The protective film is used by manufacturers of various products for transportation to the end consumer. It helps to protect products from all kinds of damage during the transportation of goods. Depending on the type of product, the appropriate film removal methods are used.
Instructions
Step 1
The protective film is installed on insulating glass units. This helps to protect glass and plastic from various damages during transportation and installation. If the film was recently installed on the product and has not yet been transformed, you can remove it by pulling on either edge. In case of difficulty, you can pick up any edge of the adhesive surface with something sharp - a small knife, razor blade, or thin spatula.
Step 2
To remove the film from plastic, you will have to use special chemical solvents. Wet the surface to which the protective layer is applied with an alcohol-based solvent. You can use White Spirit liquid. It is also permissible to lubricate the surface with alcohol or vodka. Wait a while for the solvent to chemically react with the adhesive backing. Then use a thin spatula to scrape the film off the surface. In the event that all the glue could not be removed, try the procedure again.
Step 3
You will need a hairdryer to remove the tint film from the glass. Bring the device to the surface and start even heating at a distance of 8-10 cm from the glass. After heating, you can start the peeling procedure by pulling on one of the corners of the cover. You can also dip the heating glass in hot water, after which the film will be removed just as easily. If the glass has cooled down before you start removing the protective layer, you will need to reheat it again, since removing the tint from a cold surface is quite difficult.
Step 4
If you are removing the protective film from your phone screen, simply pry one of its corners with your fingernail. Lift the cover gently and then pull in the desired direction. If you cannot remove the film, do not try to use any chemical agents - they can damage the fragile screen of the device. Try to pry the film from any other corner, or continue using the device until the protective layer begins to peel off, as it does not interfere with the normal operation of the device and is able to protect the display from scratches and other damage.
