Fluorosilicone Release Coatings
Why SYL-OFF™ fluorosilicone release coatings?
SYL-OFF™ Fluorosilicone Release Coatings are designed to provide consistent, stable release from DOWSIL™ silicone pressure sensitive adhesives.
SYL-OFF™ fluorosilicone release coating solutions for PSAs
Silicone pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have unique advantages that make them ideal for challenging, high-value applications. With a wide range of fluorosilicone release coating solutions and complementary PSAs from Dow, you can:
How are pressure sensitive adhesives made?
Dow silicone pressure sensitive adhesives are cast and cured onto the carrier film and the fluorosilicone release liner is nipped in following the cure step. The low release force allows for easy removal of the liner by hand or semi-automated production lines.
Where can pressure sensitive adhesives be used?
For thin, delicate or heat-sensitive films, transfer coating may be an option. Some silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives may be coated directly onto films with Dow fluorosilicone coatings that will hold up to demanding coating and curing processes. These films can be nipped onto the PSA, thereby transferring the PSA from the liner to the carrier.

Fluorosilicone coating products for differential release
Double-sided, unsupported or transfer tapes often require a release differential to avoid confusion during application. One option is to use the difference between direct-cast and nipped liner to get a differential of 1.2-2.5 ratio, depending on the application.
SYL-OFF™ 7795 Fluorosilicone Coating
A solvent-base fluorosilicone release coat with low release force properties for silicone pressure sensitive adhesive applications.
SYL-OFF™ 7555 Coating
Designed to be used as a two-component release system. The coating is formulated with the addition-curing catalyst and inhibitors required for a stable bath.
SYL-OFF™ 7786 Coating
SYL-OFF™ 7786 Coating is an addition-curing, fluorosilicone coating suitable for use as a release coating for specially formulated dimethyl silicone pressure sensitive adhesives.
SYL-OFF™ 7792 Fluorosilicone Coating
SYL-OFF™ 7792 Fluorosilicone Coating has an addition curing system, lower and stable release force, and is suitable for laminate various silicone pressure sensitive adhesive films on the release liner.
