Description:
Printed Silicone 1 Side Coated Paper is a specialized paper product that features a silicone-coated side, making it ideal for applications requiring both printability and release properties. The silicone coating gives the paper its smooth, non-stick surface, which is essential in industries like packaging, food, medical, and electronics, where precise and clean release properties are necessary. The paper is one side coated with a silicone layer, while the other side remains untreated or lightly treated for printability. This makes it a versatile option for various printing techniques, such as flexographic or offset printing.
Specifications:
-
Material Type:
- Base Paper: High-quality bleached kraft paper or similar substrates with strong structural integrity.
- Silicone Coating: Food-grade silicone or standard silicone coatings depending on the application.
-
Coating:
- Single-Side Coating: Silicone coating applied on one side only. The untreated side is suitable for printing.
- Coating Thickness: Typically ranges from 5 to 10 microns, depending on the intended use.
-
Weight:
- Paper Weight: Available in various weight ranges, commonly from 60 gsm (grams per square meter) to 150 gsm.
- Thickness: Can vary depending on paper weight but typically falls in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 mm.
-
Surface Finish:
- Silicone Side: Smooth and glossy, providing excellent release characteristics.
- Printed Side: Suitable for printing, usually with a matte or satin finish, depending on the paper grade.
-
Release Properties:
- Non-stick Surface: The silicone coating prevents adhesives, inks, and other substances from sticking to the paper.
- Low Coefficient of Friction: Ensures that products do not adhere to the coated surface, even in high-speed processing applications.
-
Printability:
- The untreated side is ideal for printing using flexographic, offset, or digital methods.
- Ink Compatibility: Compatible with a range of inks, including UV and water-based inks.
-
Temperature Resistance:
- High-Temperature Resistance: Suitable for applications that require heat resistance, such as in baking or food packaging.
- Silicone coatings can typically withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +200°C.
-
Applications:
- Packaging: Used for food packaging (such as baking sheets, wax paper alternatives), medical packaging, and product labels.
- Release Liner: Common in adhesive applications where the coated side acts as a release liner, preventing adhesives from sticking.
- Medical: Can be used in wound care products, surgical drapes, and other sterile applications.
- Electronics: Protects sensitive components during assembly, as well as in the manufacturing of flexible electronics.
-
Environmental Resistance:
- Moisture Resistance: Silicone coating provides moisture resistance, making it ideal for humid environments.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most acids, alkalis, and solvents.
