Optimizing Silicone Adhesion to Increase Barrier Performance
In release liner manufacturing, the ability to anchor silicone coatings securely is essential for product performance. KaMin’s mineral solutions are engineered to create an ultra-smooth, uniform barrier that enables silicone coatings to bond effectively to the liner surface. Without this critical foundation, silicone coatings can fail, leading to peeling and product inefficiencies.
By providing the right surface chemistry and barrier strength, KaMin minerals help manufacturers produce release liners that maintain consistent peel strength, durability, and overall product reliability. This precision is especially important in industries requiring high-performance release liners for labels, tapes, and industrial applications.
Key Advantages of KaMin Minerals in Release Liners
- Superior Silicone Anchoring & Efficiency: KaMin’s engineered mineral solutions create a tight, uniform barrier that enhances silicone crosslinking, improves holdout, and reduces catalyst demand, ensuring secure adhesion without peeling or flaking.
- Enhanced Surface Smoothness: Fine particle kaolin creates a consistent, smooth surface ideal for optimal silicone coating adhesion.
- Durability and Consistency: KaMin minerals improve the structural integrity of release liners, providing long-lasting performance and reliable release properties.
- Cost-Effective Formulation: KaMin’s tailored mineral solutions help manufacturers balance performance and cost by reducing reliance on more expensive materials.
