Project Number 1
Test Objective:
The objective of this project is to fine an effective alternative to Startex Laquer Thinner in removing glossy adhesive from laminate.| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 05/04/2023 | To evaluate the effectiveness of several cleaners in removing adhesive from adhesive from laminate | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 1 | 05/05/2023 | To evaluate the effectiveness of several cleaners in removing adhesive from laminate. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 2 | 03/05/2024 | To see whether a microfiber towel will be able to absorb the oily film left behind from an adhesive removing product. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 3 | 03/27/2024 | To evaluate the ears of removal of adhesive using a variety of scrubbing tools | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 4 | 04/03/2024 | To evaluate the ears of removal of adhesive using a variety of scrubbing tools | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 5 | 06/25/2024 | Utilizing HSPiP target matrix to determine the solubility of hot-melt adhesive | Test showed little or no promise. |
| 6 | 06/27/2024 | Determining an effective solvent for removing hot-melt adhesive from laminate substrate | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 7 | 07/02/2024 | Evaluate the effectiveness of HSP solvent blends on removing jowat hot-melt adhesive from laminate substrate | Test incomplete or inconclusive. |
| 8 | 07/11/2024 | Evaluating the effectiveness of HSP Solvent blends compared to Toluene for the removal of hot-melt adhesive from test panels | Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended. |
| 9 | 12/05/2024 | Evaluate HSP mixture options for removing both the Jowat hot-melt adhesive and wilsonart adhesive from laminate coupons | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 10 | 03/21/2025 | Identify a cleaner/solvent that is effective at removing Conklin's two adhesive formulations | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 11 | 01/16/2025 | Evaluate the efficacy of HSP solvent blends at removing two different adhesive formulations | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 12 | 04/09/2025 | Evaluate the effectiveness of the virdivis adhesive remover formulations at removing the two adhesives utilized by the client. | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
| 13 | 04/09/2025 | Identify a cleaner/ sovlent that is effective at removing both of conklin's process adhesives | Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary. |
