Contact SupplierSilicon-coated paper release paper, also referred to as silicone release paper or silicone paper, is a specialized paper treated with a silicone coating. This treatment gives the paper its unique non-stick and release properties, making it ideal for a variety of applications where a clean, easy separation is necessary. The paper is widely used in industries like adhesives, labeling, medical, and packaging, where a protective layer needs to be peeled off with ease. Description: Silicon-coated paper is primarily used as a release liner for adhesive products. The silicone layer makes it easy to peel off without leaving residues or damaging the product underneath. It is available in different weights, thicknesses, and textures, allowing for customization depending on the specific requirements of the application. Applications: Adhesive Products: Used in pressure-sensitive labels, stickers, tapes, and medical bandages. Labeling: As a backing for self-adhesive labels and stickers. Packaging: Protects sticky surfaces during manufacturing or transport. Electronics: Protects delicate surfaces like screens during shipping or assembly. Medical: Can be used in wound dressings or in the production of medical tape. Specification: Material Composition: Base Paper: Usually made from wood pulp or Kraft paper, which is known for its strength and durability. Silicone Coating: One or both sides of the paper are coated with a thin layer of silicone, which is what gives it the release properties. The coating could be of varying thickness depending on the application. Weight and Thickness: Paper weight typically ranges from 40 gsm to 150 gsm. Thickness of the paper typically ranges from 0.05mm to 0.15mm (depending on the base paper and the silicone coating thickness). The thickness and weight will affect the rigidity, strength, and flexibility of the paper. Release Properties: Release Force: Typically, the release force (the force needed to peel the paper off the adhesive surface) is calibrated to specific needs. It could range from light (for products like stickers) to high (for heavy-duty tapes). Silicone Coating Types: There are different grades of silicone coatings, such as high-performance, medium-performance, and light-duty. The type of silicone used affects the smoothness and release efficiency. Surface Characteristics: The surface can be smooth or textured, depending on the required use. It can be treated to have a glossy or matte finish. Roll Dimensions: Common roll widths range from 300 mm to 1200 mm, though they can be custom-made. Roll lengths vary, commonly between 100 meters to 500 meters depending on the specific application. Color: The paper is generally white or off-white, though it can be customized to other colors, depending on the requirements (for example, for branding or specific uses in the medical or electronics industry). Durability: Silicon-coated paper is generally durable and resistant to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure, though the exact durability will depend on the paper's grade and intended use. Adhesive Compatibility: Works well with various adhesive types such as acrylic, rubber-based, and silicone adhesives. It’s designed to offer a smooth release for pressure-sensitive adhesives. Environmental Considerations: Generally, silicon-coated papers are not recyclable due to the silicone layer. However, environmentally friendly versions are available, made from recycled paper or biodegradable silicones. Additional Customizations: Perforations: The release paper may come with perforations, allowing it to be torn or cut easily for specific applications. Anti-static: Some versions are treated to be anti-static, especially for use in electronics and other sensitive products. Liner for Flexible Films: Often used as a liner for flexible films in the manufacturing of flexible products. In summary, silicon-coated paper release paper is an essential material in many industries that req
