Release Coatings

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 UV LED), 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: Radiation curing silicone systems enable room temperature, inline siliconizing - deal for heat sensitive 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 UV LED - 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.

• Easy / premium release: TEGO® RC 902, RC 922, RC 1908 (broad PSA compatibility; premium release for demanding adhesives) 

• One component & efficiency: TEGO® RC 702, RC 1904, RC 1200 (ready to use; reduced penetration on porous substrates) 

• Sustainability: TEGO® RC 2000 LCF (recycled feedstock; UV LED or UV Arc curing) 

Benefits: Inline, room temperature siliconizing for both paper and filmic substrates; fast cure and high line speeds; food contact approvals available for specified formulations. 

Industrial & Specialty Tapes

From foam and reflective films to electronics die-cutting, select robust release with consistent stripping behavior. 
Recommended TEGO® RC components:

• Controlled/tight release builds: TEGO® 715, RC 800 and RC 1772

• Premium release for highdemand tapes: TEGO® RC 922, RC 902 and RC 1904 (broad PSA compatibility), see Overview of TEGO RC Silicones

• Highspeed converting: TEGO® RC 702 (easy release at high speeds) 

Benefits: Compact UV equipment retrofit to existing lines; efficient inline release coating; adjustable release from premium/easy to tight via component ratios. 

Hygiene & Medical Release Liners

Stable, low migration release for sensitive applications - paired with process simplicity. 
Recommended TEGO® RC components:

• Easy/controlled profiles: TEGO® RC 902, RC 922, RC 715, RC 1904

• Porous substrates: TEGO® RC 1200 (reduced penetration; lower coat weight) 

• Sustainability choice: TEGO® RC 2000 LCF (UVLED, recycled feedstock) 

Benefits: Room temperature coating preserves fiber structure; excellent aging stability even with self-crosslinking adhesives; food contact options when formulated/cured as specified. 

Linerless Labels

Unlock compact, waste-reducing label formats with silicone directly on the facestock. 
Recommended TEGO® RC components (linerless):

• Direct thermal / topcoated thermal: TEGO® RC 1930, RC 1772, RC 730 (minimize printhead buildup; tailored for thermal papers) 

• Foundational blends: TEGO® RC 902 + RC 711 

Benefits: Material savings & waste reduction vs. traditional liners; smooth printing performance with reduced contamination. 

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, retrofit friendly UV units, and high line speeds reduce footprint and costs. 

• Sustainability in action: Recycled silicone feedstocks (LCF) and UV LED curing help cut energy use and carbon impact - without sacrificing anchorage or release control. 

• Data-driven, formula based 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 UV LED and LCF products. That’s the kind of journey customers remember - and recommend.
