Momentive introduces UV curable release coating

At Labelexpo Europe, Momentive Performance Materials launched its SilForce range of UV curable release coatings designed for sensitive applications where odor may not be acceptable to end users. The new products can be considered for applications such as tapes on disposable diapers and feminine hygiene products.

‘Our innovative polymer and catalyst formulation can help our customers differentiate their products in the marketplace,’ said Carlos H. Flores, global marketing director, release coatings and PSAs, at Momentive Performance Materials. ‘The new SilForce product line is an excellent candidate for UV coaters to consider when odor-free performance is desired for disposable diaper tapes and other personal care products. Moreover, due to the low temperature cure process, energy cost savings may be possible.’

SilForce UV9880C photoinitiator is an odor-free catalyst, produced without the use of organic solvents, for use with Momentive’s SilForce low odor UV curable polymers. SilForce UV9800 and SilForce UV9815 silicone release polymers are new products offered for use with SilForce UV9880C photoinitiator for odorless release coating applications.
