Film Release Liner Options
Film based release liners are known for their durability, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability. They are used in high-performance applications, including industrial, medical, automotive, and electronics.
Here is a list of the key film materials commonly used for release liners in the U.S.:
| Film Type | Properties | Applications | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Polyethylene (PE) | Flexible, moisture-resistant, low cost | Tapes, Label and Graphics, Medical, Industrial, Building & Construction, Composites | High flexibility, good chemical resistance, good moisture barrier. Works well in high humidity environments | Lower temperature resistance than other films |
| Polypropylene (PP) | Strong, moisture-resistant, good dimensional stability | Industrial, Tapes, Automotive, Building & Construction, Medical | Superior durability and dimensional stability. Suitable for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress | More rigid than polyethylene, limiting its use in highly flexible applications |
| Polyester (PET) | High tensile strength, tear resistant, excellent dimensional stability | High Performance Tapes, Graphics, Medical, Electronics, Industrial, Building & Construction | Withstands high temperatures, durable, resists chemical and UV exposure. Preferred for applications requiring long-term stability | More expensive than PE or PP films |
| Polystyrene (PS) | Rigid, inexpensive, low moisture absorption | Specialty Industrial and Automotive, Medical, Building & Construction | Good stability and dimensional accuracy in certain industrial applications | Less flexible and more brittle than PE or PP films |
