Reduce Waste, Boost Speed: Evonik’s UV-LED Release Coating Innovations
Labels, tapes, hygiene liners, and linerless systems demand fast, clean, and consistent release—without compromising speed, substrate integrity, or sustainability. Evonik develops and sells advanced TEGO® RC Silicones to help you siliconize with confidence: ultrafast UV curing (including UVLED), robust anchorage, precise release levels, and options with recycled silicone feedstock to lower your carbon footprint.
Why Choose Evonik for Release Coatings?
Proven UV technology, inline efficiency: Radiationcuring silicone systems enable roomtemperature, inline siliconizing—ideal for heatsensitive papers and films—with compact equipment, high line speeds, and reduced energy demand.
Precise, tunable release: From easy/premium to controlled/tight, tailor the profile with TEGO® RC components or benefit from ease of handling with pre-blended one-component release coatings.
Sustainability builtin: Choose TEGO® RC 2000 LCF—made from recycled silicone feedstocks and curable with UVLED—to lower energy consumption and carbon footprint while maintaining performance.
Application breadth: PSA labels, industrial tapes, hygiene products, electronics and construction uses—even linerless labels—supported by global technical centers and customer collaboration.

Your Evonik Advantage
We develop and sell complete release solutions—silicones + initiator + process knowhow—supported by global technical centers and intoPerformance resources.
Process excellence: Inline coating at room temperature, retrofitfriendly UV units, and high line speeds reduce footprint and costs.
Sustainability in action: Recycled silicone feedstocks (LCF) and UVLED curing help cut energy use and carbon impact—without sacrificing anchorage or release control.
Datadriven, formulabased release coatings to meet your individual performance needs: our experts codevelop the right TEGO® RC formulation for your substrates and adhesives, validate it on pilot lines, and help you scale inline—so your operators see instant UV cure, your QA logs show stable release, and your sustainability dashboard reflects measurable energy savings with UVLED and LCF products. That’s the kind of journey customers remember—and recommend.
