what chemical removes adhesive from lexan?

[gabagoo]

anyone know what to use?

 

[ASSI Inc.]

have you tried mineral spirits?

 

[Gino]

What kind of adhesive ??

 

[gabagoo]

old 3ml vinyl!!!!!

 

[Gino]

Denatured alcohol, but quickly. It can eat into lexan if left go too long.

butyl cellosolve works great on sensitive material. can't etch the part but turns adhesive into rolly polly rubber dots.

That stuff will give you health problems if not used in a well ventilated area.

 

[Mosh]

I se that stuff all the time.

Have not seen kerosene in years, use to have a kerosene heater in my room as a kid and bought a gallon for 25 cents from a big hand crank container at the gas station.

Barry, I've never had much luck with being able to re-use old lexan after removing the vinyl, is this a cheap customer, or is there another reason for this?

Decided to toss the piece as the old graphics were a knockout and the glue is everywhere.

Gonna just buy a 4x8 piece and yes the customer is a tight %$%#...but I am doing the work for a broker so, he can pay for the new plexi lol

wd-40 will work too. A little slower but it is at least safe on the plastics.

you can use NAPTHA..... any paint store should have it.... it will not eat into the lexan..

while you are using it, add a little motor oil to it..... slows down the evaporation....

it will take a little while, but it does work well..... to remove the oily residue after

you have cleaned it... wipe it down with just the naptha.....

We've tried them all and this is the best stuff we have ever found for removing adhesive.

Plastic razor blades are mighty handy as well.

The main solvent in WD-40 that is mixed with the oil is kerosene.

Really?

Yes.
