The present invention provides a pressure sensitive adhesive composition
for optical members, which is excellent in durability, re-releasability
and stress relaxation, as well as a pressure sensitive adhesive
composition for optical members, which hardly increases adhesion after
storage for a long time and does not leave a residual adhesive on glass
upon disposal or repair. The pressure sensitive adhesive composition for
optical members according to the present invention comprises 100 parts by
weight of an acrylic polymer (A) having a weight-average molecular weight
of 500,000 or more, containing at least 50 wt % alkyl (meth)acrylate
having an alkyl group with 5 or more carbon atoms and 0.2 to 2 wt %
unsaturated carboxylic acid as the monomer unit, 0.1 to 4 parts by weight
of an acrylic polymer (B) having a weight-average molecular weight of
2,000 to 50,000, containing at least 70 wt % alkyl(meth)acrylate and 1 to
7 wt % unsaturated carboxylic acid as the monomer unit and having a
higher carboxylic acid equivalent than that of the acrylic polymer (A),
0.01 to 1 part by weight of a silane coupling agent, and a crosslinking
agent.
