[0016] Examples of the acrylic adhesive base include homopolymers and copolymers of (meth)acrylic monomers such as (meth)acrylic acid, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, methyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, and hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, and more specific examples include DURO-TAK 87-2097, 87-2194, 87-2196, 87-2287, 87-2516, 87-2852, 87-4287, and 87-900A (trade names, manufactured by Henkel), and MAS811 and MAS683 (trade names, manufactured by Cosmedy Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). These acrylic adhesive bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0017] Examples of the polyurethane adhesive base include aliphatic polyurethane adhesive bases and aromatic polyurethane adhesive bases. These polyurethane adhesive bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0018] Examples of the silicone-based adhesive base include adhesive bases whose main component is silicone rubber such as polydimethylsiloxane, polymethylvinylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane, and more specific examples include BIO-PSA X7-4201, BIO-PSA 7-4102, BIO-PSA 7-4202, BIO-PSA 7-4302, BIO-PSA Q7-4501, 360Medical fluid 1000CS, and MDX4-4210 (trade names, manufactured by DuPont-Toray Specialty Materials Co., Ltd.). These silicone-based adhesive bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0019] Examples of the hydrogels made of aqueous polymers include those containing, as the main component, gelatin, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyacrylic acid, neutralized polyacrylic acid, etc. These hydrogels may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0020] The content of such adhesive base agent is preferably 15 to 35% by mass, more preferably 20 to 30% by mass, and even more preferably 26 to 30% by mass, of the entire adhesive layer. If the content of adhesive base agent is less than the lower limit, the cohesive strength of the adhesive layer tends to decrease, whereas if it exceeds the upper limit, the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer tends to decrease.

[0021] The terpene resin (A) used in the present invention acts as a tackifier. Examples of such terpene resins (A) include terpene resins (terpene homopolymers), aromatic modified terpene resins, terpene phenol resins, and hydrogenated terpene phenol resins. Among the terpene resins (A), terpene resins are preferred because they provide excellent adhesion stability and re-adhesion of the adhesive layer to the cheek, and further suppress pain during removal and stickiness after removal.

[0022] In the present invention, the content of the terpene resin (A) must be within the range of 6 to 18% by mass of the entire pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. If the content of component (A) is less than the lower limit, the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer will decrease. On the other hand, if the content of component (A) exceeds the upper limit, pain will occur when removing the mask and stickiness will occur after removal. From the viewpoint of improving the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the lower limit of the content of component (A) is preferably 8% by mass or more, and more preferably 12% by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of reliably suppressing pain when removing the mask and stickiness after removal, the upper limit of the content of component (A) is preferably 16% by mass or less, and more preferably 13.5% by mass or less.

[0023] The hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester (B) used in the present invention is a solid resin obtained by hydrogenating rosin and esterifying it with glycerin, and acts as a tackifier.

[0024] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the content of the (B) hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester to the content of the (A) terpene resin needs to be in the range of B / A = 0.6 to 3.0. If the mass ratio [B / A] of component (B) to component (A) is less than the lower limit, pain occurs when removing the mask and stickiness occurs after removal. On the other hand, if the mass ratio [B / A] of component (B) to component (A) is greater than the upper limit, the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are reduced. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reliably suppressing pain when removing the mask and stickiness after removal, the lower limit of the mass ratio [B / A] is preferably B / A = 0.69 or more, and more preferably B / A = 1.00 or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the upper limit of the mass ratio [B / A] is preferably B / A = 2.38 or less, and more preferably B / A = 1.25 or less.

[0025] In the present invention, the total content of the (A) terpene resin and the (B) hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester must be within the range of 20 to 35% by mass of the entire pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. If the total content of components (A) and (B) is less than the lower limit, the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer decrease. On the other hand, if the total content of components (A) and (B) exceeds the upper limit, pain occurs when removing the mask and stickiness occurs after removal. From the viewpoint of improving the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the lower limit of the total content of components (A) and (B) is preferably 21% by mass or more, and more preferably 24% by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of reliably suppressing pain when removing the mask and stickiness after removal, the upper limit of the total content of components (A) and (B) is preferably 34% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

[0026] Furthermore, the liquid paraffin (C) used in the present invention acts as a plasticizer. The liquid paraffin (C) has a viscosity of 34.5 to 150 mmHg at 40°C, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and reliably suppressing the occurrence of pain when removing the mask and stickiness after removal. 2 Liquid paraffin, which is / s, is preferred.

