Liner Systems & Converting USA | PET Films for Adhesives & Graphics
Liner systems are the backbone of adhesive products, labels, and graphic applications. They protect adhesives until use, ensure smooth converting, and provide dimensional stability in demanding processes. In the USA, converters and manufacturers rely on PET liner films for their strength, consistency, and performance under pressure.
At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we supply PET films and converting services designed for liner systems and specialty converting. Our portfolio includes silicone-coated release films for adhesive liners, high-clarity graphic PET grades for visual overlays, and precision die-cutting for ready-to-use components. For companies needing additional flexibility, PHC also offers toll converting services, enabling manufacturers to use their own films with PHC’s advanced converting equipment.
Silicone-Coated Release Films
PHC’s silicone-coated release films provide controlled release performance for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). With consistent silicone application, these PET liners deliver smooth handling and predictable release values across a wide range of adhesives.
Applications include:
- Industrial tapes.
- Labels and decals.
- Medical and hygiene products.
For USA converters, silicone-coated PET liners ensure adhesives remain intact until use, reducing waste and increasing reliability.
High-Clarity PET for Graphic Overlays
In addition to release liners, many applications require visually impactful films. PHC supplies high-clarity graphic grade PET for overlays, displays, and premium labels. These films deliver brilliance and durability, making them ideal for graphic laminations combined with adhesive liners.
Precision Die-Cutting for Liner Parts
Many liner systems require components in exact dimensions. PHC’s die-cutting services convert PET liners and graphic films into precision parts. With repeatable accuracy, our die-cutting supports applications such as:
- Electrical insulation liners.
- Automotive gaskets and seals.
- Specialty adhesive parts.
USA manufacturers trust PHC to deliver both the film and the finished components.
Toll Converting for Flexibility
Some manufacturers supply their own base materials but require advanced converting. PHC offers toll converting, where we apply slitting, sheeting, coating, or die-cutting to customer-owned films.
Benefits include:
- Reduced capital investment in equipment.
- Access to precision converting technology.
- Lower scrap and improved consistency.
Toll converting allows USA companies to extend their capabilities without expanding in-house operations.
