A method of removing a backing layer from a panel, made of an uncured pre-impregnated fiber-reinforced polymer, comprises a step of orienting the panel into a backing-separation orientation relative to an edge-engagement tool. The method also comprises a step of positioning the panel into a backing-separation position relative to the edge-engagement tool. The method further comprises a step of moving the edge-engagement tool, when the panel is in the backing-separation orientation and the backing-separation position, so that backing-engagement features of the edge-engagement tool engage the backing layer, at only an edge portion of the backing layer, and just the edge portion of the backing layer separates from the panel. The method additionally comprises a step of gripping the edge portion of the backing layer, and, when gripped, moving the backing layer relative to the panel so that an entirety of the backing layer separates from the panel.

Provided are a method of producing a metal member, a method of producing a resin member, and a method of producing an exterior part of a vehicle, each using a laminated body including a paint substitute film that includes a thermoplastic resin film, a colored layer, and a semi-cured hard coat layer, in this order, and a protective film that is bonded to a surface of the semi-cured hard coat layer. (1) The method of producing a metal member uses a steel plate together with the laminated body, and includes: a molding step of performing thermocompression bonding on the laminated body and the heated steel plate and performing press-molding while curing the semi-cured hard coat layer. (2) The method of producing a resin member uses a molten resin together with the laminated body, and includes: inserting the laminated body into a mold; performing in-mold molding by performing injection-molding using the molten resin; and curing the semi-cured hard coat layer after the insertion into the mold and until the in-mold molding ends. (3) The method of producing an exterior part of a vehicle includes combining the metal member produced by the above-described method, and the resin member produced by the above-described method.

A method for producing a multilayer film including at least two layers joined by a two-component adhesive includes the following steps: spreading a first component A of a two-component adhesive on a first face of a first layer of film; spreading a second component B of the two-component adhesive on a first face of a second layer of film; bringing the first and second faces of the first and second layers into mutual contact joining the components and to form an adhesive and join the two layers in a multilayer film; and winding the multilayer film obtained.

Layers of a recyclable packaging material can include a first layer of, or including, oriented polyethylene; a second layer of, or including, oriented polyethylene; a tie layer disposed between and joining the first layer and the second layer to one another; an ink layer printed onto at least a portion of at least one of an inner surface of the first layer or an outer surface of the first layer; a metallic barrier layer on at least a portion of at least one of the first and second layers; and an adhesive layer on at least a portion of an outer surface of the second layer and at least partially defining an exterior surface of the recyclable packaging material. A cold seal release coating can be on at least a portion of at least one of the ink layer or the outer surface of the first layer.

A cutting device includes a drum section that rotates to convey a continuous body, and a cutting section that cuts the continuous body into multiple individual works. The drum section includes multiple holding heads that move while holding the respective works. The cutting section includes a cutter unit that moves together with multiple holding heads and that is smaller in number than the holding heads, and a cutter drive unit that moves the cutter unit independently of multiple holding heads. The cutter unit moves alongside of the continuous body from a certain cutting start position to cut the continuous body. The cutter drive unit returns the cutter unit that has cut the continuous body, to the cutting start position.

A laminate tube container is made of laminate film or sheet comprising of a vapor metalizing polyethylene film with a vapor evaporated side made of a metal, metal-oxide or inorganic substance, which is adhesive-laminated on the evaporate side with polyethylene film and an adhesive agent then laminated with other extrusion layers of polyethylene, tie and copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol. The laminated tube giving both oxygen and water vapor barrier characteristics making them suitable for packaging tube particularly filled with contents, such as liquid or creamy cosmetic products and toothpastes.

A substrate bonding method which enables forming a precision fine space using a method that is simpler and easier than conventional methods; and a laminated body production method that uses the substrate bonding method. This substrate bonding method includes disposing a first substrate on a photoresist pattern formed on a support film so as to bring the first substrate into contact with a surface of the photoresist pattern located on the side opposite to the support film, and pressure-bonding the support film, the photoresist pattern, and the first substrate; releasing the bonded support film after the pressure-bonding; and disposing a second substrate on the photoresist pattern so as to bring the second substrate into contact with the surface of the photoresist pattern located on the side opposite to the first substrate, and pressure-bonding the first substrate, the photoresist pattern, and the second substrate.