[0027] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the content of the (C) liquid paraffin to the total content of the (A) terpene resin and the (B) hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester must be in the range of C / (A+B) = 1.0 to 3.0. If the mass ratio of component (C) to the total content of components (A) and (B) [C / (A+B)] is less than the lower limit, pain occurs when removing the mask and stickiness occurs after removal. On the other hand, if the mass ratio of component (C) to the total content of components (A) and (B) [C / (A+B)] exceeds the upper limit, the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer decrease. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reliably suppressing pain when removing the mask and stickiness after removal, the lower limit of the mass ratio [C / (A+B)] is preferably 1.2 or more, and more preferably 1.5 or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the upper limit of the mass ratio [C / (A+B)] is preferably C / (A+B)=2.5 or less, and more preferably C / (A+B)=2.0 or less.

[0028] Furthermore, in the present invention, such a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may further contain various additives such as a tackifying resin other than a terpene resin and a hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester (e.g., an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon resin), a solubilizing agent, a moisturizing agent, a stabilizer, an inorganic powder, a colorant, a flavoring agent, a pH adjuster, etc., within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0029] The mask of the present invention has such an adhesive layer provided on the inner surface of a mask fabric. In addition, in the mask of the present invention, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 1 is provided on the inner surface of both left and right ends of the mask fabric 2, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0030] In the mask of the present invention, the size of the adhesive layer is preferably such that the longitudinal length is within the range of 2 to 10 cm, more preferably within the range of 3 to 9 cm, and particularly preferably within the range of 4 to 8 cm, and the width is preferably within the range of 0.5 to 3 cm, more preferably within the range of 0.8 to 2.5 cm, and particularly preferably within the range of 1 to 2 cm. If the longitudinal length or width of the adhesive layer is below the lower limit, sufficient adhesive strength is not obtained, and the mask tends to fall off the face during use. On the other hand, if it exceeds the upper limit, the size of the mask fabric becomes large, and pain tends to occur when removing the mask. In this invention, the longitudinal length of the adhesive layer refers to the length parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mask (the vertical direction of the mask), and the width of the adhesive layer refers to the length perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the mask (the vertical direction of the mask). For example, in the masks shown in Figures 1 and 2, L is the longitudinal length of the adhesive layer and W is the width of the adhesive layer. In addition, when the length of the adhesive layer in the vertical direction is not constant, as in the mask shown in FIG. 1, the length of the longest part of the adhesive layer in the vertical direction is defined as the length L of the adhesive layer in the vertical direction.

[0031] In the mask of the present invention, the mass of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as it is an amount that can ensure adhesive strength. However, it is preferable that the mass per unit area of ​​the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer is 160 to 240 g / m. 2 It is preferable that the thickness is in the range of 180 to 220 g / m 2 It is more preferable that the temperature is in the range of

[0032] The mask base fabric is not particularly limited, and known mask base fabrics used for masks to prevent the intrusion of dust, dirt, house dust such as mites, pollen, mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. can be used. Examples of materials for such mask base fabrics include polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene; polyvinyls such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer, and polyvinyl chloride; polyamides; polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate; cellulose derivatives; and synthetic resins such as polyurethane. Examples of the form of such mask base fabrics include breathable films and sheets such as porous films and porous sheets; fabrics such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics; and laminates thereof. In the mask of the present invention, such base fabrics may be used alone or in a combination of two or more layers. When two or more layers are used in a combination, base fabrics made of the same material may be used, or base fabrics made of different materials may be used in combination. Furthermore, a structure in which a functional sheet such as a sheet incorporating a virus droplet collection filter is sandwiched between two base fabrics may be formed.

