Glassine Release Paper

Glassine release paper is a thin sheet of paper that is designed for use with pressure-sensitive adhesives. This release paper is manufactured by coating a glassine base paper with a coating solution containing polyvinyl alcohol. This solution is then applied to both sides of the paper. The paper is then cured in UV light.

The paper is translucent and smooth, which makes it suitable for use in packaging. It is acid-free and pH-neutral, and also resistant to air, moisture, and grease. It is made from wood pulp, making it a sustainable material choice. It is also fully recyclable. Because of these properties, glassine is an excellent choice for use in label-making applications.

Glassine release paper is an excellent choice for point-of-sale labelling, as it has good releasing properties and high composite strength. It is also used in the food and cosmetics industries and for security labels. It also resists extreme temperatures and is suitable for a variety of applications. For example, this paper is suitable for use in security labels, as it is resistant to heat and pressure.

In order to create the most effective glassine release paper, we tested the adhesive properties of various papers. We used a solvent-free adhesive and an emulsion-type adhesive. To evaluate the adhesive, we used a reverse-roll coater to coat the paper with 22 g / m2. We then tested the paper for adhesive residue. We were able to measure the amount of adhesive residue and the consistency of the release paper.

The moisture content of the base paper was adjusted to nine to ten percent. Next, the paper was passed through a multi-stage super calender consisting of a metal roll and an elastic roll. The paper was checked for smoothness and permeability using Beck's smoothness test. This test requires a minimum of 800 + 200 seconds for 10 ml.

Glassine-based release liners are also commonly used for medical applications. Companies such as Mondi are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the glassine-based release liners by using certified base paper. They work with suppliers who manage their forests responsibly. This helps to minimize their carbon footprint while ensuring that their supply chain is traceable and their products are environmentally friendly.

Another use of glassine release paper is to protect acrylic paintings. The paper adheres well to paint that is soft and medium-based. However, it may permanently damage the artwork. Likewise, glassine is used by philatelists to protect their stamps. Glassine also makes the hinges on stamps. Insect collectors and entomologists may also use glassine as a protective coating for whole specimens.
