the difference in tensile load is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of imparting a certain level of mechanical strength, it is preferably 1 N / 24 mm or more, and more preferably 3 N / 24 mm or more. The difference in tensile load is measured in both the MD and TD directions of the substrate, and the larger of these is used. If the MD and TD directions are unknown, the largest difference in tensile load should be used. The difference in tensile load can be obtained by the measurement method described in the Examples.

[0087] The substrate used in the anticorrosion adhesive tape of the present invention has a tensile elongation at break of 100% or more. If the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is less than 100%, when the anticorrosion adhesive tape is applied to a surface having a complex shape, the anticorrosion adhesive tape may tear, resulting in insufficient adhesion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape to the adherend. Taking this into consideration, the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is preferably 200% or more, and more preferably 300% or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the tensile elongation at break of the substrate is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of mechanical strength etc., it is preferably 1500% or less, more preferably 1000% or less. The tensile elongation at break is measured in both the MD and TD directions of the substrate, and the smaller of these values is used. If the MD and TD directions are unknown, the smallest tensile elongation at break value should be used. The tensile elongation at break can be obtained by the measurement method described in the Examples. The difference in tensile load and tensile elongation at break of the substrate can be adjusted within the above ranges by appropriately selecting the material used for the substrate, the thickness of the substrate, and the like.

[0088] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of conforming to the shape of an adherend having a complex shape and exhibiting excellent corrosion prevention properties, the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention also preferably satisfies the requirements for "Elmendorf tear strength" explained for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention. With regard to "Elmendorf tear strength," what was explained for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention can also be applied to the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention, and therefore further explanation will be omitted here.

[0089] From the viewpoint of improving long-term corrosion resistance, it is preferable that the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the third invention does not develop rust in a cyclic corrosion test, as explained above for the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention. With regard to "presence or absence of rust in a cyclic corrosion test" and "adhesive strength after a cyclic corrosion test," what was explained for the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention can also be applied to the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the third invention, and therefore further explanation will be omitted here.

[0090] From the viewpoint of improving weather resistance, the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the third invention preferably has a substrate gloss retention of 80% or more after 500 hours of accelerated weather resistance testing in accordance with JIS K5600-7-7, Cycle A. With regard to the "gloss retention in accelerated weather resistance testing," what has been explained for the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the first invention is also applicable to the anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the third invention, and therefore further explanation will be omitted here.

[0091] <Base material> The substrate in the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention can be the same as the substrate described for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention, without any particular restrictions. The "material used for the substrate" and "thickness of the substrate" described for the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention can also be applied to the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention, and therefore further description here will be omitted.

[0092] <Adhesive layer> The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention comprises an adhesive layer on at least one surface of a substrate, which is the same as the adhesive layer in the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the first invention described above, and therefore further description thereof will be omitted.

[0093] <Configuration of anti-corrosion adhesive tape> 2, the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 according to the third invention is preferably a single-sided adhesive tape having a substrate 12 and an adhesive layer 11 provided on one side of the substrate 12. This allows the adhesive layer 11 to be protected by the substrate 12. The anticorrosion adhesive tape of each drawing is used by adhering the surface 11A of the adhesive layer 11 to an adherend as an adhesive surface. Furthermore, although not shown, the anticorrosive adhesive tape may be a double-sided adhesive tape having a substrate and adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate.

[0094] As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention does not need to contain a metal having a lower potential than iron. In this case, to enhance the corrosion resistance of the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10, as shown in FIG. 4 , the corrosion-preventive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 further includes a metal layer 13 between the substrate 12 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11, and the metal layer 13 is preferably a layer of a metal having a lower potential than iron. While the metal having a lower potential than iron may be any of the metals listed above without any particular limitation, the metal layer 13 is preferably a layer of zinc. Specifically, the metal layer 13 may be adhered to the substrate 12 with an adhesive or the like, or may be formed on the substrate 12 by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like. Alternatively, the metal layer 13 may be a metal film formed by coating the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 with a metal by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like.

[0095] The metal layer 13 is formed directly on the adhesive layer 11, sandwiched between the substrate 12 and the adhesive layer 11. That is, the metal constituting the metal layer 13, which has a lower potential than iron, comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11. When the metal having a lower potential than iron comes into contact with the adhesive layer 11, electrons released upon ionization can easily migrate to the adhesive layer 11, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10. Also in this case, from the viewpoint of the corrosion resistance of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 11 contain a conductive material other than a metal having a lower potential than iron.

[0096] The thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 2.5 μm or more. When the thickness of the metal layer 13 is 2.5 μm or more, the metal layer 13 can sufficiently supply electrons due to ionization of the metal in the metal layer 13, and the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 can maintain sufficient corrosion prevention properties. From the viewpoint of improving the corrosion prevention properties of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is more preferably 5 μm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ensuring the flexibility of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10 and improving the handleability of the corrosion prevention adhesive tape 10, and from the viewpoint of making it easier to adhere the corrosion prevention adhesive tape to an adherend having a complex shape, the thickness of the metal layer 13 is preferably 200 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less.

