stretch release adhesive strips for lcd screen made in china
I was a bit disappointed in this product. First, as my title indicates, they were paper-thin. These were more like 0.1 or 0.2mm at the most. So, I made the mistake of not realizing these were probably for smartphones and small tablets, not laptop LCD screens, which use thicker .4-.8mm tabs. I should have noticed by the actual length spec shown. These are obviously way too short for most 15.6 and 17.3 applications. Second, careless packaging created problem. One of the plastic covers got pulled back about 1/2 way when they were slid into the plastic bag and the tab stuck to the bag. Attempts to remove it deformed the tab making it difficult to use, but I managed. So I put one down on each side of my HP 14" and put the LCD in place...was able to lift it right back up - no contact! I laid down a 2nd layer and that did the trick. Good thing they come in 4-packs. Well, overall not bad but - again - paper thin. Seller needs to upgrade listing with thickness spec.

There is a crucial point in every iFixit phone or tablet teardown where the future is about to take a drastic turn. It’s like right before the river card in poker, or a triple axel in figure skating, or clicking on a self-involved friend’s Instagram story: will there be stretch release adhesive under the battery, or (sigh) something else?
Gadgets that keep their batteries in place with stretch release adhesive are the next best thing to not using any adhesive at all. What makes stretch release so notable to us is what stretch release is not: sticky, hard-to-remove glue that practically forces you to bend and poke at a lithium-ion battery (which is a terrible, really bad idea). Battery removal is a big part of a smartphone’s repairability score—not a whole point’s worth by itself, but it could easily move a score one point higher or lower. Using an adhesive that a regular person can remove without special tools or chemicals is a big deal.
I’ve learned all this in my year and a half working at iFixit. But I wanted to know more. What are the physics, what is the chemistry, behind stretch release? Why doesn’t every device maker use stretch release adhesive? And what’s the best way of using it, either going on or coming off? Let’s dig in.
iFixit is lucky to have friends among the adhesive gurus at Tesa, a giant global provider of adhesives for industry and trade markets with nearly 5,000 employees, but still able to send a few folks to our small-city office. We filmed their experts for a video tutorial for our Pro customers about how to apply tape and which tape to use, and they spoke with our staff about the details and science behind stretch release.
There are three important properties to any tape: adhesion, cohesion, and tack. They form a triangle: you can add or take away from any one property, but it alters the other. Adhesion and cohesion are the most contradictory, and crucial to designing and choosing an adhesive. Put very simply:
Adhesion is the attraction between the adhesive and the substrate (the surface you want the adhesive to stick to). It improves with pressure, and usually with a brief period of time. It’s the ability to stay attached to something.
Cohesion is the inner strength of an adhesive, its ability to stay intact. It’s how an adhesive resists being melted, pulled sideways, picked at, or otherwise disrupted. It’s the ability to stay together.
Tack is an adhesive’s ability to first grab onto something, during the very first application. It’s especially important when applying adhesive to adhesive-resistant surfaces, such as rough planes. It normallydoesn’t matter much after the adhesive is applied and under pressure or time (that’s adhesion), but note those italics there. It’s the ability to grab onto something when applied or moved.
Normally, what you care about in tape is how well it holds two things together. You want it to resist the force that might detach those two things, usually coming from a parallel direction: gravity, hands, whatever. But here’s where some weird science comes in. Stretch release adhesive is made with polymers that realign themselves when the material is stretched parallel to the surface it is on. The tack reduces drastically, the adhesive bond is broken, and the substance (which is still intact, thanks to its cohesion) can slide across surfaces it would normally grab onto. It leaves no residue behind because it wasn’t pried or rubbed away, it just politely left the scene, like the best party guest.
I wish I could give you more about the exact science of how stretching the tape realigns its polymers, but it’s … a lot. There are a number of posts on open-question forum Quora asking how 3M’s wall-hanging Command Strips work, but the closest thing to an answer is a former 3M employee saying, actually, it’s a secret. He does reference how that Command adhesive has “extremely high tensile strength, but pretty low shear strength.” As with many big concepts, there is an xkcd comic that helps explain that, and then an explainer for the explanation (warning: comic contains one swear, but much science).
One of the oldest U.S. stretch release patents, granted to Johnson & Johnson in 1976, says the stretch release magic is “a unique film forming composition comprising elastomeric and thermoplastic A-B-A block copolymers.” What kind of A-B-A block copolymers, you ask? “[T]he A-blocks are derived from styrene or styrene homologues and the B-blocks are derived from conjugated dienes or lower alkenes.” Ah, well, there we go. You can try 3M’s 1999 patent for stretch release tape with an integrated pull-tab, too, but it assumes you understood the chemistry of the 1976 patent.
