Key Takeaways
- Silicone chemistry defines peel force and adhesive compatibility.
- PET base ensures dimensional stability and high-speed die-cutting performance.
- Caliper control supports uniform converting and laminating.
- Corona and adhesive silicone coatings broaden PSA compatibility.
Release Chemistry & COF
- Silicone coatings establish consistent release levels. Chemistry and cure define peel force against different PSAs.
- Coefficient of friction (COF): Adjusted to match die-cutting, lamination, or roll label unwind.
See Silicone-Coated Release Films for chemistries and ranges.
Liner Caliper & Stability
- PET’s modulus and flatness provide dimensional stability unmatched by paper liners.
- Stable caliper ensures precision in die-cutting and laminating, minimizing waste.
- PET liners resist moisture and curl, extending shelf life.

PSA Compatibility
- Silicone release films must be paired with acrylic, rubber, or silicone PSAs.
- Controlled peel ensures clean dispensing and label application.
- Variations in release force allow easy-liner vs tight-liner formats.
Converting Considerations
- PET liners excel in high-speed slitting and sheeting; see Slitting and Sheeting.
- Die-cutting: Dimensional stability enables tight tolerances.
- Corona treatment: Enhances anchorage of silicone or adhesive systems.
- Winding & storage: PET’s flatness maintains roll uniformity.
Buyer’s Checklist
- Define PSA type: acrylic, rubber, or silicone.
- Target release force range in grams/inch or N/m.
- Specify gauge (commonly 48–92 ga) for handling and die-cutting.
- Confirm caliper tolerance for uniformity.
- Identify end use: labels, tapes, protective liners.
- Review Technical Datasheets before ordering.
