The invention relates to a PET (
Polyethylene Terephthalate) reflective film, in particular to a method for removing the
surface coating of a reflective PET
aluminium plating film. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of: immersing the reflective PET
aluminium plating film into a cleaning solution, and heating at the temperature of 40-100 degrees centigrade, rinsing by using
clean water to remove the
coating adhered on the PET surface, and airing to obtain the recyclable PET film. The recycled PET film is colourless and transparent on the appearance and has the
intrinsic viscosity being about 0.723; the melt strength of the recycled PET film can satisfy requirements of PET
extrusion-blown molding (
bottle) or even
extrusion blown film; and in the same
extrusion technological conditions, the
intrinsic viscosity of the PET film, which has a yellow appearance and is recycled by using the traditional method of hermetically boiling by using 20% caustic soda at high temperature for more than 24 hours, is reduced to about 0.564 and cannot satisfy the requirements of the extrusion-blown molding (
bottle). The test in the invention proves that the method has the advantages of high-efficiency technology, time / water /
electricity-saving performance, environment friendliness, zero
discharge of waste water and practicability, is benefiical to realization of recycle of the reflective PET
aluminium plating film, and is suitable for recycling and practical.
