Evonik has launched Tego RC 1442, a new silicone release coating developed for fast curing pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) applications.

Tego RC 1442 is based on Evonik’s existing RC 1400 series technology and delivers the same release performance. The new silicone release coating is claimed to provide ‘excellent’ anchorage to substrates and deliver stable release values over time, even under humid storage conditions.

Suitable for release liners for use in all applications, Tego RC silicones can be used for industrial release liners, self-adhesive labels, graphic arts, tapes and hygienic products including, food packaging and food contact applications.

Stefan Stadtmueller, global head of Tego RC silicones at Evonik, said, ‘The increasing demand from our PSA market customers for globally available, easy-to-apply and high-performing UV curable products inspires us to continually review our portfolio to ensure that we deliver the solutions our customers need to meet changing market dynamics like the growth in online shopping.’

Tego RC 1442 is fully commercialised and globally available.
