PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively remote a photosensitive coating film without producing burrs when a photosensitive coating film on a photoreceptor drum is removed, by using a nonwoven fabric having a rough structure on at least one surface. SOLUTION: A removing tape 1 consists of a nonwoven fabric having a rough structure on at least one surface. By bringing the rough surface of the nonwoven fabric into contact with a photosensitive coating film layer 4. the photosensitive coating film layer 4 can be removed mainly by the projected part of the rough nonwoven fabric. Moreover, the removed photosensitive coating film layer 4 is held in the recessed part of the rough nonwoven fabric so that the photosensitive coating film can be efficiently removed without producing burrs. The rough nonwoven fabric used is prepared by, for example, partially fusing and adhering the structural fibers of a fabric by embossing or ultrasonic treatment so that the fused part forms the recessed part and nonfused part as the projected part, or by using a supporting body having a large wire diameter and a coarse mesh to form apertures in the fabric when fibers are entangled in a fluid such as a water flow. |
