A release liner is typically sold with adhesive products, and is normally included when you purchase sheets of material. This is to aid product handling and general use. However, it is also available as a product that can be purchased independently.
Release liner is usually made from paper coated with a low surface energy agent, such as silicone, on one or both sides. This allows the liner to be easily removed from any type of sticky material, exposing the adhesive before the part is applied.
Easy to die cut, release liners allow for complex shapes to be created. A touch panel fascia requiring complex cut outs and push button apertures may only have adhesive printed to certain areas. Die-cut liners are used to protect the adhesive until the panel is ready to be assembled.
Full sheets can also be used to cover the entire panel providing additional protection for electrical connections, before assembly.
Liner Examples:
Cadco White Release Liner is a protective sheet that can be applied to adhesives, or adhesive coated films. It protects the adhesive, keeping it clean and preventing it from adhering to anything, until the user is ready to apply it. The rear of the Cadco liner is a plain, white printable surface allowing part references and branding to be added. This may include information on the part itself or its date of manufacture. This can in turn help with stock control and part identification.
Cadco Release Liner is available in rolls or as custom sized sheet material.
