What can cause double adhesive to lose stickiness?

Answer:

It is difficult to remove the double-sided adhesive between two hard surfaces. You can try acetone or ether, but pay attention to safety. You must ensure ventilation and there is no fire source around.Before attempting to dissolve the double adhesive, it is recommended that you dip the swab with a bit of solvent and try to see if the plastic will be broken by the solvent in the concealed part.
Toluene, xylene, tetrahydrofuran and other solvents, I do not recommend you to use, because they are mostly toxic, but also polycarbonate, PC/ABS and other notebook shell commonly used materials swelling.Finally, there is a trick, some adhesives at low temperatures will lose viscosity, with waterproof bag, put into the refrigerator freezer, cooling to about -20 degrees, take out pry...... I wonder if it is possible. (the glass temperature of some functional components of the adhesive is below -50 degrees, this method is not applicable).Heating also allows adhesive viscosity to decrease and strength to decrease and thus may be separated
However, you have to be prepared, and the only physical contact with the solvent is only a thin circle around it. It may take a long time to achieve the effect of separation.