[0033] When the mask fabric of the present invention is a nonwoven fabric, the basis weight of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 80 to 150 g / m, from the viewpoint that the adhesive layer can be spread without seeping out to the back side of the fabric and the anchoring property between the fabric and the adhesive layer can be maintained. 2 is preferred, and 95 to 125 g / m 2The thickness of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 0.50 to 0.70 mm. The strength of the nonwoven fabric at 50% elongation is preferably 1.0 N / 50 mm to 4.0 N / 50 mm in the longitudinal direction of the mask, and preferably 6.5 N / 50 mm to 21.0 N / 50 mm in the transverse direction of the mask. The tensile strength of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 30 N / 50 mm to 60 N / 50 mm in the longitudinal direction of the mask, and preferably 80 N / 50 mm to 180 N / 50 mm in the transverse direction of the mask. The elongation of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 120% to 400% in the longitudinal direction of the mask, and preferably 100% to 160% in the transverse direction of the mask. In the present invention, the longitudinal direction of the mask refers to the vertical direction of the mask as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and the transverse direction of the mask refers to the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction of the mask as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the mask of the present invention may be provided with a liner on the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer to protect the adhesive layer. This liner is peeled off when the mask is used. Such a liner is not particularly limited as long as it can protect the adhesive layer, and examples thereof include polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene; polyvinyls such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer, and polyvinyl chloride; polyamides; polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate; cellulose derivatives; synthetic resins such as polyurethane; films and sheets made of materials such as aluminum and paper, and laminates thereof. It is preferable that such a liner has been subjected to a release treatment, such as a silicone-containing compound coating or a fluorine-containing compound coating, on the surface that comes into contact with the adhesive layer so that it can be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer.

[0035] The mask of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following method: First, the components constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are uniformly mixed and / or dissolved using a stirrer to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing the components in a predetermined ratio.

[0036] Next, the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is spread on the surface of a liner to a desired mass per unit area to form the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and then the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached to the inner surface of the mask fabric, thereby obtaining the mask of the present invention. In this case, the mask fabric may be cut into a desired shape beforehand and then the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached, or the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be attached to the mask fabric and then cut into a desired shape.

[0037] The mask of the present invention can also be produced by spreading the PSA composition on the inner surface of the mask fabric to a desired mass per unit area to form the PSA layer, and then laminating the liner onto the surface of the PSA layer. In this case, the PSA layer may be formed on the surface of the mask fabric that has been cut into a desired shape in advance, or the liner may be laminated and then cut into the desired shape. [Example]

[0038] The present invention will be described in more detail below based on examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples. Various performance evaluation tests of the masks produced in the examples and comparative examples were carried out by the following methods.

The state of adhesion of the adhesive layer to the cheeks was then checked at specified intervals and evaluated according to the following criteria, and the average score for adhesion stability evaluated by the four subjects was calculated. 5: The adhesive layer did not peel off. 4: Only the edge of the adhesive layer is peeled off. 3: 1 / 3 of the adhesive layer peeled off. 2: Half of the adhesive layer peeled off. 1: The mask falls off the face.

[0040] After 4 hours of wearing the mask, the subjects removed the mask. The pain felt on the cheeks and the stickiness felt on the cheeks after removal were checked and evaluated according to the following criteria, and the average scores of the four subjects' evaluations of pain and stickiness upon removal were calculated. (pain) 5: No pain. 4: Almost no pain. 3: Slight pain. 2: Painful. 1: Severe pain. (sticky) 5: No stickiness. 4: Almost no stickiness. 3: Slightly sticky. 2: Sticky. 1: Significant stickiness.

[0041] <Test 2> First, the masks prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were attached to the cheeks of the subjects, and the subjects wore them on their faces. After 15 minutes had passed since wearing the masks, the state of adhesion of the adhesive layer to the cheeks was checked, and the masks were then removed. The state of adhesion of the adhesive layer was evaluated according to the following criteria, and the average score of the adhesion evaluation by the four subjects was calculated.

