NOVELTY - A surface protective film (1) for transparent conductive films (2) protecting surface of side opposite to conductive thin film or surface on side of conductive thin film of the transparent conductive film, comprises adhesive layer (1b) that is formed on one side of a base material film (1a).    USE - The surface protective film is for transparent conductive films protecting surface of side opposite to conductive thin film or surface on side of conductive thin film of the transparent conductive film (claimed). The transparent conductive films are used in field of transparent electrode, such as LCD, touch panels, sensors and solar cells.    ADVANTAGE - The surface protective film prevents large curling for the transparent conductive films in heating process at 150degreesC. A rate of thermal shrinkage after being heated at 150degreesC for 1 hour shows not more than 0.9% in both machine direction and width direction.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (a) a transparent conductive film with surface protective film, where a conductive thin film is formed on one side of a base material film and a hard coat layer (2c) or an anti-glare layer is formed on the other surface side, and simultaneously an adhesive layer of the surface protective film for transparent conductive films is attached on a surface of the hard coat layer or the anti-glare layer, or the surface of conductive thin film; and    (b) manufacture of a surface protective film for transparent conductive films where after an adhesive is applied to one side of a base material film, a drawing tension of not more than 80 N per width of l m of the base material film is applied under 100-150degreesC, and a residence time of 20-120 seconds, and thus a treatment for removing a residual stress and simultaneous drying of the adhesive are performed.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a sectional view showing a surface protective film for transparent conductive film.
