Use of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for optical applications

An adhesive tape comprising a layer of a pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive comprising a polymer component and three additives, the polymer component being formed of one or more copolymers based on the following monomers:

• a) 5 to 35 wt % of one or more hydroxyl-containing monomers with a copolymerizable double bond,
• b) 0 to 50 wt % of one or more acrylate and/or methacrylate monomers with in each case at least one amide group, urethane group, urea group, carboxylic anhydride unit and/or ethylene glycol unit,
• c) 15 to 95 wt % of an alkyl (meth)acrylate, the alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms,
• wherein the pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive has been admixed with:
• one or more 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl) derivatives as a first additive,
• one or more [[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl)methyl]alkylmalonate derivatives as a second additive, and
• N-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-N′-(2-ethylphenyl) ethanediamide as a third additive.