3M does explain how their pull-tab Command Strips work—just a little bit—in a blog post about … holiday decorating. Expert scientist Margaret Sheridan offers a layperson explanation of the chemistry behind Command Strips, which she helped develop:
“The adhesive has adhesive strength, which is the strength between the strip and the substrate, or the surface you’re sticking the strip to. It also has cohesive strength, which is how strong the adhesive is internally,” explains Margaret. “We want that cohesive strength to be greater than the adhesive strength, so when you stretch it, it comes off cleanly.”
Note: If you know of, or can provide, a good plain-language explanation of how stretch release chemistry or physics works, we’d love to include it here! Email kevin@ifixit.com.
Load up any of our iPhone battery replacement guides (and a few others, including , and you’ll get iFixit’s advice on working with stretch release adhesive. For example:
The Tesa experts emphasized to us that smooth, constant pressure is the key to efficient removal. Try never to let up on your pressure, while occasionally re-grabbing the adhesive closer to the battery.
Experienced phone-openers might notice that in some of our guides, we instruct you to remove the Taptic Engine or other parts of the iPhone, parts that might not seem strictly necessary to get at the battery. Now you can understand why: we’re removing objects that can potentially snag the adhesive, or prevent you from pulling at that nice low angle.
When you pull it off, you have a battery that’s ready to slide right out, and no leftover adhesive on the case. With a quick isopropyl cleaning of the phone surface, you’re ready to re-apply new stretch release strips. This begs the question …
The folks at Tesa, which sells both stretch release and other adhesives to device makers, told us that there are some trade-offs in designing for an easy battery removal.
A device maker has to not only add a smidgen of thickness for the strips themselves (you laugh, but every micrometer counts), but also design for accessing the tabs. That can mean moving components around so that your fingers, or blunt tweezers, can get at the release tabs, and putting no pieces above or below the height of your pulling that might snag the tape. Some device makers, especially those who don’t see any profit or gains in repair work, may not want to invest the time or space in designing for stretch release.
Then again, even Google, which previously glued down batteries, switched to stretch release tabs starting with the Pixel 3. And inside the Pixel 4a, they went so far as to cut little windows out of the middle frame, putting the tabs on the other side and giving you a very shallow angle for pulling.
It’s a paradox of modern phone design that phones are as thin as possible, yet the batteries inside them need to be held in place with adhesive. Shouldn’t the tight space inside be enough to keep the battery in place?
Modern lithium-ion batteries, the thin, foil-backed kind, are adhered into place so that they do not get pinched, punctured, or otherwise damaged by other phone bits. The long, flat battery, glued into place, can also act as reinforcement for the phone itself in certain designs. It’s not likely that batteries will go back to hard shells any time soon, so for now, we’re … stuck with adhesive.
We provide a film template for applying adhesive after a battery swap, because improperly placed adhesive can interfere with the wireless charging coil. It speaks to one real disadvantage of stretch release tape: once you put it down, you can’t reposition it.
Our guide to applying stretch release adhesive assumes that you are applying adhesive to a brand-new battery, fresh out of its packaging. When you’re applying adhesive to the phone itself, however, you want to clean the surface thoroughly, preferably with isopropyl alcohol. I’ve found this to be a deciding factor in whether a Command Strip holds a picture frame to a wall, or whether I hear a loud crashing sound in the middle of the night.
Finally, avoid air bubbles, wrinkles, and other deformities at all costs. Having any kind of gap in the contact between the adhesive and surface seriously weakens the bond, and can lead to unexpected release. You don’t want your battery loose inside your device. Trust us.

The present invention relates generally to stretch releasing adhesive articles attached with any shaped surface such as even rough surface that can be cleanly removed from a substrate and, such as a wall surface, and can hold heavy weight without damaging the surfaces. The invention provides the ease of separation between the major surfaces of adhesive strips and from the surfaces of the objects without any damage. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Adhesive tapes, such as, for example, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, are usually firmly bonded to surfaces because subsequent separation of the adhesive strip from the substrates not desired. However, there are adhesive strips wherein the adhesives are formulated to allow clean and easy removal from surfaces after use. These adhesives usually do not exhibit a substantial level of holding power, e.g., greater than 4 to 6 oz./in. adhesion to standard copy paper and it becomes difficult to attach with rough surfaces. Adhesives formulated to provide a substantial level of adhesion greater than 30 oz./in. adhesion to paper, are generally difficult to remove without damaging the substrate. These adhesives usually do not exhibit the separation of major surfaces between the adhesive strips.
Many types of adhesive products have been developed which permit the separable connection of plural objects. For example, laminated tape structures have been used to bond the opposed surfaces of two objects together, such as to bond a wall hanging to the surface of a wall.
