A temporary
adhesive for which temporary adhesion and subsequent detachment are simple. The temporary
adhesive composition includes: (A) an organopolysiloxane having a weight-average molecular weight of at least 15,000, obtained by a
hydrosilylation reaction between (A1) and (A2) described below, and (B) an
organic solvent having a
boiling point of not more than 220° C., wherein (A1) is an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having a weight-average molecular weight exceeding 2,000, comprising 35 to 99 mol % of T
siloxane units and 1 to 25 mol % of M
siloxane units, and in which alkenyl groups bonded to
silicon atoms represent at least 2 mol % of all the organic groups bonded to
silicon atoms, and (A2) is a specific organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two
silicon atom-bonded
hydrogen atoms or a specific hydrosilyl group-containing compound.
