Release base papers for self-adhesive graphic laminates

SilcoTM Flat is a specialized range of clay-coated release base papers for self-adhesive laminates used in offset printing, wide-format graphics and sign making.

SilcoTM Flat are two-side coated ultra-flat and ultra-smooth release base papers. These become an ideal backing layer for thin self-adhesive vinyls, when coated with silicone by laminate producers, ensuring excellent print quality and accurate plotter cutting.

The extremely smooth texture of SilcoTM Flat prevents any “orange peel” effect on the printed vinyl film, resulting in a brilliant and impeccable finish.

The possible application of such self-adhesive films include reflective
road signage, the decoration of vehicles and retail and building branding.
All SilcoTM grades set benchmark performance standards with any silicone
system: solvent free, solvent and emulsion, UV.