In order to separate connections, the adhesive product may comprise an easily releasable adhesive permitting removal from a surface while leaving little or no adhesive residue on the surface. Examples include repositionable products available under the trade designation “Post-it” from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (“3M”) of St. Paul, Minn.
Another type of removable adhesive tape is a single-sided or double sided adhesive tape that is stretchable to accomplish removal. Alternatively, the adhesive may comprise a solid adhesive material that itself provides one or two adhesive surfaces and is sufficiently extensible. These tapes are often referred to as stretch release adhesive tapes because when the backing or solid adhesive layer is stretched by pulling the tab strip after the tape is adhered on one or both sides, the adhesive stretches and undergoes clean interfacial debonding from the surface to which it is adhered. Examples of such strips and tabs are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,189 to Luhmann and U.S. Pat. No. 5,516,581 to Kreckel et al, and in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 08/308,937 entitled “Removable Foam Adhesive Tape” filed Sep. 20, 1994 and 08/940,555 entitled “Removable Adhesive Tape with Controlled Sequential Release” filed Sep. 30, 1997, both to Braes et al. An article support specifically designed for use with such stretch release tapes is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,507,464 to Hamerski et al. An advantage of these stretch release adhesive tapes is that they utilize pressure sensitive adhesives that can provide a strong bond against shear, peel and lift-off forces. Moreover, heavier weighted objects can be supported.
With these stretch releasable tape strips, access must be provided to the tab to permit the release. In the case where the strip is provided between an object support, e.g. a picture hook, and a surface, e.g. a wall, the tab can be provided easily where the support and exposed tab will be covered by the object to be supported thereon. Also, with object supports, such as a picture hook, the hook can be reusable by providing a new tape strip. If, however, it is desirable to directly connect an object to a surface by a stretch releasable strip, the tab needs to extend out from between the opposed surfaces to provide access. In many cases, this can provide an objectionable appearance.
To overcome this problem, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/746,351 entitled “Internally Separable Tape Laminate” describe a tape laminate structure has been developed having an internally separable layer. A tape structure is provided that can be used to bond together the opposed surfaces of objects with no portion of the tape structure projecting from between the objects and which permits separation of the objects. The tape structure comprises separable layer provided between one or two stretch releasable tape strips. By this construction, the objects can be first separated from one another by applying a force substantially perpendicular to the surface direction of the tape lamina causing the internally separable layer to break within itself. That is, a portion of the layer stays attached to one object while another portion of the internal layer stays with the other object Then, with the objects separated, each layer portion can be removed from its respective object by pulling a stretch release tab and it allows to support significant weight at least 6 pounds per square inch.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,312 entitled “Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape having extensible and elastic backing composed of a block copolymer” assigned by Johnson and Johnson describes adhesive tape which comprises a highly extensible and elastic backing film laminated with an adhesive layer to form the tape. The tape is easily stretchable and normally may be removed easily from an application surface by stretching the tape lengthwise in a direction substantially parallel to the surface. This characteristic is highly important in medical applications where painless removal is desirable.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,231,962 entitled “Removable foam adhesive tape” and U.S. Pat. No. 6,403,206B1 adhesive tapes which comprise a layer of polymeric foam in the backing and may be adhered firmly to a surface and there after removed therefrom after only being stretched at an specific angle from surface of the substrate. Articles for mounting an object such as a picture to a surface such as a wall comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the invention are also described.
Many reusable fastener systems are also known to be provided with adhesive on their respective non-connector side surfaces for bonding to the objects which are to be connected. For example, the hook side of a hook and loop system may be adhered to one object while the loop side is adhered to another object. Although these fastener systems permit the separation of one object from another, each of the objects retains its portion of the fastener system, which are not easily removable.
Despite various improvements and progress in the field, some of the major obstacles that still exist, such as ease of separation even from rough surface and holding the weight up to 50 lbs/sq inch. In addition, it would be a significant improvement in the stretching tab that provide non adhesive surface and provides easy release from the surfaces of the object and provide release between both adhesive strips.
The present invention provides an improvement to adhesive article with stretchable mesh strip for use for easy release of an adhesive strip from any shaped surfaces of objects even from the rough surfaces of the objects and provide release between both strips by pulling central mesh. The improvement lies within the ability to control the ease of the debonding of both surfaces so that one adhesive surface releases from the other and can hold the weight up to 50 lbs/sq inch, The non-adhesive hexagonal mesh network layer provides the ease for the separation of objects, the aforementioned problems can be minimized.

wherein a manually engageable said pulling loops attached with said central mesh layer that effect progressive debonding of the said major surfaces of said adhesive layers from each other said major surfaces by stretching the said pulling loops of said central mesh layer.
