Method for the reprocessing of a poly(
meth)
acrylate-containing
adhesive mass, comprising the following process steps: a) Manufacturing or providing a starting composition comprising one or more poly(
meth)acrylates, each comprising a plurality of organic residues linked via an
ester bond -OR 1i , where R 1i For each residue i, independently of the other residues, is selected from the group consisting of linear and branched
hydrocarbon residues with 1 to 25 carbon atoms, b) Combining the starting composition with a
solvolysis composition comprising one or more solvolyses, wherein the solvolyses are selected from the group consisting of water, monohydric alcohols of the formula HO-R 2i , where R 2i selected is from the group consisting of linear and branched
hydrocarbon residues with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, where R 2i at least partially from R1i is different, and higher alcohols with 2 or 3 carbon atoms, to obtain a reaction composition, and c) Performing
solvolysis by cleaving ester bonds to the organic residues -OR 1i in the poly(
meth)acrylates contained in the reaction composition, to obtain a product composition, comprising: i) one or more recovered alcohols of the formula HO-R 1i , and ii) one or more reaction products of the poly(meth)acrylates with the solvolyzing agent(s), d) Separating the recovered alcohols from the product composition.
