Pressure Sensitive Label Release Liners
The release liner (also called backing) is a material that acts as a carrier for the label. The liner protects the adhesive layer and stays with the label until it is ready to be applied to a surface. Most label material is manufactured with a standard liner. If a special liner is required, it must be custom laminated.
A release coating is applied to the liner material which allows the liner to separate from the labels adhesive layer. The release coating is typically silicone but will vary according to the label adhesive and end use environment. Silicone-free liners are available for applications where silicone can not be present, typically cleanroom environments.
