Abstract

Abstract In peeling off, from a coating surface, temporarily protecting coating films formed by applying a protecting coating material onto the coating surface after completion of the coating, high-pressure water is jetted toward between the coating surface and end edges of the temporarily protecting coating films to peel off the end edges from the coating surface. Then, the high-pressure water is jetted sequentially to between the coating surface and peeled-off portions of the temporarily protecting coating films from the coating surface to peel off the entire temporarily protecting coating films from the coating surface. Thus, the temporarily protecting coating films can be easily peeled off without being influenced by the temperature of an environment, leading to a shortened peeling-off time.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 107 words
A process for peeling-off temporarily protecting coating films, from a coating surface, which have been formed by applying a protecting coating material onto said coating surface after completion of the coating, said process comprising the steps of jetting high-pressure water toward between said coating surface and end edges of said temporarily protecting coating films to peel off the end edges of said temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface, and jetting the high-pressure water sequentially to between said coating surface and peeled-off portions of said temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface to peel off the entire temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 107 words
A process for peeling-off temporarily protecting coating films, from a coating surface, which have been formed by applying a protecting coating material onto said coating surface after completion of the coating, said process comprising the steps of jetting high-pressure water toward between said coating surface and end edges of said temporarily protecting coating films to peel off the end edges of said temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface, and jetting the high-pressure water sequentially to between said coating surface and peeled-off portions of said temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface to peel off the entire temporarily protecting coating films from said coating surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process for peeling-off temporarily protecting coating films according to claim 1, wherein when the temperature of said temporarily protecting coating films is of 5° C. or lower, the temperature of the high pressure water is set at 20° C. or higher.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 41 words
