About Scraper Blades
Plastic scrapers, like the adhesive removal blades available here in our store, evolved with the rise of plastics in the mid-20th century. Early metal and wooden scrapers often caused surface damage, prompting the development of plastic alternatives. Materials such as polyethylene and polycarbonate became popular for their strength, light weight, and ability to avoid scratching delicate surfaces, making them ideal for tasks like adhesive and paint removal.
By the 1980s, polycarbonate became the material of choice due to its impact resistance and chemical stability. These plastic tools, such as the Chizzler Adhesive Removal Plastic Blade, provided a safer, non-abrasive way to remove adhesives and other materials. Today, plastic scrapers are designed with ergonomic features and specialized edges to ensure precise, damage-free removal, making them indispensable for professionals and DIYers alike.
Please consider recycling the adhesive removal blades responsibly by checking with your local recycling program for rigid plastics.
