What factors determine the peeling performance and printing effect of PET Release Printed Films?
The peeling performance and printing effect of PET Release Printed Films are mainly determined by the following key factors:
1. Coating material and thickness
The type of coating material (such as silicone, polyurethane or acrylic resin, etc.) has a direct impact on the peeling force. Different materials have different peel strengths and adhesion characteristics, which can be adapted to various application requirements.
The coating thickness also affects the peeling performance. Thicker coatings generally provide stronger peeling force, ensuring smooth peeling on high-viscosity labels or films, while thinner coatings provide a slight peeling effect.
2. Substrate surface energy and treatment method
The surface energy of PET substrate directly affects the adhesion of the coating. When the surface energy is high, the coating is easy to adhere evenly, resulting in stable peeling performance.
Surface treatment technology (such as corona treatment or plasma treatment) can increase the surface energy, help the coating adhere and enhance the printing effect, make the ink or pigment more vivid, and avoid shedding or fading.
3. Peel force adjustment and adhesion control
By adding special additives, the size of the peeling force can be precisely controlled. For example, some applications require a coating with low peel force, while other applications require strong peel force to ensure that the material does not fall off easily.
The choice of adhesive can also affect the peeling and printing effect. Specific adhesives can enhance the adhesion of the coating to the PET substrate, thereby obtaining a consistent peeling effect.
4. Coating and drying process
The accuracy and uniformity of the coating process directly affect the stability of the peeling performance and printing effect. Uneven coating will lead to inconsistent peeling force, affecting the use effect.
The drying temperature and time determine the hardening effect of the coating. The appropriate drying process can enhance the durability of the coating and give it better peeling and printing performance.
5. Environmental factors
Temperature and humidity can affect the performance of PET Release Printed Films. High temperature or humidity changes may cause changes in peeling force or printing clarity. Therefore, films used in different environments usually need to be adjusted accordingly during production to ensure stability.
