Application Details

CRA® 21 can be processed together with nearly all solvent-based DEHESIVE® products. It is miscible with them in all proportions. Mixtures of CRA® 21 and DEHESIVE® are ideal for the production of release paper and PSA-laminates. Suitable substrates include PE-laminated paper, polyester films (PET) and papers. Because of the high efficiency and stable release characteristics of CRA® 21, the product is ideal for the production of double-sided release liners.

Processing

Batches of coating compound must be prepared in the order given below

  1. First pour in solvent-based DEHESIVE® polymer
  2. Add solvent and stir slowly until the mixture is homogeneous
  3. Add CRA® 21 release modifier and stir slowly until the mixture is homogeneous
  4. Thoroughly stir in Crosslinker to this mixture
  5. Slowly stir in catalyst.

Local over-concentrations must be avoided.

Additional Information

To obtain exceptionally high release forces, CRA® 21 can also be processed without DEHESIVE® . In this case, the amounts of catalyst and crosslinker required for efficient curing may vary from DEHESIVE® containing formulations. However, we recommend the adjustment of specific formulations to optimize final coating properties for the intended use.
