Abstract

The present invention provides a mask adhesive that plastically deforms easily, no adhesive residue remains after peeling from the mask, ease of handling is excellent, and haze on a pellicle film is unlikely to be increased. A mask adhesive resolving this problem contains a thermoplastic elastomer (A) for which the temperature at which the loss tangent measured at a frequency of 1 Hz is at a maximum value is −20 to 30° C., a tackifier resin (B), and a process oil (C). The total of the proportion (% CP) of paraffin carbon and the proportion (% CN) of naphthene carbon in the process oil (C) is 50% or more. The temperature of the mask adhesive at which the loss tangent measured at a frequency of 1 Hz is at a maximum value is −10 to 30° C., and the sulfur content of the mask adhesive is 300 μg/g or less.
