Silicon-based technology specialist Dow Corning has launched a new water-based silicone emulsion at Labelexpo Europe 2015.

The Syl-Off EM 7945 coating has been developed for off-line coating of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films.

Dow said it is a more sustainable and safer alternative to solvent-based release coatings, which it can replace without incurring additional costs.

The new emulsion is designed to deliver higher performance vs. traditional release coatings, including faster cure, superior anchorage, lower release force and excellent aesthetics.
