Market Definition
Release liners are plastic or paper coatings that prevent a sticky surface, such as a label, from adhering prematurely. PVC, polyester, PET, polyethylene, and other polymers can be used to coat the liners' substrate surface. Self-adhesive plastic sheets, pressure-sensitive tapes, and labels all require release liners. The use of these types of liners makes it easy to handle the object. Silicone is used as the base of the release layer on both sides, ensuring proper release against the appropriate adhesive.
Release liners play a crucial role in the product decoration industry as they are coated papers or films that carry adhesive materials. Pressure-sensitive labels, which are widely used in various industries, heavily depend on release liners. These liners are essential for ensuring the effectiveness of labeling technology and are particularly important for pressure-sensitive labels, which are the most commonly used labeling methods across different sectors.
