  • Publication number: 20080287557
    Abstract: An apparatus continuously treats the surface of waste rubber powder by means of microwave thereby making it possible to treat the surface of waste rubber powder continuously and more efficiently. As a result, recycled rubber material has superior surface roughness and processability and the physical or chemical properties of the rubber articles are improved.

  • Patent number: 6689821
    Abstract: Thermosetting paint film is removed by adding plastic resin coated with thermosetting paint film into a mixed solution of an alcoholic solvent and alkali and heating this mixed solution while stirring. Isopropyl alcohol, phenoxy alcohol and alkali are added in a reactor and heated to a temperature of 50-70° C. while stirring. Plastic resin coated with thermosetting paint film is added and a reaction is performed while maintaining the temperature. The isopropyl alcohol and phenoxy alcohol are added in a mixed ratio of 70-90:30-10.

  • Publication number: 20020103266
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of removing thermosetting paint film using isopropyl alcohol, and more specifically, to a method of removing thermosetting paint film comprising the steps of: adding plastic resin coated with thermosetting paint film into a reactor including a mixed solution of isopropyl alcohol, phenoxy ethanol and alkali at a predetermined temperature; allowing the mixture to react for a short time; and then removing the separated paint film. This invention provides an excellent method to remove thermosetting paint film, prevents heat aging thus enabling to consistently maintain inherent physical properties and secure safety even after removal of the film due to the much lower reaction temperature with a solvent as compared to those in conventional methods, prevents deterioration in physical properties caused by remaining impurities, provides a low cost process with a simplified manufacturing process and enables to effectively recycle a large amount of plastic resin waste.

  • Patent number: 6258178
    Abstract: A heated high pressure air and/or a high pressure water are spouted through nozzles. Therefore, the coated layer is removed without crushing the bumper unlike in the conventional method, and therefore, a plurality of process steps can be skipped. Thus the bulk of the apparatus can be reduced, the operating cost can be lowered, and the environment can be protected. The method for removing a coated layer includes the step of installing a bumper to be subjected to a removal of the coated layer. Then the coated layer is removed from the bumper by spouting water and/or a pre-heated air to the bumper. Then the bumper is carried to a predetermined psition after removing the coated layer, and then the bumper is detached. The apparatus includes an installing/detaching means for installing/detaching the bumper to be subjected to a removal of the coated layer.
