Release Liners

A release liner is a paper or plastic based carrier web material, which is coated on one or two sides with a release agent, which provides a release effect against any type of a sticky material such as an adhesive or a mastic. Release liners are available in different colors, with or without printing. Release papers for silicone coating play the vital role of carriers of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) labels and tags through conversion and dispensing. They’re also used in the manufacturing of self-adhesive materials and components for an ever-increasing number of tape, industrial and graphic applications.

Glassines

This paper grade encompasses the highest degree of density and offers an optimal surface for a consistent silicone coating. Besides good coating capability, Glassine is manufactured within narrow caliper tolerances and provides good die-cutting performance. Due to its low absorption level, thin and consistent silicone coatings can be applied. Especially for double sided liners within narrow release differentials, Glassine offers considerable advantages in comparison to other paper carriers.

Possible Product Combinations

Available basis weights: 40 – 160 g/m²  ( approx. 21,5 – 98 lbs/ream)
Paper Color: upon request
Coatings: single and double sided
Silicone: solvent free; available also with low friction additive and in tinted version
Print: reverse side or with print under silicone possible (single color flexographic)
Specialty: also available as repulpable version

 

SCK (Super Calendered Kraft paper)

Though also super calendered, this liner is less densified in comparison to a Glassine paper. Reverse side roughnesses as well as caliper of a SCK liner are significantly higher, if compared with a Glassine.

Possible Product Combinations

Available basis weights: 68 – 90 g/m²   (approx. 30 – 50 lbs/ream)
Color: white
Coatings: single and double sided
Silicone: solventfree; available also with low friction additive and in tinted version
Print: reverse side or with print under silicone possible (single color flexographic)
Specialty: also available as repulpable version

CCK (Clay coated Kraft paper)

Clay Coated Kraft papers combine two major advantages. Due to their top coating, these papers provide a very consistent surface and good dimensional stability. The variations on clay coatings are very versatile, starting from one side coated papers with single clay layers to double sided clay coated liners with multiple top coatings and high internal bond constructions. Available surfaces range from high gloss to matt finish. Our clay-coated release papers range from 50 to 180 gsm. They ensure a perfect coating with all silicon systems for a wide range of PSA graphics, PSA labels in sheet format, and many other applications.

Possible Product Combinations

Available basis weights: 80 – 150 g/m² (37 – 92 lbs/ream)
Colors: white; colored liners upon request
Clay Coatings: single or double sided
Surface Finish: glossy to matt finish
Release Coating: single or double sided
Silicone: solvent free; available also with low friction additive and in tinted version
Print: reverse side or with print under silicone (single color flexographic)

Breathable Viral Barrier (BVB)

Operating under pressure and staying cool isn’t always easy. Breathable Viral Barrier nonwoven fabric used in surgical gowns provides unbeatable protection, comfort and ease of use for doctors, nurses and dentists around the world.

About thirty per cent of all surgeries are considered high-risk for exposure to fluids. Viruses are so small that only an impervious film can create a sufficient barrier. The trouble is, impervious films get hot.

That’s why Breathable Viral Barrier nonwoven fabric was created; in response to a market need for a highly protective yet comfortable fabric. It’s a composite structure. It lets moisture go through but prevents any viruses from penetrating. Soft, strong, light and yet still provides impeccable protection. In surgery, protection equals safety. Not surprising that this nonwoven is the leading product for professionals in the operating room.

SMS

Traditional re-usable linen drapes and gowns carry no guarantee against infection due to tears and holes during washing as well as the high lint nature of linen. We offer a range of single use medical nonwoven fabrics with superior barrier protection – bacterial, viral, particulate and fluid. These nonwovens significantly reduce the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI), protecting devices and making life safer for medical professionals and patients alike.

Benefits

  • Lint Free
  • Low memory
  • Flexible product options in performance, basis weights and colour
    • Basis Weights: 30 – 55 GSM
    • Colours: Medical Blue, Dark Blue, Green