[0097] The anticorrosion adhesive tape of the third invention may have a release sheet attached to the surface of the adhesive layer. The release sheet is preferably peeled from the adhesive layer before use to expose the adhesive layer, and the exposed adhesive layer is then attached to an adherend. More specifically, the release sheet is preferably attached to the surface of the adhesive layer opposite the surface on which the substrate 12 or the metal layer 13 is provided, i.e., surface 11A. The release sheet may be a resin film, and it is preferable that the surface to be bonded to the adhesive layer is a release-treated surface that has been subjected to release treatment with a silicone release agent or the like.

[0098] [Applications for anti-corrosion adhesive tape] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third aspect of the present invention is applied to various adherends and used to protect the adherends from corrosion. Because the anticorrosion adhesive tape according to one embodiment of the present invention has excellent adhesive strength and corrosion prevention properties, it is preferably applied to the surface of an adherend made of various metal materials. The metal material is preferably a metal material containing at least one selected from the group consisting of iron and iron-containing alloys. Specific examples of iron-containing alloys include alloy steels such as nickel-chromium steel, nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel, chromium steel, chromium-molybdenum steel, and manganese steel, as well as various steel materials such as carbon steel.

[0099] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention is preferably used for adherends having complex shapes. Specific examples of the adherend include adherends having irregularities, such as a member having a welded portion formed by joining two members by welding. In a member having a welded portion, the welded portion forms a convex portion. An example of an adherend having a welded portion is a welded pipe. In a welded pipe, the welded portion is the joint portion connecting the two pipes. When the adherend has a welded portion, the anticorrosion adhesive tape may be applied so as to cover the welded portion. Generally, when an anti-corrosion paint is applied to a welded portion, the paint drips before hardening, resulting in a thinner film thickness after hardening than necessary, which can cause cracks and expose the cracked surfaces, making the welded portion relatively susceptible to rust. However, by applying the anti-corrosion adhesive tape of the present invention, rust at such welded portions can be appropriately prevented. Furthermore, the anti-corrosion adhesive tape of the present invention can ensure high adhesion and conformability without tearing even when applied to an adherend having a complex shape such as a welded portion, thereby demonstrating excellent anti-corrosion properties.

[0100] The anticorrosion adhesive tape according to the third invention may be applied to an adherend, and then heated to, for example, 90 to 150°C, preferably 90 to 130°C, while being pressed against the adherend. By applying the tape to the adherend while being heated, the tape can be adhered to the adherend with higher adhesion and conformability, making it easier to ensure high corrosion prevention. The adhesive tape may be heated using a known heating device such as an industrial dryer. The anticorrosion pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention may be used for repair, which refers to the application of anticorrosion treatment to metal materials such as steel materials that constitute existing structures such as bridges, steel towers, viaducts, tanks, plants, piers, and pipes. [Example]

[0101] The present invention will be explained in more detail below using examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0102] [Evaluation method] In the examples and comparative examples, the anticorrosion adhesive tapes were evaluated by the following evaluation methods.

[0103] <Whether or not rust occurs during cyclic corrosion testing> As described in the specification, the presence or absence of rust in the notched area was visually confirmed in accordance with JIS K5600-7-9 (General test methods for paints - Part 7: Long-term durability of coating films - Section 9: Cyclic corrosion test method - Salt spray / dry / wet, Cycle D).

[0104] (Adhesive strength) 1. Sample Preparation Anticorrosion adhesive tapes (width 25 mm, length 100 mm) from each example and comparative example were attached to a SUS plate (width 50 mm, length 125 mm) to prepare samples for adhesive strength evaluation, and the initial adhesive strength (adhesive strength before the test) was measured using the samples for adhesive strength evaluation. In addition, a salt spray test was conducted using a separate adhesive strength evaluation sample prepared in the same manner, based on cycle D of Appendix 1 of JIS K5600-7-9. The test was conducted for 28 cycles (total of 168 hours). The adhesive strength of the adhesive strength evaluation sample after the salt spray test was then measured. 2. Adhesion measurement The adhesive strength was measured as follows using each of the adhesive strength evaluation samples before and after the test. Each adhesive strength evaluation sample was fixed to the chuck of a tensile testing machine (Tensilon Universal Material Testing Machine, manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.). Then, in an environment of 23°C and 50% RH, the anticorrosion adhesive tape was pulled for 60 mm or more at a peel angle of 180° and a speed of 300 mm / min, and the average value of the load (N) detected by the load cell was recorded and used as the adhesive strength.

[0105] (storage modulus) The storage modulus at 23°C of the adhesive layer of the anticorrosion adhesive tape was calculated by measuring the dynamic viscoelastic spectrum using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (manufactured by IT Measurement & Control Co., Ltd., product name "DVA-200") under the following conditions: shear mode: 10 Hz, strain: 0.1%, temperature range: -100°C to 100°C, and heating rate: 10°C / min.

