FAQs: Food Release Paper Coating
SYL-OFF™ emulsion release coatings recommended for food release applications are designed for indirect food-contact use, such as baking and cooking papers. Suitability of the finished article depends on the full paper construction, coating process, intended conditions of use, and applicable local regulations. The food paper manufacturer is responsible for confirming final compliance.
Both SYL-OFF™ EM 7978 Coating and SYL-OFF™ EM 7979 Coating are emulsion-based silicone release coatings developed for premium food and bakery release applications, particularly for in-line coating during paper manufacturing. SYL-OFF™ EM 7979 Coating is designed to further support paper-machine runnability, with improved shear stability, reduced dusting, strong surface coating retention while maintaining very good water repellency.
Yes. Dow offers a range of SYL-OFF™ silicone emulsion release coatings for both in-line and off-line application. SYL-OFF™ EM 7978 Coating and SYL-OFF™ EM 7979 Coating are designed for in-line coating on paper machines, while SYL-OFF™ EM 7951 Coating and SYL-OFF™ EM 7990 Coating are typically better suited for off-line coating applications.
SYL-OFF™ silicone release coatings recommended for food release applications can support compliance with relevant food-contact requirements, including applicable FDA and EU frameworks, when used as intended. Final compliance must be confirmed for the finished article and intended conditions of use. For detailed regulatory documentation, please contact Dow’s EH&S or regulatory support team.
SYL-OFF™ silicone release coatings are used at low coat weights and are not expected to be the determining factor for recyclability or compost ability. However, certification of the finished baking paper remains the responsibility of the food paper manufacturer and must be assessed according to the final paper construction, local regulations, and the relevant test standards.
Samples and technical data sheets for SYL-OFF™ release coatings can be requested through the Dow Food Release Paper Coating page or by contacting your Dow representative. Dow can help identify the most suitable product based on the application, coating process, and performance requirements.
