Sheets for protecting paint films of automobiles which can adhere with no wrinkle to paint films of automobiles and cover the same, even in curved surface portions, at a high reliability while achieving excellent protection function to colliding matters, etc. (i.e., the inherent function of protecting sheets) and being easily peeled and removed after completion of the aimed protection, thus preventing the permeation of rainwater, etc. and protecting the paint films of automobiles from being damaged by denaturation, etc. Such a sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles comprises a support () comprising a polymer film () having a nonwoven fabric () laminated on one or both surfaces thereof, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer () formed on one surface of the polymer film, wherein the non-woven fabric has a basic weight of 5 to 100 g/m.

Sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles

A sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles which can prevent the paint film of automobiles from suffering from damages such as discoloration and denaturation even if rainwater or washer penetrates into the gap between the adhesive cover and the paint film while achieving excellent protection function to suspended matters, colliding matters, etc. inherent to protecting sheets and being easily peeled off and removed after completion of the desired protection. The sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a roughened surface provided on a substrate made of fiber sheet. Even when rainwater, washer, etc. penetrates into the gap between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the paint film of automobiles from wrinkles formed thereon, the liquid diffuses by capillary action through the gap developed by the roughened pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, making it possible to avoid the residence and concentration of the penetrated dirty water and hence prevent the occurrence of damages such as discoloration and denaturation of the paint film. Further, the arrangement of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a roughened surface reflecting the fiber constituting the protecting sheet, particularly a fibrous continuous roughened surface, makes it possible to further diffuse the contaminating dirty water and hence further avoid the retention and concentration of the penetrated dirty water. Thus, the damages on the paint film can be more securely prevented.

A sheet for protecting a paint film which does not deteriorate or discolor the paint film even when the sheet is adhered to protect the paint film under the condition containing acidic rainwater or detergent and can maintain the adhered state over an extended-period of time without peeling off is disclosed. The sheet for protecting a paint film comprises a porous substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface of the porous substrate. The sheet has an air permeability in a direction of sheet thickness of 20,000 sec/100 cc or more and a moisture permeability in a direction of sheet thickness of 2,000 g/m &middot;24 hr or more. The sheet for protecting a paint film further comprises a porous substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface of the porous substrate, wherein the porous substrate has an ultraviolet transmission of 10% or less at a wavelength of from 190 to 370 nm.

A sheet for protecting a paint film is disclosed, which does not cause deterioration or discoloration the paint film even when the sheet is adhered to protect the paint film under the condition containing water or water vapor over a long period of time and thus can maintain the adhered state without peeled off the sheet. The sheet for protecting a paint film comprises a multi-layer substrate comprising a water or water vapor barrier layer as a surface layer and a water or water vapor-permeable layer as a back, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the water or water vapor-permeable layer.

A sheet for protecting paint film comprising a support having formed thereon a rubber adhesive layer comprising an isobutylene polymer having a degree of dispersion of from 1 to 2.3 and a weight average molecular weight of 300,000 to 600,000 (the domain A in the FIGURE) as the base polymer. The paint film protecting sheet has the compatibility of the prevention of the occurrence of a microdeformation and a good peelability. That is, when an article such as automobiles having a paint film applied with the protecting sheet is placed outdoors for a long period of time at high temperature, the paint film is hard to deform and the sheet can be easily peeled even after adhering for a long period of time.

A sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles for adhering to the incompletely cured paint films of automobiles comprising two pack urethane paint, the sheet comprising a support and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed thereon, wherein the sheet has a Young's modulus E of at least 75 N/mm.sup.2 and a coefficient of flexural stress k represented by the formula k=Eh.sup.3 wherein h is a thickness of the support, of 0.035 or less. The protective sheet can uniformly protect the paint films and easily be peeled and removed therefrom without causing environmental problems and adhesive remaining of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Even when the sheet is adhered to incompletely cured paint films of automobiles and they are allowed to stand for a long period of time under an outside high temperature in summer, the sheet does not cause the deformation of the paint film and the microdeformations by the deformation of the paint film at the edge portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The protective sheet can be reserved in a roll state without causing the change of form by, for example, a telescope phenomenon.

A process for polymerizing acrylic monomers is disclosed. The process involves providing a reactor which is generally in the shape of a screw type reactor having temperature control means thereon. The reactor is continually charged with a supply of acrylic monomers having a viscosity of 10 poises or less at ordinary temperature. The acrylic monomers are continually moved through the reactor by turning of the screw within the reactor in order to cause the acrylic monomers to continually contact renewed surfaces within the reactor. The temperature in the reactor is controlled within two or more zones within the reactor in order to increase the viscosity of the acrylic monomers in the reactor by rapid polymerization within an initial area and then allow polymerization to proceed to one or more additional areas in the reactor to a prescribed rate of conversion. Polymerized product is continuously removed from the reactor.
