Sheet for protecting paint films of automobiles

Abstract

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.
