In the manufacture of adhesive bandages and medical tapes, compatibility between the adhesive system, release liner, carrier substrate and packaging material is essential for consistent performance on high-speed converting lines. Napol Global provides silicone-coated paper and film release liners, cold-seal coated papers and suitable medical packaging materials for applications requiring sterile packaging.

Silicone-coated release liners protect pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) surfaces throughout manufacturing, lamination, die-cutting, rewinding and handling while supporting controlled and repeatable liner removal. Cold-seal coated papers provide a heat-free packaging solution for temperature-sensitive products by forming a seal through coated-to-coated contact under pressure. Where sterile packaging is required, material selection should be based on the sterilization method and final package design. Material construction should also be selected according to the adhesive chemistry and specific processing requirements of the production line.
