To provide a thermal releasable protective tape for sliding, which exhibits excellent sliding properties without detaching during use from an adherend, is capable of being easily removed from the adherend merely by applying heat, when removing the tape during a replacement operation or the like after use.

A thermally releasable protective tape for sliding has a substrate 1 and a thermal-expansion adhesive layer 3 containing thermally expandable microspheres and positioned on one surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate 1 comprises a fluororesin film.
