Abstract:
A photo-reactive composition layer is formed on a support with transparency while the support is moved in one direction. Then the support is reversed in a first irradiating chamber as to be moved in a direction opposite to the one direction to generate a serpentine transport path. The support prior to reverse and the support subsequent to reverse face to each other serpentinely, and the support is irradiated with light from lamps for ultraviolet-ray emission. The entire photo-reactive composition layer on the serpentine support is photo-polymerized while the light transmits through the support and the photo-reactive composition layer formed on the support. Then photo-polymerization reaction of the photo-reactive composition layer is facilitated in a second irradiating chamber, adjacent to the first irradiating chamber, using lamps for ultraviolet-ray emission different from those used in the first irradiating chamber in property.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having an ultraviolet-ray curing-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a high conversion per unit amount of light, is excellent in productivity, and is also excellent in balance between pressure-sensitive adhesive performances. The method includes: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer forming step in which the composition is irradiated with and cured by ultraviolet rays to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; wherein an ultraviolet lamp that radiates the ultraviolet rays in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer forming step is an LED lamp; the ultraviolet rays are radiated intermittently; and the time of bright periods when the ultraviolet rays are radiated is from 1 second to 30 seconds, and the time of dark periods when the rays are not radiated is from 0.1 timed to 20 times the time of the bright periods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method in which: a photoreactive composition layer is formed on a support while conveying the support in one direction, the support is turned around at least once so that the support before turnaround faces the support after turnaround by conveying the support in the direction opposite the foregoing one direction to make a conveying route of the support multistage traveling, and in the course of multistage traveling, the support is turned around while keeping contact with three or more conveying rollers at least during the first turnaround, and light is emitted toward the support from a light irradiator to cause photopolymerization of the photoreactive composition layer formed on the support.
