When converters search for a paper release liner or film release liner, they are typically solving a very specific performance problem. The release liner must protect adhesive integrity, unwind cleanly at production speeds, and perform consistently across converting, storage, and end use. Fox River Associates is a premier U.S. supplier of paper release liners and film release liners, delivering silicone-coated solutions engineered for demanding applications.
For more than 35 years, Fox River Associates has supported customers across the tape, medical, composites, automotive, building and construction, graphics, and industrial markets. Our focus is on delivering the highest-quality siliconized release liners, supplied with technical guidance, fast turnaround, and service programs designed to help customers grow.
Film Release Liner Expertise for Precision Applications
A film release liner is often selected when dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and surface uniformity are critical. Fox River Associates supplies silicone-coated film release liner products manufactured on PET, polyethylene, and polypropylene substrates. These film release liners are engineered to deliver consistent release forces across a wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesives, resins, and specialty coatings.
Silicone-coated film release liner constructions are commonly used in medical device manufacturing, composite prepreg applications, automotive laminations, and high-performance industrial tapes. Because film release liners do not absorb moisture and offer tight caliper control, they perform reliably in environments where paper liners may be less suitable.
Fox River Associates works closely with customers to specify the correct film release liner based on adhesive chemistry, coating method, and processing conditions. Release levels can be customized to support premium easy release, easy release, medium release, or tight release requirements, ensuring predictable unwind behavior and clean separation.

Release Liners Backed by Silicone Coating Expertise
A paper release liner remains the preferred solution for many adhesive-backed products due to stiffness, convertibility, and cost efficiency. Fox River Associates supplies a wide range of silicone-coated paper release liner products, including bleached kraft paper release liners, glassine release liners, and specialty paper constructions.
Each paper release liner is engineered with controlled silicone coating systems that deliver repeatable release values without compromising adhesive performance. Paper release liners are widely used in medical disposables, wound care products, foam tapes, construction membranes, and industrial adhesive applications.
Unlike commodity paper release liner suppliers, Fox River Associates focuses on application-specific performance, tailoring silicone chemistry, and coating weight to match customer requirements. This ensures that the paper release liner performs consistently through coating, die-cutting, and final application.
Silicone Release Liner Technology: The Value of the Coating
Every high-performing paper release liner or film release liner depends on the quality of its silicone coating. Silicone release coatings provide the controlled release surface that allows adhesives and tacky materials to separate cleanly, without tearing, transfer, or contamination.
Fox River Associates offers a full spectrum of silicone release liner coatings, including premium easy, easy, medium, and tight release options. These coatings are selected based on adhesive aggressiveness, unwind speed, and end-use requirements.
For applications requiring more advanced control, Fox River Associates supplies two-side silicone coated (S2S) release liners, including differential silicone coatings. Differential release liners allow each side of the paper or film release liner to have a distinct release force, which is critical in transfer tape and multi-layer lamination applications.
Fox River Associates offers a full variety of silicone coatings on paper release liners and film release liners to serve the many needs for release values. Our technical team is ready to work with you to understand your products and process. Together we can identify the appropriate release liner for you to sample in your operation.

S1S and S2S Paper and Film Release Liners
Fox River Associates supplies both one-side silicone coated (S1S) and two-side silicone coated (S2S) paper release liner and film release liner constructions.
S1S release liners are commonly used when one side interfaces with adhesive while the opposite side must remain printable or bondable. S2S release liners are used in transfer adhesives, double-coated tapes, and complex laminations where controlled release on both sides is required.
Each S1S or S2S paper release liner or film release liner is engineered with performance, consistency, and manufacturability in mind.
Specialty Release Liner Applications Across Key Markets
Fox River Associates supports all major markets that rely on paper release liners and film release liners. These include pressure-sensitive tapes, medical and healthcare products, composite materials, automotive components, building and construction systems, and industrial laminations.
Rather than offering commodity products, Fox River Associates specializes in unique release liner applications where material selection, silicone chemistry, and release performance must be precisely aligned. Our technical team works directly with customers to evaluate process conditions and recommend the optimal paper release liner or film release liner solution.
