Paper Release Liner Products
Paper release liners are used in a diverse range of applications serving many industries. From composites to labels to medical adhesive bandages, paper release liners are found in a wide variety of applications.
Paper release liners provide temperature resistance, stiffness, and high resistance to many solvent-based coatings. These release liners can be designed with low or high internal moisture to deliver improved dimensional stability. Paper based release liners with a PE extrusion can deliver improved layflat and dimensional stability properties, while providing a smooth release surface for coatings and adhesives.

Poly-coated Kraft (PCK) Paper Release Liners
Poly-coated kraft (PCK) release liners are paper substrates coated with a layer of polyethylene (PE) on one or both sides, providing moisture resistance and smoothness. Silicone is typically applied to the PE surface to impart release properties. These liners are widely used in various industries due to their durability, resistance to environmental factors, and suitability for high-performance applications.
There are several performance benefits of using PCK paper release liners, including:
-
- Moisture Resistance
- Smooth Surface
- Durability
- Improved Silicone Coating
Markets for Polycoated Kraft Release Liners
PCK release liners are used across a variety of industries, including wound care dressings, medical tapes, and diagnostic devices. PCK release liners are also found in graphic arts and label applications, industrial tapes including masking tapes, double-sided tapes, and splicing tapes. The building & construction market uses PCK paper release liners for roofing membranes, flashing tapes, and weather barrier tapes. Adhesive tapes in automotive systems including interior trims, badges and protective films utilize PCK paper release liners.

Glassine Paper Release Liners
Glassine paper is known for its smooth surface and high transparency. It is lightweight and commonly used in medical, tape, and label release liner applications due to its consistent thickness and compatibility with various silicone coatings.
Glassine paper is a popular substrate for release liners across numerous industries thanks to its unique combination of properties. Derived from cellulose fibers and processed to achieve exceptional smoothness, density, and transparency, glassine stands out as an optimal choice for a wide range of applications.
Glassine paper is often preferred for release lines over other substrates for several reasons:
-
- Surface Properties
- Dimensional Stability
- Cost-Effectiveness
- Barrier Properties
- Printability
Markets for Glassine Paper Release Liners
Glassine release liners from Fox River Associates are widely used across a variety of industries. Key applications include medical applications such as wound dressings, diagnostic devices, electrodes, transdermal, wearable devices, and securement and other emerging medical applications. Glassine release liners are found where cleanliness and precision are critical. In building & construction applications, glassine release liners are found in anti-skid products, seam tape and flashing tape, underlayment, waterproofing and sound proofing. Glassine release liners are often chosen for single-sided, double-sided and specialty industrial technical tapes, particularly in construction, electronics, and automotive industries. For composite and aerospace applications, glassine release liners are used in the production of composite panels, resin film and unidirectional tapes.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Siliconized Paper Release Liner
Selecting the right paper release liner involves evaluating several key factors:
- Adhesive Compatibility
The interaction between the silicone release coating and the adhesive is critical. Click here to learn how to choose the right paper release liner for your adhesive. - Release Force
Release force measures how much effort is needed to remove the release liner from the adhesive. High-consistency medical applications may require low-release liners, while heavy-duty industrial tapes might demand higher release forces for stability. - Die-Cutting Requirements
In die-cutting applications, the release liner must maintain dimensional stability under pressure and resist tearing during the process. Glassine paper is suitable for lightweight die-cut parts, while PCK paper may be necessary for multilayer or heavy-duty die-cutting.
The technical team at Fox River Associates is uniquely experienced in understanding applications and assisting customers in identifying the appropriate release liner options for each technical application.
