Comprehensive Applications of Silcolease™ Silicone Coatings
Silcolease™ Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) offer high performance self-adhesive bonding in many electronic applications and are enablers of processes where organic adhesives lack the necessary resistance to extreme temperatures or chemical exposure. Silcolease™ PSA also offer unique dielectric, transparency and spreading properties that make them the ideal companions in electronic component manufacture.
- Masking tapes for high temperature
- Film protection for smartphones and tablet screens
- Durable goods labels for harsh environments
- Good adhesion to low surface energy substrates and low adhesion on sensitive substrates
Our Silcolease™ range also includes components and additives for other functional coatings offering:
- Slip control coatings
- Anti-mar performance in decorative coatings and inks
- Photoinitiator for UV coatings and inks
Whatever you are looking for in your paper and film coatings, our Silcolease™ range will help deliver the right solution.
