Europe Release Liner Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A release liner, also known as a backing paper or carrier paper, is a protective material used in adhesive applications. It is a paper or film-based substrate that is coated on one or both sides with a release agent. The primary function of a release liner is to protect the adhesive material until it is ready to be used. The release liner acts as a carrier for adhesive products such as pressure-sensitive labels, tapes, graphic films, medical products, and industrial tapes. It provides support and stability to the adhesive during storage, handling, and application. The release liner's surface is coated with a release agent, typically silicone, which imparts a low-tack or non-stick property to allow easy removal of the adhesive.
