Patented release liner technology

Based on proprietary patented technology, Acti-V® supercalendered release papers for silicone coating play an active role in the silicone curing and anchorage process, and represent an industry benchmark for performance, process efficiency, flexibility and sustainability. A complete range of Acti-V® products offers a reliable solution and unique benefits suiting all release liner needs for PSA labeling, specialty tape, medical, industrial and composites applications.

  • Available in basis weights from 45 to 140 gsm
  • Acti-V® industrial versions designed for silicone coating on both sides.
  • Six different colors, plus new lower-impact versions based on unbleached and recycled cellulose: o Sustainable release papers for PSA labeling o Sustainable release papers for double-sided PSA tapes
  • Suitable for all silicone systems: solvent free, solvent, emulsion and UV.
  • Entirely renewable, available with FSC® Chain-of-Custody certification,
  • Biodegradable and recyclable (according to CEPI Recyclability Laboratory Test Method) and supporting recyclability of the silicone coated liner.

Key benfits of Acti-V® release liner technology

  • Reliable performance

    Strong chemical bond between paper surface and silicone, ensuring consistent, outstanding anchorage (up to +40%), even with most challenging silicone formulations. Acti-V® XB extra barrier improves coverage with controlled silicone coat-weight.

  • Process efficiency

    Achieve perfect silicone curing and anchorage at higher coating speeds, with lower catalyst (platinum) content, and with lower curing temperatures. Acti-V® XB extra barrier can enable same coverage with reduced silicone coat-weight.

  • Flexibility

    Chose your optimal design, based on your individual process conditions and requirements. Maximize curing speed, or focus on catalyst or temperature reduction, and chose your ideal silicone formulation (fast-curing, low-platinum, low-temperature, controlled release agents)

  • Sustainability

    Based on renewable and responsibly sourced cellulose fibers, Acti-V® can help reduce the impact of your silicone coating process by lowering consumption of silicone, platinum catalyst, and energy. All products can be supplied with Chain-of-custody certification.
