Dow recently announced the availability of its new solvent-free SYL-OFF™ SL 184 coating, an energy-efficient alternative that minimizes misting at high product label production line speeds. A fast-curing silicone that reportedly exhibits low release force at both low and high peel speeds, SYL-OFF SL 184 coating maintains overall performance on most existing label coating equipment, including multi-roll lines.
“Release liner producers are investing in high-speed label coating production lines to increase production rates, lower costs, and meet increased demand for reliable product labels,” said Nathalie Gerard, global segment leader for Dow Consumer Solutions. “SYL-OFF™ SL 184 Coating significantly minimizes the misting that occurs in high-speed lines without any performance tradeoffs.”
