Medical & Healthcare Applications

Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) systems used in medical tapes, adhesive bandages, wound care products, ECG electrodes and diagnostic applications require controlled release, consistent winding, precision die-cutting and reliable converting performance.

Napol Global offers silicone-coated paper release liners and silicone-coated PET release films for medical and healthcare applications. Material selection should consider adhesive chemistry, product construction, target release force, converting requirements, roll dimensions, basis weight or film thickness, and production-line conditions.

Applications

Silicone-Coated Paper Release Liners

Silicone-coated paper release liners protect adhesive surfaces throughout manufacturing, lamination, cutting, rewinding and prior to final application in adhesive bandages, medical tapes, wound care products and adhesive medical pads. Proper selection of the silicone system and paper substrate supports controlled and repeatable release performance.

Typical Applications:
Adhesive bandages, medical tapes, wound care products, adhesive medical pads and other pressure-sensitive medical products.

Silicone-Coated PET Release Films

Silicone-coated PET release films are used in medical applications requiring high surface smoothness, dimensional stability, tight caliper control and precision die-cutting. They can serve as process carriers or release liners for ECG electrodes, diagnostic applications and precision die-cut medical components.

Typical Applications:
ECG electrodes, diagnostic products, electrode components and precision die-cut medical components.

Technical Evaluation

Release liner selection should consider the adhesive system, target release force, cutting method, converting conditions, packaging process and, where applicable, sterilization compatibility.

Sterilization compatibility should be verified for the selected material construction.
