Paper Release Liners
Paper release liners provide strength, printability, and economy. They are well suited for many industrial and specialty tape applications where dimensional stability and flatness are critical. Common types include:
- Glassine: Highly calendared and dense, glassine offers excellent release consistency.
- Clay-Coated Papers: Designed for applications that require a printable surface along with good release performance.
- Supercalendered Kraft (SCK): A smooth, dense paper liner often used with pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Film Release Liners
Film release liners are chosen for applications requiring moisture resistance, chemical resistance, or superior dimensional stability. Fox River Associates inventories and supplies:
- Polyester (PET): A durable, clear release liner ideal for high-performance tapes, medical dressings, and composites.
- Polypropylene (PP): A cost-effective film release liner offering flexibility and good release properties.
- Polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE): Widely used in tapes, gaskets, and foam adhesive applications.
By stocking both paper and film release liners, Fox River Associates provides the flexibility to choose the substrate that matches your performance and cost requirements.
