Dow Corning, a global leader in
silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, unveiled its new,
high-performance Syl-Off Release System at Labelexpo India 2014. The new system
combines Dow Corning’s industry-leading Syl-Off SL 35 Release Modifier and new
Syl-Off SL 411 Coating to help customers optimize quality control and
cost-effective manufacturing. Dow Corning is showcasing the new system here at
stand #H41, along with the company’s broad Syl-Off family of products. The
company is also featuring its full line of extreme-performance labeling
technologies, including pressure-sensitive (PS) silicones, pressure-sensitive
adhesives (PSAs) and emulsion coatings.
“Dow Corning’s new Syl-Off SL 35
Release Modifier/Syl-OffSL 411 Coating system illustrates our commitment to
developing next-generation silicone technologies to help our labeling customers
drive greater manufacturing performance and cost efficiencies,” said Praveen
Malhotra, marketing manager for Packaging, South Asia, at Dow Corning. “Like
all of our Syl-Off Advantage Series products, the new system demonstrates Dow
Corning’s total understanding of what our customers need in order to strengthen
their market position, and how we collaborate with them to create
forward-looking labeling solutions.”
Syl-OffSL 411 Coating,
introduced here today, is a new solventless silicone release polymer technology
that offers low platinum levels and optimizes high-speed performance. It
provides fast cure and extremely stable release for applications involving bulk
roll pressure-sensitive label stock, food packaging and industrial release
papers using glassine and super-calendared kraft (SCK) substrates.
Syl-Off SL 35 Release Modifier,
used together with Dow Corning’s new Syl-OffSL 411 Coating, offers tightly
controlled, but flexible modification of a coating’s release force. It combines
very low platinum levels with superior stability and shelf life to optimally
balance quality control and cost savings. This new addition to Dow Corning’s
leading-edge Syl-Off Advantage Series improves the manufacture of
pressure-sensitive label stock, single- and double-sided release papers, liners
for adhesive tapes and other coatings for sticky materials.
Dow Corning developed the
Syl-Off Advantage Series of solventless silicone technologies to help customers
reduce exposure to variations in platinum prices without sacrificing release
performance. The Syl-Off Advantage Series offers a comprehensive selection of
base polymers, crosslinkers, release modifiers and catalysts – all engineered
to optimize flexibility in controlling release, cure and cost.