[0106] <Difference in tensile load> The substrates used in each example and comparative example were measured using a tensile tester for the tensile load when stretched by 2.5% and the tensile load when stretched by 0.5%, and the difference between the two was calculated. The measurements were carried out in both the MD and TD directions, and the difference between the tensile load when stretched by 2.5% and the tensile load when stretched by 0.5% was calculated for each direction. The larger of the calculated differences in the tensile loads in the MD and TD directions was taken as the difference in tensile load.

[0107] <Tensile elongation at break> The substrates used to prepare the anticorrosion adhesive tapes of each Example and Comparative Example were subjected to tensile tests in both the MD and TD directions using a tensile testing machine (Tensilon Universal Material Testing Machine, manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.), and the tensile elongation at break was calculated using the following formula. Tensile elongation at break (%) = (L-L0) / L0 x 100 where L is the length of the sample at break and L0 is the length of the sample before the tensile test. The smaller of the calculated tensile elongation at break in the MD and TD directions was taken as the tensile elongation at break of the film. The conditions for measuring the tensile load and the tensile elongation at break were as follows. Dimensions and shape of substrate: 10mm wide x 80mm long strip Chuck distance: 50mm Tensile speed: 300 mm / min

[0108] <Elmendorf tear strength> Measurement was performed by the Elmendorf tear method in accordance with JIS K7128-2 (1998). Measurement was performed in both MD and TD, and the smaller value was taken as the Elmendorf tear strength (N) of the substrate.

[0109] <Practical evaluation of peeling> Anticorrosion adhesive tapes (25 mm wide, 100 mm long) from each example and comparative example were attached to a stainless steel plate (50 mm wide, 125 mm long) and cured at 23°C for 3 days to prepare samples for peeling evaluation. Water was sprayed for 5 minutes at a water pressure of 8 MPa toward the longitudinal end side of the anticorrosion adhesive tape from a spraying position diagonally above the anticorrosion adhesive tape in the peeling evaluation sample. The water spraying position was set so that the angle between the SUS plate and a line connecting the spraying position and the center of the end of the anticorrosion adhesive tape was 30°, and the position was directly above a point 5 cm horizontally away from the center of the end of the anticorrosion adhesive tape. The distance that the anticorrosive adhesive tape peeled off after the water spraying was measured and evaluated according to the following criteria. A: Peeling distance is 0 mm or more and less than 15 mm B. Peeling distance is 15 mm or more but less than 25 mm C. Peeling distance is 25 mm or more

[0110] <Weather resistance (gloss retention)> The anticorrosion adhesive tape (25 mm wide, 100 mm long) of each example and comparative example was applied, and the specular gloss of the surface of the tape was measured from the substrate side using a glossmeter (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd., product name: "IG-340"). The specular gloss was measured using a glossmeter with a 60° geometric condition in accordance with JIS K 5600-4-7. The specular gloss obtained in this measurement was designated as specular gloss A. The tape was then subjected to an accelerated weathering test for 500 hours in accordance with Cycle A of JIS K 5600-7-7. After the accelerated weathering test, the specular gloss of the substrate of the tape was measured using the same method as that used before the test. The specular gloss obtained in the measurement after the test was designated as specular gloss B. The gloss retention of the tape substrate was calculated from the two specular gloss values obtained as described above. The formula for calculating the gloss retention is as follows: Gloss retention rate (%) = (Specular gloss B / Specular gloss A) x 100 A: Gloss retention rate of 90% or more B: Gloss retention is 80% or more but less than 90% C. Gloss retention is less than 80%

[0111] <Practical evaluation of convex part tracking ability> The convex portion followability was evaluated according to the following procedures 1. to 4. 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the anticorrosive adhesive tape 10 was attached to the adherend surface 20A of an L-shaped SUS plate 20 so that the height h from the corner and the width t were 2 mm. 2. A squeegee was pressed against the portion of the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 that was not attached to the L-shaped SUS plate 20 . 3. After the pressing in 2 above, the height h was measured and visual inspection was performed to determine whether or not tears had occurred in the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10. If tears had occurred in the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10 during the pressing, the height h was recorded as 2 mm. 4. Based on the measured value of the height h obtained in 3 above, the convex portion followability of the anticorrosive pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: The height h was 0 mm, and no tearing occurred in the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10. C··The height h is greater than 0 mm, or a tear occurs in the anticorrosion adhesive tape 10.

[0112] <Overall rating> Based on the above three types of evaluation, "peeling," "weather resistance," and "convex portion conformability," a comprehensive evaluation was made as follows. S: All three evaluations are rated "B" or higher. A: The peeling rating is "B" or higher, and one of the remaining ratings is "C." B: The peeling rating is "B" or higher, and the remaining two ratings are "C". C: The peeling rating is C.

The presence or absence of a paint film is shown in the table.

[0114] [Example 1] A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was prepared according to the formulation shown in Table 1. Dissolved oxygen was removed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition by purging with nitrogen. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was then applied onto a film (Vegetalon).
