Where Re-LinerTM Supports General Applications
General applications often require a release liner that can perform reliably within a particular production process rather than becoming part of the finished product.
The appropriate material, coating and release level will depend on the adhesive system, operating conditions, required surface finish and method of converting. Re-LinerTM solutions are available in multiple paper and film substrates to support a broad range of technical and practical requirements.
Process liners provide a temporary non-stick surface during the manufacture, handling or assembly of adhesive and resin-based products.
They can prevent sticky materials from adhering prematurely to machinery, work surfaces, packaging or other layers of the product. After the relevant production stage has been completed, the liner can be removed cleanly.
Process liners may be used during coating, laminating, cutting, pressing, curing, storage and transportation operations.
Sheets of release liner can be placed between adhesive-coated, resinous or sensitive components to prevent them from sticking together during stacking, storage or transportation.
Interleaving can help protect product surfaces, maintain separation between layers and improve handling throughout the supply chain.
Release papers and films are widely used in arts and crafts products that contain pressure-sensitive adhesives, glues, resins, paints or other sticky materials.
Typical uses include adhesive craft shapes, stickers, decorative films, transfer products, resin projects and reusable work surfaces. The liner protects the adhesive or material until the product is ready to be used.
Many consumer and industrial products contain small self-adhesive components that require a protective backing before assembly or final use.
Release liners help preserve adhesive quality while supporting die-cutting, kiss-cutting, storage, transportation and accurate positioning. Applications may include adhesive pads, seals, fixings, protective components and assembly aids.
Release liners can support processes involving resins, sealants, coatings, foams and other materials that may adhere to surrounding surfaces while being applied or cured.
The silicone-coated surface can provide a temporary barrier that enables easier handling, controlled processing and clean removal once the material has set or the production stage is complete.
Silicone release liners can provide a practical disposable work surface when mixing, dispensing or handling adhesives, sealants and other sticky substances.
Using a release surface can reduce unwanted adhesion, simplify clean-up and help operators handle materials more efficiently.
Release liner requirements are not always linked to a standard product or established market.
Wherever a manufacturing process involves an unwanted sticking issue, difficult material handling or the need for a temporary non-stick surface, Techlan can help assess the application and recommend a suitable Re-LinerTM option.
