Release K100 D

RELEASE K 100 D is a synthetic polymer with high molecular weight in a 100% solid powder form. When in solution, it is a very efficient release agent for polyolefins and substrates with low melting point (PE, PP, PVC, PET), coated with natural rubber, synthetic rubber and/or acrylic adhesives.

The product does not contain silicone components.

Product appearance: White to light yellowish fine powder. 

RELEASE K 100 D can be used on corona treated as well as on untreated films. Concentration of the solution prepared for the coating ranges from 0.3% to 2% solids, depending upon film coating equipment and desired release effect.
RELEASE K 100 D is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents at temperatures above 35°C.
Recommended aromatic solvent is toluene, while for aliphatic solvents we recommend octane/ethanol or heptane/isopropyl alcohol 3 to1.
In order to achieve a continuous and homogenous coating, it is absolutely necessary that the temperature is kept above 35°C during the whole process.

Slowly add RELEASE K 100 D to solvent and stir continuously at a temperature between 35  and 50°C.
Handle with care, since the solvent is flammable.

The product is supplied in fibre drums (20 kg).

RELEASE K 100 D in 100% solid form can be stored safely at almost all temperatures below its melting point. In solution, it must be stored at temperatures not below 25°C to prevent gelification. In case of partial or total solidification, store the product in a heated place and stir it well at a temperature between 35°C to 50°C before using. The product will return as fluid as before.
Do not coat if liquid is not completely clear or if gelification occured.

Use within 24 months from production date (unopened and in the original packaging).

RELEASE K 100 D may be used as a release agent in adhesive sealing tape for indirect food-contact applications.
