Can anyone suggest an effective safe method of removing old labels from the plastic cases of medical electronic devices being remanufactured for reuse. We currently use E-xacto knifes but operators have cut themselves. Chemical label removers need to soak through the label but the labels are designed to resist cleaning chemicals.

Please use hair dryer to remove the labels. This is the most effective way.

You may want to try Methanol. Some light scrapeing may still be required.
Use gloves while applying the Methanol.

DO NOT TRY ACETONE....the label will stay but the plastic behind it will be gone...

Have you tried a steamer as used to remove rinkles from clothes? Most of those glues are not to great in heat. Most plastic has a melting point of around 350°f and steam is just over 212°. ... be careful!..




The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.
