A release liner is a film sheet made from paper or plastic that prevents adhesives from sticking prematurely to a surface. This liner is coated on one or both sides with a release agent, like silicone, which allows it to separate easily from sticky materials such as adhesives or mastics. Release liners are crucial in various industries, including labels, tapes, medical applications, industrial coatings, and food packaging They act as a protective.barrier, ensuring that the adhesive remains effective until it is ready for use.
Release liners come in different colors and may feature printing on the back side. They are manufactured using non-migratory materials like polyacrylates, carbamates, polyolefins, fluorocarbons, and silicones, which prevent contamination of the surface they protect. The market offers a variety of substrate materials, including paper-based liners (such as Glassine/Calendered Kraft Paper, Polyolefin Coated Paper, and Clay Coated Paper) and film-based liners (like polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester).