The adhesive article includes removable mesh strips with lobes on the outside of the strip that provide the ease of separation of the surfaces from the object from any of the end and provide ease of separation between the adhesive strips. It further includes double-sided adhesive strips that attach with any shaped surfaces of the object even on rough surfaces that can bold heavy weight up to 50 lbs/sq inch. In accordance with a characterizing feature of the invention, the mesh strip prevents relative movement between the adhesive strips and the surfaces of the objects and therefore increases successful sequential release. By preventing relative movement between the adhesive strip and the surface and the stretch release of the double-sided layer also protect the surface from damage.
In another embodiment, the mesh layer is arranged on both to and bottom ends of the adhesive article. The mesh layer is made up from synthetic thread material which forms repeated blocks of hexagonal configuration with pulling lobes made up from the stretchable synthetic thread connected outside the hexagonal shaped mesh strip. The hexagonal shape provides the proper surface to mesh strip for ease of release of the double-sided adhesive strips from the surfaces of the objects and release between the adhesive strips during the release process.

The mesh layers 10, 20, 30 made of stretchable synthetic thread 41 in hexagonal 42 repeated arrangement to facilitate the stretch removal process by pulling the side lobes 11, 12, 63 and front back lobes 13, 14, 64 attached outside the mesh layers. The adhesive article 200 includes adhesive strips 31, 32 having opposite top and bottom major surfaces 18, 19, affixed with first and second ends 16, 17 of the surfaces, respectively, and includes a mesh layers 10, 20, 30 which can be stretched and pulled by a user from pulling the side lobes 11, 12, 63 and front back lobes 13, 14, 64 attached outside the mesh strips 10, 20, 30 respectively to effect the stretch release of the adhesive article 200 either of the first second ends 16, 17 and provides release between each other affixed surfaces of the strips 31, 32. This article 200 is with addition feature of separation of adhesive layers 31, 32 by pulling the side lobes 63 and front back lobes 64 of the mesh layer 30.
Factors which contribute to the likelihood of the adhesive strip 15, 31, 32 releasing from the support surface 16, 17 and from each other Includes the following: (1) the release end surfaces 16, 17 which is too small, (2) the elongation force required to stretch the adhesive mesh strips 10, 20, 30 is high, (3) a weak adhesive bond exists between the adhesive, inadequate pressure being applied during installation, or not allowing enough time for an effective bond to form between the adhesive strip and the support surface. Because of the variety of factors which can interfere with the predictable and effective sequential release of the first and second version 100, 200 of adhesive articles from the support surfaces 16, 17 on both sides and between each other. This desirable to provide means whereby sequential release is more likely to be successful.
The first and second versions 100, 200 respectively includes adhesive strips 15 and 31, 32 respectively. This include the mesh layers 10, 20, 30 with sides lobes 11, 12 and front back lobes 13, 14 for easy release of the surfaces 16, 17 of any shaped object and strip is able to hold the weight up to the 50 lbs/sq inch. It has high capacity of handling the weight which make it more applicable for its use in different purposes such as for holding the heavy weight and for gripping two objects strongly with each other. In second version article 200, the mesh 30 provides the release between the strips 31, 32 by pulling the sides lobes 63, 64 of the mesh layer 30 which differentiate this adhesive article from first version adhesive article 100.
A stretch releasing adhesive article adapted to be easily removable, strongly affixed to any shaped surfaces, having two versions, first version comprises:
(a) non-adhesive mesh layers, of hexagonal repeated network with pulling loops, attached with wax covered strips which can be easily peel off on both ends of the said adhesive article, and
(b) adhesive layers sandwiched between said mesh layers which is affixed to top and bottom major surfaces of said adhesive layers,wherein a manually engageable said pulling loops attached with said hexagonal mesh network that effect progressive debonding of the said major surfaces of said adhesive layer from surfaces of the objects on both ends by stretching the said pulling loops of said mesh layer, after the adhesive surface is bonded to that said object, by the application of a force in between its said first and second ends.
(a) non-adhesive mesh layers, of hexagonal repeated network with pulling loops, attached with wax covered strips which can be easily peel off on both ends of the said adhesive article with a central mesh layer sandwiched between the major surface of first adhesive strip and second adhesive strip layers from both sides,
(b) adhesive layers sandwiched between said mesh layers, affixed to top and bottom major surfaces of said adhesive layers,wherein a manually engageable said pulling loops attached with said mesh layers on both ends that effect progressive debonding of the said major surfaces of said adhesive layer from surfaces of the objects on said both ends by stretching the said pulling loops of said mesh layers, after the adhesive surfaces is bonded to that said surfaces of objects, by the application of a force in between its said first and second ends.
wherein a manually engageable said pulling loops attached with said central mesh layer that effect progressive debonding of the said major surfaces of said adhesive layers from each other said major surfaces by stretching the said pulling loops of said central mesh layer.
