Silicone Release Film

A Silicone release liner film has some distinct advantages over using a paper substrate. When we talk release liner we talk about the base paper or base film that is used. In this case we are talking Film. These base films are: PETLDPEHDPEPP. Also see Silicone Release Liner Paper for other benefits and uses of a paper substrate. Film substrates being used in a release liner makes up over 20% of the release liner market and is growing steadily. There are usually cost savings seen due to faster production, more labels per reel and a potential broader range of adhesive options.

We thrive at the challenge of helping you in deciding on either a paper or film based substrate for your next project. With so many different film combinations, we have an array of different choices to help you define these decisions, all while giving you the option of having us hold Inventory for you.

Application/Industry Area for Silicone Release Film 

Pressure Sensitive Labels

The film of choice for these labels if usually PET.  Benefits over a paper substrate are the following: A clear-on-clear "no-label look", provides increased tear out strength during high speed label dispensing, excellent caliper(gauge) control, no re-moisturization required for use, debris free material for clean rooms.

Buidling & Construction

PP film is often coated 1 Side with an Easy Silicone release and than applied to adhesive membranes for roofing applications.  This can provide in varous gauges and coatings either 1 side or 2 side.


Medical

A film release liner is used in the following areas: Low-trauma adhesives, Long-term wear adhesives, skin-friendly adhesives, dissolvable films.  Also used in wound dressings and ECG/grounding pads.

Other Areas Include: Automotive, Ballistics, Protection equipment, Aerospace
