Adhesive removal indicator system and method of use

Abstract

An adhesive removal indicator system and method of use including a method for removing a residual bonding adhesive from a substrate, such as human skin, the method including applying an adhesive adsorbable colored dye on the residual bonding adhesive to form a colored adhesive; applying a bonding adhesive solvent on the colored adhesive; and removing from the substrate the colored adhesive with the bonding adhesive solvent, wherein the adhesive adsorbable colored dye is a skin impermeable dye.

         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bonding adhesive solvent is selected from the group consisting of methyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, n-propyl lactate, heptane, and hexamethyl disiloxane. 
     
     
         8 . A system for removing a residual bonding adhesive from a substrate, the system comprising:
 bonding adhesive solvent; and   a solution consisting essentially of an adhesive adsorbable colored dye dispersed throughout an organic-based bulk solvent;   wherein the solution is operable to dye the residual bonding adhesive, the bonding adhesive solvent is operable to dissolve the residual bonding adhesive, and the adhesive adsorbable colored dye is a skin impermeable.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the bonding adhesive solvent is an organic-based liquid or an aqueous-based liquid.

         11 . A system for removing a residual bonding adhesive from a substrate, the system comprising:
 a bonding adhesive solvent; and   a solution consisting essentially of an adhesive adsorbable colored dye dispersed throughout an aqueous-based bulk solvent;   wherein the solution is operable to dye the residual bonding adhesive, the bonding adhesive solvent is operable to dissolve the residual bonding adhesive, and the adhesive adsorbable colored dye is a skin impermeable.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bonding adhesive solvent is an organic-based liquid or an aqueous-based liquid. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the adhesive adsorbable colored dye is dye selected from the group consisting of Red 33, Basic Red 51, Basic Blue 99, and Ebony.
