STRIPPABLE FILM ASSEMBLY AND COATING FOR DRAG REDUCTION

摘要

An assembly includes a substrate, a film on the substrate, and a coating on the film. The film includes a material permeable to organic solvents, and the coating includes a material reactive with the film. Alternatively, the assembly may include a substrate including a textured region, and a coating on the textured region. The coating mimics the texture of the textured. In an alternative embodiment, a laminate includes a film including a material permeable to organic solvents, a coating on the film, and an adhesive on a second surface of the film. The coating includes a material reactive with the film. In another embodiment, a method for reducing drag on a substrate includes applying a film on a substrate, and applying a coating on the film. The film includes a material permeable to organic solvents, and the coating includes a material reactive with the film.

主权项

1. A method of removing a laminate from a substrate comprising the steps of:
(a) exposing an external surface of the laminate to an organic solvent, wherein the laminate comprises a film having a texture on a first surface and affixed to at least a portion of the substrate by an adhesive on a second surface, and a coating on at least a portion of the first surface of the film that telegraphs the texture to the external surface of the laminate; (b) letting the organic solvent soak through the laminate to contact the adhesive; and (c) peeling the laminate off the substrate.
