Dow Corning, a global leader in the
development of silicone technology for the pressure sensitive industry, is
introducing innovative new release coatings and pressure sensitive adhesives
(PSAs) at Labelexpo India 2012, scheduled for Oct. 29 through Nov. 1 at Pragati
Maidan in New Delhi. The company will display its solutions in Booth A66.
The new products, which are designed to help
label, tape and non-stick packaging manufacturers improve performance, increase
productivity, control costs and operate more sustainably, include new Syl-Off brand water-based solutions for coating films and non-stick packaging, along
with low-adhesion PSAs for protective films and tapes.
Dow Corning’s new Syl-Off emulsion coatings
for non-stick packaging provide a tough, durable and water-repellent surface
for food-grade release and packaging paper applications. The coatings offer
flat, stable release profiles and fast cure at low platinum levels, which can
equal manufacturing cost-savings. The coatings can be applied to a variety of
laminate and label stocks.
New thermal-cure silicone Syl-Off emulsion
coatings for films can help film coaters optimize their release performance,
operate more profitably and reduce their reliance on solvent-based technology.
These unique emulsions deliver low and stable release profiles that can add
value to finished products. They also offer the potential for low coat weights
and can be applied to PET either in-line or off-line.
With low and stable adhesion, optical
transparency, and clean removal under challenging environmental and processing
conditions, Dow Corning 7651 Adhesive and Dow Corning 7652 Adhesive support
the creation of high-performance protective films for mobile device,
touch-screen and flat-panel display applications. The adhesives also can be
used to produce cost-saving, waste-reducing reworkable films and tapes.
Dow Corning brand hard-coating solutions
give surface-protection films greater durability and hardness while maintaining
high transmittance. Designed for use on PET films, these innovative solutions
offer superior anti-graffiti performance and ink repellency, plus better
grease-removal capability. Dow Corning hard coatings also provide superior
water repellency and better mar resistance when compared to an acrylate coating
on PET.
Dow Corning has a long history of
market-driven innovation for the pressure sensitive industry. The company’s
Syl-Off Advantage Series is an excellent example. More than 80 coaters in 25
countries have already benefited from the product line’s ability to enhance
line speed, improve coating performance and help them protect themselves from
unpredictable swings in platinum metal prices.
