Release Coatings and Agents

Improve release and lubricity

Releasing the potential of silicone performance

Silicone release coatings are applied at low coatweights onto a wide range of substrates using many different techniques. The silicone release coatings form a crosslinked non-stick surface useful in protecting pressure-sensitive adhesives until the moment of use, and also enable delivery of many other sticky materials such as bituminous compounds, composite prepregs, and food. They are available in a variety of delivery systems utilizing a range of thermal cure chemistries, such as platinum- or rhodium-catalyzed addition curing or tin-catalyzed condensation curing.

Silicone release agents are used as additives in mold release applications where they enable quicker release of products made in molds, such as tires or food containers. They also provide lubricity and slipperiness in applications such as newspaper presses and conveyor belts that use rollers.

From food and healthcare to graphic arts and labels, silicone release coatings from Dow provide a range of benefits to deliver the right solution for any application. Competitively priced and reliably supplied, they offer:

Reliability

Robust curing below 35 ppm platinum.

Increased flexibility

In controlling release, cure and coatweight.

Faster line speeds

Breaking records without misting.

Good coverage

With long bath life, anchorage, and release.

Unleashing your cure potential

Two thermal cure chemistries for silicone release coating products, to meet all your application needs.

Addition cure

Catalyzed by platinum or rhodium, addition cure chemistry has been successfully applied to solventless, solvent-based, and emulsion coatings.

Condensation Cure

Silicone release agents from Dow offer many benefits in industrial, food-contact manufacturing and film and paper coating applications. Their nonstick properties can help enable:
