delamination
1. The splitting apart of one or more of the
layers of a laminate due to failure of the
adhesive, or cohesive failure of the laminate. 2.
The removal of the laminating material from a
document. Delamination of cellulose acetate film
may be accomplished by soaking the sandwiched
document in a solution of acetone, assuming proper
tests have indicated that the ink on the document
will not be affected by the solvent. Delamination
is difficult to accomplish and generally more than
one treatment is required to remove all traces of
the laminate. See also:LAMINATION ; SUNDEX PROCESS . (218 , 309 )
