Provided is a masking pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that is produced using a plant-derived raw material, is global environmentally-friendly, has stable adherability to adherends and its own backside, has low adhesive strength to its own backside when unwound at high speed, and has good workability (peelability). The masking pressure-sensitive adhesive tape includes a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that is provided on at least one side of the substrate and made from a polyester-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing a polyester including at least a lactic acid unit, a dibasic acid unit, and a glycol unit, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the dibasic acid unit includes a dimer acid, the polyester has a weight average molecular weight of 20,000 to 200,000 and a glass transition temperature of -70 to -20°C as measured using a differential scanning calorimeter at a temperature rise rate of 20°C/minute, the polyester has a hydroxyl value of 1 to 60 mgKOH/g, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a gel fraction of 40 to 90% by weight. |
