Silicone Coated Paper for Tape, Printing, Packaging & Industrial Applications
1. INTRODUCTION
Silicone-coated paper refers to paper that has been treated with a thin layer of silicone, a type of polymer that imparts several desirable properties. This coating enhances the paper’s physical characteristics, making it suitable for a range of specialized applications, especially in packaging and industrial uses.
Our silicone paper can be made with a 1- or 2-sided coating and comes in various degrees of release, thicknesses, sizes and more. We can convert it into sheets, rolls and die-cuts, and can offer them with printed back-sides.
Types of Silicone-Coated Paper:
Type of Silicone-Coated Paper | Silicone Coating | Main Uses |
Single-Sided Silicone-Coated | One side coated | Baking, food packaging, release liners for adhesives. |
Double-Sided Silicone-Coated | Both sides coated | Greaseproof and moisture-proof food packaging. |
High-Density Silicone-Coated | Thicker coating | Premium food packaging, baking, industrial insulation. |
Low-Density Silicone-Coated | Thinner coating | Economical food packaging, basic baking paper. |
Microwave-Safe Silicone-Coated | Specialized coating | Microwaveable food packaging, popcorn bags. |
Release Liner Silicone-Coated | Coating on one side | Adhesive products (tapes, stickers, labels). |
Industrial Silicone-Coated | Heavy-duty coating | Electrical insulation, industrial gaskets, protective layers in manufacturing. |
Key Properties of Silicone-Coated Paper:
- Non-Stick Properties: The silicone coating creates a surface that resists adhesion, preventing substances (such as oils, glues, or food) from sticking to the paper. This is particularly useful in food packaging (such as baking sheets or pizza boxes) and adhesive products (liner for tapes, interleave paper for Heat Transfer Label HTL printing).
- Moisture Resistance: The silicone layer also makes the paper resistant to moisture, which is beneficial in packaging applications where the integrity of the product needs to be preserved despite humidity or water exposure.
- Grease and Oil Resistance: Silicone-coated paper is highly resistant to oils and fats, making it ideal for applications like wrapping greasy foods or for use in cooking (such as baking sheets or burger wrappers).
- Temperature Resistance: Silicone-coated paper is capable of withstanding higher temperatures compared to standard paper, making it useful in heat-sensitive applications like baking and food preparation. The paper won’t degrade or lose its integrity when exposed to heat.
- Smooth Surface: The silicone coating provides a smooth, sleek finish to the paper, improving its appearance and usability, especially for high-end or sensitive packaging where aesthetics is important.
- Durability and Strength: The silicone coating strengthens the paper, making it more durable and less prone to tearing. It can hold up under stress and in rougher conditions, making it more effective for demanding applications.
2. APPLICATIONS OF SILICONE COATED PAPER
- Interleave Paper: Interleave paper, also known as interleaving sheets, is used as a protective layer between products to prevent damage during handling, shipping, or storage. This type of paper is commonly used to prevent abrasion, scratching, or sticking when products are stacked or layered.
- Textiles and Fabrics interleaving: Silicone-coated paper is also used to protect delicate textiles or fabrics from damage during storage or transport. It prevents fabrics from sticking together and helps maintain their appearance.
- Interleaving between printed sheets: In the printing industry, silicone-coated interleave paper is used between sheets of printed material to prevent them from sticking to each other during drying or handling, such as interleave paper for Heat Transfer Label HTL.
- Release Liner: Silicone-coated paper is frequently used as a release liner for adhesive products like labels, stickers, tapes, and medical or industrial applications. The coating prevents the adhesive from sticking to the paper before it is applied to a surface.
- Baking and Cooking: Silicone-coated paper is widely used in baking applications (e.g., parchment paper or baking sheets). It helps prevent food from sticking during the cooking process and makes cleaning easier. It is used in ovens to line baking trays and in cooking for non-stick purposes.
- Food Packaging: It’s commonly used for packaging greasy or sticky food items such as fast food, cookies, and pizzas. The paper keeps oils and fats from seeping through and maintains the freshness of the product.
- Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: Silicone-coated paper can be used in the packaging of pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, and other items that need protection from moisture, grease, or contamination.
- Industrial and Electrical Applications: Due to its resistance to temperature and moisture, silicon-coated paper is sometimes used in industrial applications for electrical insulation, as a protective layer, or as part of the manufacturing of electronic components.
