Use of release liners protects the adhesive applied on a label until the label is ready to use, this makes product handling easier. Release liners are coated on both sides using silicone as base release coating that provides a proper release value against the specific adhesive applied to them. Depending upon the texture and finish of the substrate, release liners are coated with extrusion or clay coatings which determine the smoothness and adhesion properties of the release liner.