[0042] Next, the removed mask was again attached to the cheeks with the adhesive layer attached to the cheeks, and the subject put it on their face. 30 minutes after first wearing the mask, the state of adhesion of the adhesive layer to the cheeks was checked, and the mask was then removed. The adhesive state of the checked adhesive layer was evaluated according to the following criteria, and an average score for the re-adhesion evaluation by the four subjects was calculated. Thereafter, the mask was worn, the state of adhesion of the adhesive layer was checked, and the mask was removed repeatedly at predetermined intervals, and an average score for the re-adhesion evaluation by the four subjects was calculated. 5: The adhesive layer did not peel off. 4: Only the edge of the adhesive layer is peeled off. 3: 1 / 3 of the adhesive layer peeled off. 2: Half of the adhesive layer peeled off. 1: The mask falls off the face.

[0043] Example 1 The components constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer shown in Table 1 were weighed out so as to obtain the composition shown in the same table, and mixed using a stirrer at 160 to 200°C until uniform, to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. This pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was applied to the surface of a liner (a release-treated polyester film, width: 36 cm) at a rate of 200 g / m 2 After spreading the adhesive layer to form a sheet, it was cut into a size of 7.2 cm length x 1.5 cm width, and this adhesive layer was attached to both the left and right ends of the inner surface of a mask base fabric (nonwoven fabric made of polypropylene resin) to produce a mask with the shape shown in Figure 1. The obtained mask was subjected to the above-mentioned tests 1 and 2 to evaluate various performances of the mask. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0044] The following commercially available components were used: Styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer ("SIS5002" manufactured by JSR Corporation). Polyisobutylene (BASF "Oppanol B12SFN"). -Terpene resin (Yasuhara Chemical Co., Ltd.'s "YS Resin PX1150N"). -Hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester ("KE-311E" manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd.). Liquid paraffin ("Hicol M-352" manufactured by Kaneda Co., Ltd.).

[0045] [Table 1]

[0046] As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, by blending (A) terpene resin, (B) hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester, and (C) liquid paraffin so that the content of component (A), the mass ratio of components (A) to (B) [B / A], the total content of components (A) and (B), and the mass ratio of component (C) to the total content of components (A) and (B) [C / (A+B)] are within the specified ranges, it was confirmed that a mask having an adhesive layer that is free from pain when removed and stickiness after removal, and has excellent adhesion stability and re-adhesion can be obtained (Examples 1 to 4).

[0047] On the other hand, when the content of component (A) was low and the mass ratio of components (A) to (B) [B / A] was high, no pain was felt during removal or stickiness after removal was observed, but it was confirmed that the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer were reduced (Comparative Examples 1 and 2).On the other hand, when the content of component (A) was high and the mass ratio of components (A) to (B) [B / A] was low, it was confirmed that pain was felt during removal and stickiness after removal occurred, although the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer were excellent (Comparative Examples 3 and 4).

[0048] Furthermore, when the total content of components (A) and (B) was low and the mass ratio of component (C) to the total content of components (A) and (B) [C / (A+B)] was high, no pain was felt during removal or stickiness after removal was observed, but it was confirmed that the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer were reduced (Comparative Example 5).On the other hand, when the total content of components (A) and (B) was high and the mass ratio of component (C) to the total content of components (A) and (B) [C / (A+B)] was low, it was confirmed that the adhesive stability and re-adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer were excellent, but pain was felt during removal and stickiness after removal occurred (Comparative Example 6). [Industrial Applicability]

[0049] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to form an adhesive layer that has excellent adhesion stability and re-adhesion to the cheek, and further that suppresses the occurrence of pain when removing the adhesive layer and stickiness after removal.

[0050] Therefore, the mask of the present invention has excellent adhesion stability and re-adhesion, and is equipped with an adhesive layer that is less likely to cause pain when removed or stickiness after removal, making it useful as a mask that does not have ear loops and is worn by attaching the adhesive part to the cheek.
