White Silicon 2 Side Coated Paper (often referred to as Silicone Coated Paper) is a type of paper that is coated with a silicone layer on both sides. This type of paper is commonly used for applications requiring a non-stick surface or for packaging and labeling in industries such as food packaging, medical, and cosmetics.
Specifications:
-
Base Paper:
- Material: High-quality wood pulp or bleached chemical pulp
- Basis Weight: Typically ranges from 80 to 200 gsm (grams per square meter), but custom weights are also available.
- Thickness: Usually ranges from 0.08mm to 0.2mm, depending on the weight and application.
-
Silicone Coating:
- Coating Type: Both sides of the paper are coated with silicone (non-stick coating). The silicone acts as a barrier, preventing adhesives or other substances from sticking to the surface.
- Coating Weight: Typically ranges from 1.0 to 3.0 gsm per side, but this can be adjusted according to the required application.
- Silicone Quality: High-quality silicone coatings are used for better release properties.
-
Finish and Texture:
- Glossy or Matte Finish: The coating can provide either a glossy or matte finish depending on the specific requirements. The glossy finish enhances the appearance, while matte can reduce glare.
- Smooth Surface: The coated sides typically have a smooth and even surface, ideal for printing, die-cutting, and labeling.
- Opacity: It is generally opaque with some variation based on coating weight and base paper type.
-
Strength and Durability:
- Tensile Strength: Good tensile strength, ensuring that the paper does not tear easily when handling.
- Tear Resistance: Offers decent tear resistance, especially when used for applications such as baking sheets or release liners.
- Puncture Resistance: Puncture resistance is moderate to high depending on thickness and base paper quality.
-
Release Properties:
- Non-stick: The silicone coating gives it excellent release properties, preventing sticky substances, adhesives, or other coatings from bonding to the surface.
- Chemical Resistance: The silicone coating typically offers resistance to various chemicals, oils, and water.
-
Applications:
- Food Packaging: Commonly used as a liner in food packaging, such as for baking sheets, cookies, and other non-stick applications.
