Silcolease® RE POLY 368

Silcolease® RE POLY 368 by Elkem Silicones is solvent-free, 100% recycled silicone polymer for release liners, labels and tapes. It transforms silicone waste into new, high-performance silicone release coatings through Elkem’s pioneering method. It is a sustainable product developed by patented depolymerization technology. It provides reliable non-stick and easy-release properties of self-adhesive materials. It demonstrated the same processing capabilities as virgin ones, even when running at high processing speed. Silcolease® RE POLY 368 has 70% lower carbon footprint compared to its non-recycled counterparts.
