Patent ID: 7396868

Claim:
An aqueous dispersion type pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which consists essentially of a polyalkylene glycol having a weight-average molecular weight of from 450,000 to 1,000,000 in an amount of from 0.5 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight, on a solid basis, of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the aqueous dispersion type containing an acrylic polymer having a glass transition point of −20° C. or lower and a weight-average molecular weight of at least 200,000, whereby the polyalkylene glycol is incorporated into the composition in the form of an aqueous solution after the polymerization of the acrylic polymer and wherein the aqueous dispersion type pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has a property that when a pressure-sensitive adhesive product having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed from the aqueous dispersion type pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is produced, the dewy or wet surface adhesive force thereof is 0.5 N/18 mm or more.
