Flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive tape

The present invention relates to a flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having excellent tackiness and flame retardancy, a flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive tape using the composition and an electronic part or a transformer utilizing the tape. A flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having both excellent tackiness and flame retardancy is described which comprises, as flame-retardants, (A) ethylenebispentabromobiphenyl, and (B) a brominated bisphenol and (C) antimony trioxide and, as a base polymer, (D) an acrylic polymer, said flame-retardant components (A), (B) and (C), in terms of weight ratio, satisfying the following equations:andand said [(A)+(B)] being added in an amount of from 30 to 90 parts by weight and said (B) being added in an amount of 15 parts by weight or greater, each based on 100 parts by weight of the base polymer (D); and a flame-retardant pressure-sensitive adhesive tape using the composition and electronic parts or a transformer utilizing the tape are also described.
