To provide a heat-expandable removable pressure-sensitive
adhesive tape that maintains a high normal
adhesive strength during bonding as well as can be readily separated or debonded by heat for separation or debonding even after the storage or use for a long time, regardless of an adherend type. The heat-expandable removable pressure-sensitive
adhesive tape of the present invention includes at least a
blowing agent-containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer A, a
microparticle-containing viscoelastic substrate B, a peelable or peel-assisting film layer C, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer D. A multilayer structure containing at least the peelable or peel-assisting film layer C and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer D is arranged on at least one side of the
blowing agent-containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer A where the
blowing agent-containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer A is in direct contact with the peelable or peel-assisting film layer C. The peelable or peel-assisting film layer C can be removed from the blowing agent-containing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer A by heat treatment after storage in an
atmosphere of 75 DEG C for 8 weeks.
