Embodiments of the inventive concept described herein relate to an apparatus and method for removing an adhesive exposed to the outside from an object being processed. The apparatus for removing the adhesive exposed to the outside from an edge region of the object being processed, in which the object has a patterned substrate and a support plate bonded together by the adhesive, The cover liquid nozzle dispenses the cover liquid onto a cover area of a top surface of the object other than the exposed area, and the controller controls the cover liquid dispensing member to adjust a flow rate of the cover liquid to cause a removal rate of the adhesive to remain constant.

Disclosed are a display device and a method for manufacturing a cover thereof. A method for manufacturing a cover of a display device comprises: (a) a step in which a BM printing layer is formed on the front surface of a transparent film, and a release film is attached thereto; (b) a step in which the release film is cut along the BM printing layer; (c) a step in which the release film attached to the front surface of the transparent film is removed; (d) a step in which an abrasion-resistant coating layer is formed on the front surface of the transparent film; and (e) a step in which the release film attached to the BM printing layer is removed.

A disassembling device facilitating a gentle disassembly of components glued together includes a base, a heating plate, a moving member, and a vacuum suction assembly. The disassembling device disassembles and separates portions of an electronic device for post-manufacture analysis or other purposes. The electronic device can disassemble glued parts with speed and high efficiency. By applying suction and sufficient heating to glued-together portions of the electronic device, damages to the electronic device can be avoided.

Floor panels have coupling parts in the form of a tongue and groove with locking surfaces. In a coupled state of two such panels, an open space is present, viewed vertically, between the tongue and the lower lip, and viewed horizontally, between the contact zone and the contact between the horizontally active locking surfaces. The underside of the tongue in the open space comprises a first face. The top side of the lower lip in the open space comprises a second face parallel to the first face. In the coupled state of two such panels, at least one face is perpendicular to the panel and intersects both the first face of the first coupled panel and the second plane of the panel coupled to the first panel.

A method for producing pigments having a specified contour, comprises the steps of creating a pigment layer on a starting substrate; detaching from the starting substrate; and structuring the pigment layer into a plurality of the pigments; characterized by bringing into contact the pigment layer with an intermediate substrate, wherein the pigment layer adheres at least in sections to the intermediate substrate; and separating intermediate substrate and starting substrate.

The present invention relates to a recycling process for a laminate and a solution used in such a process. The present invention finds particular application in the removal of an adhered overlay from an underlying substrate material such as plastic. The process includes subjecting the laminate to an impact frictional striking force, thereby substantially separating the substrate layer from the one or more surface layers of the overlay and then washing the substrate layer with a washing solution to remove the remaining surface layers of the overlay and glue from the substrate layer. The washing solution may be an aqueous solution including a surfactant, a solvent and a base.

A method is described for debonding a bonded article. The bonded article comprises at least two components which are bonded to one another by means of a polyurethane adhesive selected from aqueous polyurethane dispersion adhesives and polyurethane hotmelt adhesives. At least one of the components is a thermoplastic polyurethane. The components are debonded by treatment with an aqueous surfactant composition at elevated temperatures.

A solar panel disassembling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure separates a glass plate of a solar panel and a film layer bonded to the glass plate from each other. The solar panel disassembling apparatus includes a supply module that stands and fixes the solar panel such that a bond line between the glass plate and the film layer is exposed upward and downward and that moves the solar panel in a parallel direction parallel to a bonding surface between the glass plate and the film layer, and a wire-shaped cutting blade that is disposed in front of the solar panel in a movement direction of the solar panel to have a distance from the supply module, is disposed in parallel to the bonding surface, and separates the glass plate and the film layer from each other.

After molding a substrate located between first and second molds of a molding system, a used release film that is in contact with the substrate during molding is removed from the molding system with a gripper assembly, which is reciprocally movable between a retracted position outside the molding system and an extended position in a space between the first and second molds when the first and second molds are opened. A carriage mechanism on which the gripper assembly is mounted moves the gripper assembly towards the first or second mold until the gripper assembly contacts the used release film, before an actuator actuates the gripper assembly to clamp onto a part of the used release film. The carriage mechanism also conveys the gripper assembly away from the first mold or second mold to remove the used release film from the molding system.

Embodiments provide methods of disassembling an apparel product. The methods include exposing an adhesive of the apparel product to heat or electromagnetic energy. The adhesive is disposed at least partially disposed between a major component and a minor component of the apparel product. The adhesive includes a shape memory material. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component with the adhesive. The methods include separating the major component from the minor component adjoined by the adhesive.
