Abstract

A method of stripping films which are stuck together without damage is disclosed. The whole reel of films which are stuck together is placed in a sealing device with outlet valves. Liquid nitrogen is added at a bottom of the sealing device. The films are stripped off by a flow of gas through gaps between the layers of the films while the vaporization of liquid nitrogen. The present invention adopts a natural force of liquid nitrogen vaporization to strip the films, which does not compromise the PH value, the dimensional performance and the mechanical performance of the films. The films are in stripped off without damage. The conventional method of stripping the films causes the fragile film to break off or the image layer with a decreased combing power to detach. The present invention has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and good promotion value.

Claims

1. A method of striping films which are stuck together without damage, comprising steps of adding liquid nitrogen into a sealing device with safety valves;

hanging the films which are stuck together inside the sealing device horizontally;

setting the safety valves to automatically discharge gas when a pressure inside the sealing device reaches 0.10-0.50 MPa;

vaporizing the liquid nitrogen added in the sealing device for 30 to 150 minutes;

taking out the films when a temperature returns to a room temperature;

completing stripping of the films.

2. The method of stripping the films which are stuck together without the damage, as recited in claim 1, wherein the safety valves automatically discharge the gas when the pressure inside the sealing device reaches 0.15-0.20 MPa.

3. The method of stripping the films which are stuck together without the damage, as recited in claim 1, wherein a distance between a bottom of the films which are stuck together and an initial liquid nitrogen surface is 0.5-2 cm.

4. The method of stripping the films which are stuck together without the damage, as recited in claim 2, wherein a distance between a bottom of the films which are stuck together and an initial liquid nitrogen surface is 0.5-2 cm.
