A paint film-protecting sheet () is provided which effectively prevents adhesive transfer to the paint film. The paint film-protecting sheet () has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer which is comprised of a non-crosslinking pressure-sensitive adhesive () adjacent a polyolefin-based resin film serving as a supporting substrate (). At least a surface portion () of the supporting substrate that adjoins the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer satisfies the following conditions: (1) it has an indentation modulus at 25&#xb0; C. (Er) of from 200 MPa to 1,100 MPa and (2) it has an indentation modulus at &#x2212;5&#xb0; C. (Er) of from 400 MPa to 2,400 MPa.

Paint film-protecting sheet

A paint film-protecting sheet () that effectively prevents adhesive transfer to the paint film is provided. The paint film-protecting sheet () includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) layer (), which is comprised of a non-crosslinking PSA, disposed on a polyolefin-based resin film serving as a supporting substrate (). At least a surface portion () of the supporting substrate which adjoins the PSA layer is formed of a resin material that satisfies both of the following conditions: (1) it contains W wt % of a LLDPE having a density d of 0.925 g/cmor less, wherein W is greater than or equal to 20; and (2) it has a LLDPE content index &#x3b1; of 400 or more, the LLDPE content index &#x3b1; being defined as (0.935&#x2212;d)&#xd7;W&#xd7;1000.
