Product construction

Release papers and films are not only protection of adhesive layer, but also have an important part in quality and function of the product itself. With variations of surface characteristics, they are also used for resin film foaming applications and so forth.

Product construction

  • Release paper
  • Release film

There are two types of base materials: a paper and a film. For each product, a release agent is coated on the respective side of the base material. In general, a barrier layer is pre-coated for release paper in order to prevent the release agent soaking into the base paper.

Classification of release agents (silicone and little-silicone)

The release agents that are coated on the release papers and film are broadly classified into silicone and little-silicone categories. There have been growing needs for little-silicone release agents in various industry segments including the electronic components industry.

Silicone

Release agents used for general adhesive products. LINTEC has an abundant variety of formulations based on long-time experience accumulated in the release papers and film industry.

Little-silicone

Used mainly for electronic device applications where silicone can be detrimental.
Also, fluorine release agent is available for silicone adhesives. LINTEC will offer a broad range of little-silicone release agent products ranging from light to heavy release property to cover the growing needs in the future.

Various release agents specially customized for your needs are available.

Types and characteristics of release papers and films

LINTEC takes advantage of manufacturing from the base paper, release papers and films, and even adhesive materials by own productions as total technology, which enables to produce right release property to meet customer’s requirement.Representative compositions and features are explained here.

  1. *1Release property against Acrylic adhesive (peeling face material side, release angle is 180 degree. After coating acrylic adhesive on release film and cure for 2 minutes at 100℃, A polyester film 25μ will be applied. Measuring release property after leaveing the sample for 24 hours at 40℃ with the pressure of 40g/cm2.

Release speed and release force

The resistance, occurred when adhesive surface of a sticker or label separates from release papers or films, is called release force. The unit is expressed in (N/m) etc, and it is generally measured under 180° tape peel condition with range from low speed peeling at 0.3m/min to high speed peeling at 100m/min.

Release force is generally said to be dependent on the peeling speed, and it tends to be heavier as the peeling speed increases. However, LINTEC can propose suitable products, such as those that are less dependent on the peeling rate, from among the ample formulations of release agents.
