Dow Corning Unveils Advanced Water-based Emulsion for Off-line PET Film to Deliver Greater Sustainability, Safety, Performance
Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, introduced here today at Labelexpo Europe 2015 (stand #7E35), new Syl-Off EM 7945 Coating, the company’s new water-based silicone emulsion developed for off-line coating of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. Syl-Off EM 7945 Coating is a more sustainable and safer alternative to solvent-based release coatings, which it can replace without incurring additional costs. The new emulsion also delivers higher performance vs. traditional release coatings, including faster cure, superior anchorage, lower release force and excellent aesthetics. This advanced new technology, which complements Dow Corning’s expanding family of high-performance coatings, is ideally suited for clear-on-clear labeling and electronics applications.
